KINGSTON, Jamaica— Mayor of Kingston and St Andrew, Andrew Swaby has announced a partnership between the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) and the Integrity Commission to host workshops and training sessions for councillors on anti-corruption and good governance.
He made the disclosure on Tuesday during the KSAMC council meeting.
“Councillors the KSAMC is partnering with the Integrity Commission to facilitate a series of training workshops and training sessions to educate and inform councillors and staff on anti-corruption and good governance,” Mayor Swaby, who is also the councillor for the Vineyard Town Division, said.
While the mayor did not say how long the training will run, he said the workshop consists of 12 modules.
The workshop will begin on June 25.
“The first session will be held on June 25th. Modules one and two will be covered at the first workshop. Module one will be on the problem of corruption and module two will be an overview of Jamaica’s anti-corruption framework,” he added.
Swaby said that the Corporation is in the process of identifying a venue, as the council chamber is not appropriate for the workshop.
