GUERNSEY POLITICAL EYE

In March 2011 the Guernsey States took on

the six principals of good Governance.

 

Guernsey Political Eye is a website set up to facilitate the placing of reports, statements and matters of public interest online which in other circumstances would not necessarily have appeared in the public domain and to collate the facts on those individual subjects onto seperate pages, making them easily searchable. Above are the links that will take you to pages holding the information on the main subjects so far.

The site is being developed and will continue over the coming months.Other subjects that come to mind are:

The British Irish Conference, is it value for money.

Guernsey Offices abroad, Brussels & China, costs to the taxpayer.

The Wales Audit Office ?

States Deputies Pay ?

 

Anyone who would like to submit any  factual comments or reports on any of the subjects, they can be sent to:

Chief Minister has misled States Assembly.

 

Chief Minister responds to the email below and insists it is printed in full on this website. It is printed in full with response.

 

Email sent to all deputies re misleading inaccurate statements by Chief Minister.

 

Chief Minister Lyndon Trott makes a valid point in an email to me 4th May 2011.

 

Penultimately, I am advised that you publicly stated at the launch of your latest website that you would " not be writing comments " but would be simply publishing material for others to scrutinise. I would hope that you will publish this message accordingly.
REPLY: Yes you are quite right, I had not intended writing comments, but at the same time I was not willing to let blatant misleading inaccurate statements go without drawing attention to them and pointing out the contradictions, that would be remiss of me. It is then for people to assess them once pointed out and decide for themselves, and I will continue in this vein.
 

States debate for March 2012

An interesting item on the agenda is:

Improving Governance in the States of Guernsey 

This has been produced by three States Committees, the SACC (States Constitution & Assembly Committee), the PAC ( Public Accounts Committee) and the Scrutiny Committee.

If the proposals are adopted it will go along way to make the States more open, transparent and accountable.

But will members accept something that places them under more scrutiny?
