Political scientists, the Integrity Group and the Private Sector have urged the Senate to pass the Integrity in Public Life Bill (2023) without delay. They claim that it is in our national interest. If these groups are politically compromised, then passing the Bill may not be in the public’s interest.
We are told that Barbados’ reputation depends on it being passed since only two countries in this world do not have Integrity legislation, Barbados and Syria. We seem to have forgotten that Transparency International annually ranks the most corrupt countries. Every year, all but one of the top 10 most corrupt countries have integrity legislation – which is clearly ineffective.
INEFFECTIVE LEGISLATION.
Our Integrity in Public Life Bill (2023) is ineffective, and much worse than the 2018 version – which was beyond terrible. After we objected to such a blatant attempt at making corruption legal in Barbados, the 2018 Bill went to the Select Committee for improvement where we presented our concerns.
There now seems to be a public relations campaign to distract the public from the ineffectiveness of the 2023 Bill, with the claim that current judges are not captured in the Bill. Whether judges are captured in the Bill or not will not prevent the legalisation of corruption allowed in the 2023 Bill.
LEGALISING CORRUPTION.
Section 32.4 of the Integrity in Public Life Bill (2023) notes that once a person has retired from public life for five years, then he cannot be investigated for corruption. In the 2018 Bill, that time was two years. The Attorney General saw two years as a tight deadline to force the public service to investigate quickly. We saw it as a glaring loophole for legalising corruption in Barbados.
In the private sector, it can take over a decade for evidence of corruption to be uncovered by responsible junior staff, who will, by that time, be senior enough to access sensitive information in the company’s files.
In the public sector, the Auditor General may not get around to doing special audits of questionable projects until after 5 years have elapsed. The report is then written in year six, and laid in Parliament in year seven. Therefore, the five year limit only serves to legalise any corruption that took place during that time. If a time limit must be placed, then it should be a minimum of 15 years.
BUSINESS AS USUAL.
The 2018 version of the Bill described the acts of corruption and bribery in sections 51 to 53. But the fines for being convicted of corruption and bribery were not deterrents – $10,000 to $20,000. We recommended that such fines be increased to $500,000.
To signal to those paying and receiving bribes that it will be business as usual in Barbados, and that they will be protected, the 2023 Bill deleted all definitions and fines for corruption and bribery that were in the 2018 Bill. The 2023 Bill then increased the fines for leaking and receiving confidential information from the Commission – from $5,000 to $100,000.
A bad Integrity bill passed solely for public relations purposes is not better than having no Integrity law at all. Barbados’ choice is simple. Either have no law and keep corruption illegal, or pass an Integrity law that will definitely make corruption and bribery legal.
Legislating corruption into law…creating avenues for more corruption
Secret international networks of people in positions of power such as judges and lawyers in courts, politicians, police, government and criminals granting favours on request and helping each other leads to corruption. I have seen how this works someone makes an application and someone else is notified and processes it automatically granting approval.
This integrity legislation thing has been knocking around since 1975!!! Here are a couple of comments I made, one back in 2018 and the other in 2008.

Many years ago, in fact more than a decade, I showed how division based on race was used for political advantage and gave an example of the House of Assembly as being a purveyor of the “racism”.
ITAL was the name of the game back then and I showed that it was not a new concept and had been undermined from as long ago as 1975 when it was first raised in the House of Assembly.
It isn’t a surprise that we have sunk to the depths to which we have sunk given the deliberate actions of past and present politicians to divide us!!
Here is the example of an extract from the 1975 debate.

Here is an extract from a debate in the House of Assembly (1975) related to ITAL:
“Can you countenance anybody asking A.S. Bryden – he held office in the vestry – or who was so mad as to write in the newspaper asking him to declare his assets?
THEY have lost political power now and THEY are asking every BLACK man who is holding office, so long as he can change a car three times a year, walk about looking clean and carrying a cheque book to declare his assets” said (Patsy) Springer.”
Here was a sitting member of Parliament, (DLP) using race to justify why there should be no Integrity Legislation, a rather topical area of conversation of today!!
Wonder if this is the hold up now!! … same party wouldn’t you know!!
(Extracted from an article by Sanka Price entitled “All Talk on Integrity Law” – Heated House Debates over 35 years)
… and then there is the “white shadows” speech, used in the 1981(?) election process by the Honorable “Don” Blackman who switched sides at will, …. and the “redressing past imbalances” reasoning in the award of the Highway 2A Contract that ended our country Barbados in the Privy Council and cost it a million dollars, ….. at least.
He put The Honorable Clyde Mascoll to shame when it came to switching sides.
Guess that’s what you do when you earn the right to carry the title “The Honorable” before your name.
We can guage which of these two was the more “Honorable”.
… and wasn’t it Sir COW who took our country, or was it the GOB, to the PC?!!
All hail Sir COW!!
Pity the tief cow int around to get arrested with all the other thieves…am sure there is a stand-in(s) to be found in that gang of crooks…..their partners in crimes against the people and country will need likeminded company when that time comes.

@David, one small detail!
Alex Tasker is 56?
That can’t be right.
I recall his brother, who as far as I know is a twin, as an athlete from school competitions and he was certainly not in Div 5 when I was in Div 1 …
Am I missing something … Is this a different brother Tasker!
Just wondering. Peace.
@Dee Word
You are correct, local media getting it wrong is par. He is 60+.
The blogmaster agrees with the thrust of Grenville’s article. We have certain crimes deemed so egregious that there is no statute of limitations. Corruption by public officials should be categorized as such therefore the climate should be conducive to track such crimes that will be difficult to untangled. Public officials are burdened with the responsibility of public trust.
@David, your thesis is NOT practical.
The crimes that have no statute of limitations which you call egregious are almost always matters of physical violence or those against the state like sedition etc … to place corrupt financial actions in that realm is impractical.
Such matters are going to be affected by evidence being maintained; persons losing memory (conveniently or otherwise) and most importantly significance of prosecution after a very long time.
Yes, you can argue that all those issues also relate to those egregious type cases too but a case of corruption much more quickly loses its relevance.
I am not saying such poltical corruption crimes are insignificant, nor that they do not badly subvert public trust … simply saying that realism MUST place a time limit on prosecution.
@Dee Word
The blogmaster was careful to frame the suggestion around a breach of public trust in elected officials. A society can deem anything legal for good reason.
People should send their Court statements by registered post as they “lose them” claiming they were not received.
Welcome Evil, Go To Hell
Jack Warner is living a charmed life; he has been able to avoid deportation to the US these many years and is even venturing on to the political scene in T&T once again. The Privy Council in London denied Warner’s appeal to avoid deportation in November 2022, but it appears deportation is not imminent.
Tasker should have consulted with Warner instead of local talent to determine strategy.
Talk about mañana.
Don’t stop the Carnival.
If you have money and ‘connections’ there are ‘options’.
Tasker just needs a medical diagnosis which prohibits travel. Ingrid will milk that angle.
Warner has the age considerations well.

Political scams are usually only investigated when people leave office.
onald Trump’s latest and greatest brand new charges took 18 months to take hold and be put into effect. Corruption Investigation proceedings are slow.
People in positions of power should be treated like bank workers where they are forced to take 2 weeks off each year so that their work can be investigated for fraud and corruption.
The idea is these people have to be in the office to cover up their scams.

Corruption in Bim follows closely corruption in US and other places so there is no harm of straying off topic Herr.
In fact, this corruption matter is directly linked to the US jurisdiction.
Clearly our pols would like to cloak themselves like the former US president where lies and utter bogus legal prattle is defended as ‘free speech’ .. I hope and pray that Bajans don’t allow Mia to hoodwink them like that.
@John, 81 million votes my backside EXACTLY.
Millions have voted their support for liars and mad-men across history so big deal that this troll is the latest such.
It’s remarkable that the more info we have at our fingertips the more gullible we are .. actually no, that should be: the more distrustful we become of folks we don’t like, the easier it is to become hateful fanatical followers of bigoted autocrats.

This is the work of a critical mass of countries trading in their own currencies, the inordinate printing of US dollars, the dumping of treasuries, uncontrolled supply side inflation, etc.
Also seeing where Australia and other jurisdictions are fighting tooth and nail to work from home permanently, now “the genie has been released from the bottle.”
It transformed the whole landscape.

Yes, and is keeping this writer toooooo busy we’re afraid.
America has now entered a possible cycle of downgrades not unlike what Barbados saw under the last regime.
Maybe Barbados could school them on how to get out from under a financialization calamity.
A web of deceit set by them which has boomeranged and entrapped the masters of the universe themselves.
Worse will come.
Yesterday the Algerian defense minister flew to Moscow.
Algeria a former French colony which gave 1 million of its citizens in throwing out the French supreme racists.
Is a neighbour of Niger.
Niger the holder of large uranium, gold etc, like other countries in the Sahel, is the basis of the wealth of France.
Niger, not Nigeria.
Niger’s military, just overthrew a French lackey for a president. Even as the entire region is throwing out the vicious French.
There are French and American soldier in military based in Niger. The American have a drone base.
ECOWAS the American backed regional security force operating under the orders of their curators in Washington.
Just gave the revolutionary forces seven days to give up power and reinstall the puppet president on Niger.
That is before this trip of the Algerian defence minister. And since then the declarations of the presidents of both Burkino Faso and Mali, having themselves just kicking out the French.
Have said clearly that if ECOWAS attempted to invade Niger their would consider it as a declaration of war, thus coming to Niger’s defence.
This reminds us of the game Caricom recently played around Haiti.
Thus this visit to Moscow must be pregnant with meanings.
Pregnant frim the theeeee big deckie?
The White people and their Black financial slaves must be destroyed.
Pacha…your thoughts.

Told you this a few weeks ago. The amerikkkans are using the Rwandans and the Kenyan as the spearhead of the invasion. And Caricom as background for a false legitimacy.

Corruption being exposed through Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family.
Links back to Obama and Hilary Clinton.
Rich / famous / powerful / successful people generally / invariably turn out to be egotistic / narcissistic / psychopathic / self important with dysfunctional personality disorders.
Which is why Corruption is rife.
Actually…
Egotistic / narcissistic / psychopathic / self important with dysfunctional personality disorders often become rich because those are the characteristics that generate wealth, fame, power (and imaginary success) in this convoluted shiite world of confusion….where Demons currently run things.
Characteristics of love, selflessness and community focus, upon which REAL success, meaningful wealth, and long term power depend are seen as weaknesses in a world where right is wrong and up is down.
…but patience is one of the greatest of virtues.
Many millionaires and billionaires do not get their riches by actually working hard. They lobby governments for favourable consideration.
Joe Biden is a millionaire likewise Nancy Pelosi. All they have done is abuse their positions for their financial benefit.
Biden has always worked on the Government’s dime until he discovered how to use his position to make money.
But he has not created wealth, there are no fruits of his labour that are palpable.
That is one of the reasons why Trump is so hated by Washington because he shows them all up for what they are, spongers.

“The Battle for Africa is on! After Niger military officers removed the pro-French president from power, Burkina Faso and Mali promised to support their neighbour in case of foreign intervention.
The race for the African continent and its natural resources began in the late 19th century. By WWI, the spheres of influence had been finally divided with France controlling almost all the Western part, including Mali. Locals claim they will never forget the horrors of being a French colony. ‘They killed us; they raped us. They used us as their tools,’ says DR Amadou Maiga, economic sciences PhD.
Though in 1960 Mali gained independence, France retained its influence. Having seized all the main deposits of resources, the French kept exploiting the country’s economy.
Years later, Malians know that France will always want to maintain control of their country – but they promise to fight for their independence. Discover more about the roots of the French colonialism in Africa, and its bloody consequences, in ‘Mali: Au Revoir, France’.

The dominant discourses are not in terms of a ‘race for Afrika.’ Given the colonial implications.
In fact the “Young Turks” , pun intended”, are seeing things in terms of Afrika for Afrikans.
Such discourses are more properly aligned with yours.
They must lead to the White man’s religion. The Arab man religion and the socalled Jewish religion demise.

Hebrews 10:24-25 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
THIS VERY INTERESTING TEXT IN HEBREWS 10 IS ONE ABOUT WHICH MANY HAS NOT CAUGHT UP
FIRST WE SEE THAT the Day IS DEFINITELY drawing near. AS ALSO PREDICTED IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-7 THUS
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
DONT YOU LIKE VERSE 7?
ALL OUR BRILLIANT BRIMBLERS ARE PREDICTED TO BE EVER LEARNING BUT ARE never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS SAID IN Hebrews 10:24 IS THAT FOLK OUGHT TO consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
Pacha…wait until it finally sinks in now that am telling it that the corrupt politician’s decades of corruption created a power vacuum that neither them nor their corruot minded supporters can fill…..how could they when they dont even know it exists or how to fill it…..now they know, they must be so proud…

You need to take off your white spectacles and stop believing their lies and misinformation.
USA and UK offered Jews British Palestine or Kenya to set up their Zionist State and they decided that they would rather fight Arabs than unruly Africans.
World War II (1939 – 1945) and World War I (1914 to 1918) were primarily battles between Europeans.
Hitler discriminated against Jews, Gypsies and Blacks as he borrowed from Anglo-American White Supremacy Slave Codes with his eugenics version of Master Race and claimed they had impure (black) blood.
After World War I in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, France, and imposed sanctions on Germany.
When Germany was starving and couldn’t invade Africa as it was fully colonised except for Ethiopia, which Mussolini invaded in October 1935, launching a war that would drive Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie into exile, pave the way for Italian occupation, and test the capacity and will of the League of Nations to check the aggression of expansionist states.
Some more Treaties like Mud:
The Berlin Conference of 1884–1885, also known as the Congo Conference met on 15 November 1884, and after an adjournment concluded on 26 February 1885, with the signature of a General Act, regulating the European colonisation and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period. The conference was organized by Otto von Bismarck, the first chancellor of Germany at the request of King Leopold II. The General Act of Berlin can be seen as the formalisation of the Scramble for Africa that was already in full swing.
The Reinsurance Treaty was a diplomatic agreement between the German Empire and the Russian Empire that was in effect from 1887 to 1890.
