Conflicts of Interest bill

[Jamie Palisades]

I propose the following legislation:

1. No person who is holding a position as a member or officer of a branch of CDS government may simultaneously hold a position as a member or officer in a different branch of CDS government.

2. All persons holding a position as a member or officer of a branch of CDS government must make a public 'declaration of interest' statement to the CDS Forums (or appropriate substititute medium), if they act to approve or reject any action, in their official government role, that they reasonably can conclude would benefit themselves uniquely, as opposed to the general case of benefits that accrue generally to all CDS citizens.

I think we need to talk some more about these issues in the RA, but wanted a draft on the table in order to facilitate that conversation. Regards Jamie

In the by-election debates, this week, we heard a suggestion about changing "oaths of office" to take come conflict of interest issues into acoount. I think we ought to work that into our working draft legislation.
