Conflicts of Interest Act

The Conflicts of Interest Act is a law designed to prevent situations where a person's private interests might improperly influence their professional actions, particularly in public service. It requires officials to disclose any personal, financial, or other interests that could conflict with their duties. The aim is to ensure transparency, integrity, and public trust by reducing the risk of corruption or favoritism. Essentially, this law helps ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of the public rather than for personal gain.
