Transparency Institute Guyana Inc. (TIGI) continues to be vocal on a range of corruption issues hampering anti-corruption efforts and stymieing development in Guyana. But while the awareness that TIGI’s advocacy raises is immeasurable, in the absence of litigation, TIGI’s ability to effect change will remain in question, observers say.
This is especially in light of the fact that the coalition government continues to demonstrate a willingness to ignore criticism, and defy judicial decisions.
Recent subject matters of TIGI’s advocacy include compliance by public officers with the Integrity Commission Act, and an allegation that the award of petroleum exploration licences ought to have been put to tender pursuant to the Procurement Act, Cap 73:05 (Cap 73:05).
