Paper Delivered by Julian N. Johnson Chairman of the Integrity
“POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRITY LEGISLATION IN THE ORGANIZATION OF EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES (OECS) WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DOMINICA” Paper delivered by Julian N. Johnson Chairman of the Integrity Commission, Dominica th Tuesday 26 June, 2012 Caribbean Small States Conference, St Vincent and the Grenadines June 25 th – 26 th , 2012 ________________________________________________________________________________ “POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRITY LEGISLATION IN THE ORGANIZATION OF EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES (OECS) WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DOMINICA” BY JULIAN N. JOHNSON 1. INTRODUCTION I have been invited to write a “practitioner’s paper” relating to the work of the integrity commissions in the member states of the OECS. It is taken that the Commonwealth Secretariat’s instructions, properly construed, require me to examine the recent anti-corruption statutes passed by the OECS governments and the performance of the integrity commissions focusing on the activities of the Integrity Commission of the Commonwealth of Dominica and drawing on my experiences as Chairman thereof over the past three years. Though my invitation is to produce a “practitioner’s paper” it would be remiss of me if I did not, at the outset, draw your attention to the study just published by an eminent regional academic and fellow practitioner in the field of the oversight of public sector ethical infrastructure – the former Contractor General of Jamaica, Dr. Derrick V. McKoy. In his book entitled “CORRUPTION: Law, Governance and Ethics in the Commonwealth Caribbean” (Hansib Pub., May 2012) the author sets out to address the issues of corruption in the Commonwealth Caribbean, the emerging law on the subject and the institutions established by member states to discourage corruption or to promote anti-corruption initiatives. -

Acknowledgements This publication is the result of a joint effort by the Office for the Promotion of Democracy of the Organization of American States, and by International IDEA under the framework of the Inter-American Forum on Political Parties. The Inter-American Forum on Political Parties was established in 2001 to fulfill the mandates of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the Summit of the Americas related to the strengthening and modernization of political parties. In both instruments, the Heads of State and Government noted with concern the high cost of elections and called for work to be done in this field. This study attempts to address this concern. The overall objective of this study was to provide a comparative analysis of the 34 member states of the OAS, assessing not only the normative framework of political party and campaign financing, but also how legislation is actually put into practice. -
