The Trinidad and Tobago Transparency Institute applauds the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Bill 2022 in Parliament on June 21, 2024.
It is now calling for what it describes as the swift, uninterrupted and supported passage through the Upper House.
TTTI is also appealing for the introduction, enactment, and enforcement of Campaign Finance Legislation as another critical tool in the ongoing fight against corruption before the 2025 elections, as previously promised.
It says Whistleblower legislation has been identified as one of the key tools in the fight against corruption by Trinidad and Tobago Transparency Institute.
It says advocacy has been unrelenting for several years and it is 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 sector can be made under the protection of this legislation from detrimental action.
