Peter Eigen


How to expose corruption. This little video is a speech by one of my heroes. I hope you will look at it and understand what he says.

Everything he speaks about is relevant to Anguilla as to every other country in the West Indies. Our leaders are subject to absolutely no higher supervision. We are prisoners of a post-colonial system which has bequeathed to our region a constitutional regime that vests absolute power in our Prime Ministers, Premiers, and Chief Ministers.
We all need to concentrate on how we introduce checks and balances into our constitutional arrangements.
