Est. regulatory
system
Train
MPs

Determining the purpose, and establishing the
principles of an ethics and conduct regime

Creating the political will for reform
Build a coalition for change within parliament around the need for an ethics
and conduct regime. Politicians must understand why a comprehensive and
effective ethics is needed and what it is designed to achieve.

Get agreement on ethical principles
Generate agreement around the broad principles by which all politicians
should abide. E.g. Integrity, Accountability, Objectivity, Impartial, etc.

Developing the content of the ethics and
conduct regime

Identifying conflict of
interest
Public Mandate vs Private Interest
The ultimate task of the MP is to ensure
that they always seek to promote the
public interest.

Transparency and disclosure

Forms and timing of disclosure
Who should register?
What should be registered?

Establishing the regulatory system and training
members

Mechanisms for regulation and enforcement
Develop a robust system of regulation which can enforce the rules. This
includes finding the right mechanisms and proportionate sanctions.

Developing a culture
The system must also include provision for the training and education of
MPs, providing continuing advice and guidance on how to interpret and
implement the rules.

The creation of the ethics and conduct
regime may will not solve all the problems
faced by the Parliament or other public
institution. The principles, rules and
regulations should be viewed as only one
part of a wider effort to improve the
functioning of the institution.
Let us work together to help prevent
misdemeanor in public sector, and help
ensure that Parliament and other public
institutions are accountable and
trustworthy, to finally tackle the white
collar crimes.
