Nine opposition Members of Parliament (MP), one former legislator and more than 70 top government officials have failed to make their mandatory declarations to the Integrity Commission, pursuant to Section 19 of the Integrity Commission Act.
The Commission’s publication of the list comes on the heels of Vice-President Bharrat Jagdeo calling on the body to make known the defaulters. He also warned that government officials who fail to honour their obligation could lose their jobs.
The default specified persons in public life are requested to submit their 2022 Declaration Form on or before July 31, 2023. Continued failure to file will now constituted an offence as per Section 22 of the Commission’s Act No. 1997. The offence stipulates in Section 22 a fine of twenty-five thousand Guyana Dollars (GYD $25,000) or imprisonment for a term of not less than six months nor more than one year. Further failure constitutes a continuing offence and the person will be fined ten thousand Guyana Dollars (GYD $10,000) for each day the offence continues.
As at June 16, 2023, the following persons in public life failed to submit their declaration to the Integrity Commission for the 2022 declaration’s period (1st July, 2021 to 30 June 2022):
