Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira yesterday said proposed amendments to the Integrity Commis-sion Act will reduce the room for excuses by declarants.
She was speaking on the sidelines of a workshop that her ministry held with the Private Sector Com-mission on “fighting corruption in Guyana”. It was held at the Pegasus Suites and Corporate Centre.
The workshop, according to the ministry, is a part of the continued efforts by the government since 2021 to strengthen Guyana’s anti-corruption framework. The one-day workshop saw in attendance government officials and senior representatives from several private sector agencies to address the implementation of recommendations emanating from reviews conducted under the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption (IACAC) in March of this year and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC).
