Integrity Commission to pursue defaulters through the court system

The Integrity Commission say that it is currently engaging an attorney for the prosecution of public officeholders who failed to submit their financial declarations for the year 2022.

This was disclosed by the commission’s secretary Dr Amanda Jaisingh via email on Tuesday following a request by Stabroek News a few weeks ago for an update on the defaulters for 2022 and 2023.

“The Commission continues to receive outstanding declarations and soon will be publishing defaulters for the 2023 declaration period as mandated by the Act,” Singh wrote in the email.
