PHILIPSBURG--"While corruption is a worldwide phenomenon, combating this scourge needs to be tailored to local perceptions and vulnerabilities. Understanding the phenomenon and its effects on society is the first step. It is also a community effort," said Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams on Sunday in a message to mark International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD) on Friday.
On St. Maarten, the Integrity Project is well underway, since the financial approval was given several months ago. As part of the Integrity Project of the Government of St. Maarten, stakeholders are busy developing the country's first integrity vision, which will then be formulated into an Integrity Policy document.
The November 25 Integrity Stakeholders Vision Workshop was attended by secretary generals and department heads within government with defined Integrity tasks and responsibilities, the General Audit Chamber and the Ombudsman, among others.
In March 2011, the financial agreement for the highly anticipated Integrity Policy St. Maarten was signed after the Council of Ministers approved this project in December 2010.
The United Nations (UN) General Assembly on October 31, 2003, adopted the UN Convention against Corruption. The assembly also designated December 9, as IACD to raise awareness of corruption and the role of the convention in combating and preventing it. The convention entered into force in December 2005. This year's theme is "Act against Corruption Today."
