The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Alliance for Change (AFC) has called on the government of which it is part to “establish the Integrity Commission as a matter of urgent national priority”.
The call was issued in a statement on Monday following the meeting of the NEC over the weekend. Eyebrows will be raised by the call as it will question the AFC’s own effectiveness in the governing coalition. Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, the highest ranked AFC member in the coalition has had responsibility for governance issues such as the Integrity Commission and the Code of Conduct for government officials. Both of these were to be in place within months of the APNU+AFC government coming to office in May, 2015 but action is still to be taken.
