PHILIPSBURG:--- The Integrity Chamber recently submitted an advice to Government and Parliament on the screening of ministers. The advice outlines the importance of implementing integrity norms and values in the screening process and emphasizes the important role that ministers play in upholding public trust and confidence in the government administration.

It is, therefore, imperative that they act with honesty and impartiality in their day-to-day decision-making, or they risk damaging the credibility of the government and the country.
