Jamaican Politicians - Declare Your Assets, Income, and Tax Returns Now

The history of corruption in Jamaica has caused great harm to Jamaica's reputation. Decent Jamaicans are of the view that our elected and appointed leaders (politicians) have been very ineffective in putting adequate legislation and mechanisms in place to reduce corruption. We also believe that our politicians should lead from the front, and by example, in all efforts to be transparent and accountable.

Based on the foregoing, we believe that ALL Jamaican elected and appointed politicians must, on an annual basis, make a FULL public declaration of all their assets (and related expenses), income, and income tax returns (income tax returns when legally required to file).

Therefore, this petition is meant to force them to make those annual public declarations. Failure to make said declarations shall result in hefty fines (penalties and interest) with a minimum of US$50,000, and prison time (minimum of 36 months in prison). It shall also result in them being barred from any future public office (elected or appointed).
