The passage of the Whistleblower Protection Bill 2022 in Parliament is being applauded by the T&T Transparency Institute.

TTTI says whistleblower legislation has been identified as one of the key tools in the fight against corruption and its advocacy on the matter has been unrelenting for several years.

It notes that the 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 protection.

TTTI is now calling for the swift, uninterrupted and supported passage of the bill through the Upper House.

Additionally, it is reiterating its call for the introduction, enactment, and enforcement of Campaign Finance Legislation to fight corruption before the 2025 elections.
