The new Government is set to approve new regulations to govern the way Ministers and Parliamentarians behave in office.
The proposed code of conduct was discussed Tuesday by the Cabinet of Ministers and will be used as a guide for not only Ministers and Members of Parliament (MPs), but holders of public office, says Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman.
The code of conduct will address issues of transparency and corruption, misconduct in public office and bribe taking.
Over the years, the behaviour of public officials has seen very little actions or sanctions taken against public officials despite persistent allegations.
The new administration had vowed to pass laws that ensure sanctions against guilty persons.
According to Trotman, within three weeks, the Cabinet of Ministers will be meeting in a retreat to discuss and approve the Code of Conduct.
The Ministry of Governance had been looking at best practices that prevail in countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and even Africa.
The regulations will be adjusted to fit the Guyana situation.
The retreat with the Ministers will propose with the possibilities of using the Integrity Commission for investigations and charges where necessary.
