While the Government’s efforts to fight corruption can be applauded, the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) is also saying that “the fight” cannot be confined to the pursuit of “scampish” individuals.It recommended that a wise and constructive anti-corruption campaign would address both preventative or political measures to strengthen systems as well as prosecutorial measures to punish perpetrators.It said that what the nation is currently witnessing by the administration falls short of this prescription.Pointing to a few shortcomings in the government’s fight against corruption, the GHRA said that the location of the “State Asset Recovery Unit” (SARU) within the Office of the Presidency, however temporarily, was a step in the wrong direction.“Moreover, public indignation is being continuously fuelled by a steady drip-feed of insinuation, gossip and speculation.? Anti-corruption activity appears to be the over-riding Cabinet priority with the Senior Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan? investigating the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), the junior Finance Minister, Jaipaul Sharma conducting forensic audits, the Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson ordering enquiries into GPL, the ( former ) Minister with responsibility for Housing,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, Keith Scott pursuing? Pradoville Two, and the Minister of Public? Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, taking a ‘personal interest’ in the actions of the former Minister of Finance.”However justified this campaign is, the Human Rights Commission articulated that it is being conducted with little political prudence or impartiality, creating credibility issues that risk jeopardizing the likelihood either of successful prosecution or popular satisfaction that justice is being done.It said that the absence of requisite laws and prosecutorial expertise alone are grounds for dampening rather than fuelling public expectations.The Association, in a statement,Cheap MLB Jerseys China, yesterday, said that it is also disturbed by the extent to which the achievement of a more unified future for Guyana is being jeopardized by the polarizing effects of poor political decision-making.The GHRA said that given the polarized context and limited capacity, a more concerted effort to build effective coalitions as opposed to striving to go-it-alone regardless, seems to be required.It said that serious consideration must be given, therefore, to encourage Government to harness capacities beyond its own resources in a structured, non-partisan manner.The GHRA then referred to Article 13 of the Constitution which it said is frequently cited as providing authority for inclusive,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, participatory decision-making.It said that the real challenge is at the operational level, that is, ways of making participation work.“In this respect, civil society, broadly understood to encompass professional, religious,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale, business, trade union, academic,Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys, philanthropic bodies and NGOs, has been remiss in failing to propose how Article 13 might be operationalized.”The GHRA said that the proposed mechanism employed by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) which brings together Government, the extractive industry and civil society is one such example.It said that a similar formula of bringing Government Agencies, representatives of the relevant sector along with representatives from civil society could be tested in many other areas of public life.The Commission said that applying this thinking to SARU, for example, would suggest the early separation from the Office of the President appointment of an impartial Board of Directors, selected by a formula that brings the three sectors together – State, technical and civic – ?to re-assure all shades of opinion and secure effective results.
