As part of its legislative agenda in the new parliamentary session, the APNU+AFC administration will be moving to strengthen anti-corruption legislation, President David Granger said yesterday.
Granger made the announcement during his address to the National Assembly, where he said the administration would be pursuing a “vigorous legislative agenda” for the remainder of the year and in 2018.
“Corruption is corrosive to the common good. It subverts institutions, inflicts injustices and impairs good governance. Your government intends, with your support, to enact legislation aimed at strengthening our anti-corruption effort. We also shall pursue regulations intended to fortify our system of local government,” he said.
