Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Delroy Chuck is urging countries across the region to strengthen cooperation against corruption, warning that its effects undermine public trust and deprive essential services of resources.
Speaking at a regional anti-corruption conference at the Organisation of American States headquarters in Washington, DC, Chuck called for closer collaboration among governments, investigators, civil society and the private sector.
He urged countries to share information and coordinate investigations, noting that bribery, fraud, money laundering and illicit financial flows frequently span several jurisdictions. Such cooperation, he said, would improve efforts to uncover wrongdoing, recover assets and bring offenders to justice.
Chuck said an effective response also requires transparent governance, consistent enforcement and public participation. He highlighted the need to protect people who report wrongdoing, noting that fear of retaliation can discourage disclosures.
Turning to Jamaica, the minister acknowledged continuing difficulties with public confidence, procurement oversight and the investigation and prosecution of corruption.
He pointed to the Integrity Commission and the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency as key institutions, stressing that both need sustained funding and operational support. He also urged authorities to adapt as technology and criminal networks evolve.
