Council of Ministers on governmental integrity. The sessions will take place every quarter.

The first session took place on 19 September 2023, with councillors Carlos Guiamo and Ruthlyn Lindor. After a short introduction, the meeting proceeded in a very interactive manner.

During the same meeting the Council of Ministers also deliberated on some points of the concept for a code of conduct for ministers. The code of conduct deals with a variety of topics such as non-performance, conflict of interest, work travel, how to handle gifts, and more.
