Monday November 6th 2023 will see a Sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly and will feature the first reading of the Integrity in Public Life (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

It will be held at the Assembly’s Chambers, Hamilton House, Charlestown, at 10am.

The Bill seeks to amend the Integrity in Public Life Ordinance Cap. 1.02 and for matters related thereto and connected therewith.

The Integrity in Public Life (IPL) Bill was unanimously passed in the Nevis Island Assembly in September 2013.

Since then, an IPL Commission was established to oversee all public officials (including Ministers of Government, Permanent Secretaries) and monitor their assets to ensure no wrongdoings occur while they are in office. The Sitting will be broadcast live on VON Radio 860AM and vonradio.com
