United States (US) Ambassador Nick Perry and British High Commissioner Judith Slater expressed their commitment to combating corruption and fostering good governance in partnership with Jamaica in a joint statement for International Anti-Corruption Day.
The statement highlighted the collaborative efforts between the US, the United Kingdom, and Jamaica in addressing corruption and their role in ensuring public trust and confidence in governmental institutions. The partnership involves various stakeholders, including the government, political opposition, judiciary, civil society groups, media, and concerned citizens.
The joint effort aims to strengthen democratic institutions in Jamaica, transcending political affiliations.
We encourage and support Jamaican leaders across the political spectrum in their fight against corruption. The long-term success of their efforts, however, will ultimately depend on the Jamaican people. Citizens across the world must continue to demand progress from their governments on an anti-corruption agenda in support of democracy, rule of law, and a bright, sustainable and prosperous future.
