Good Governance
Instill and Enforce Good Governance
TCCP puts community above self-interest, always. Good governance and strong institutions are the foundation of a fair society, where the rule of law is upheld, and no one is above the law.
TCCP is built on the principles of accountability and integrity, with a party constitution that enshrines our objectives, structure, leadership, ethics and operations to ensure all candidates are aligned to the party’s values and vision.
We say enough is enough to bad governance, irresponsible spending, side deals and undue influence from special interests.
TCCP will demonstrate our commitment to good governance by:
- Introducing a robust Parliamentary Code of Conduct and holding all elected politicians and public officers to the Seven Principles of Public Life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership based on respect
- Being fiscally responsible: controlling government spending, proactively planning for long-term prosperity, looking ahead in decades not election cycles, and being resilient in an unpredictable world
- Leading with integrity, holding to our values no matter the pressure and standing up for what is right
- Respecting collective responsibility, with open discussions informing decision-making that all members of Cabinet then support
- Engaging in clear, timely communication with the public, explaining rationale for decisions, providing progress updates, listening to feedback and complying with audit requirements
- Consider the feasibility of fixed Ministries to ensure continuity, deepen expertise and minimise the inefficiencies and disruption
- Strengthening legislation around Standards in Public Life and the Anti-Corruption Acts
- Implementing electoral reform, including greater regulation of campaign financing, a recall provision, and removing voter addresses from the electoral register
- Assess and consider voter system reform
- Transitioning to Outcomes Based Budgeting and Reporting to better assess government spending with enhanced transparency, increased accountability, improved resource allocation and better decision-making based on data insights
A stronger, fairer Cayman Islands needs leadership with the courage and impartiality to make difficult decisions, institutions with respect and authority, and a public informed and confident to speak up for what they believe in.
