THE EDITOR: The TT Transparency Institute (TTTI) applauds the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Bill 2022 in Parliament on June 21.
Whistleblower legislation has been identified as one of the key tools in the fight against corruption by TTTI. Our advocacy has been unrelenting for several years and we are delighted at this development.
This legislation is meant to provide a safe space so that witnesses and victims of corrupt practices can feel assured that their disclosures of improper conduct in the public and private sectors can be made under the protection of this legislation from detrimental action.
We call, therefore, for the swift, uninterrupted and supported passage through the Upper House.
Additionally, TTTI reiterates its call for the introduction, enactment and enforcement of campaign finance legislation as another critical tool in the ongoing fight against corruption before the 2025 general election, as previously promised.
