The Guam Ethics Commission Begins Receiving Ethics Complaints

The Guam Ethics Commission is pleased to announce that members in the community can now file ethics complaints with the Commission. The Commission was empaneled for the first time in the summer of 2019, with the first members named and subsequently confirmed by the Guam Legislature. Following their confirmation, the Commission focused on setting up the office infrastructure and securing adequate resources to begin accepting complaints. This included recruiting and training staff, working out complaint handling protocols, and seeking enhancements to the Guam code concerning ethics to strengthen the Commission's independence.

The mission of the Ethics Commission is to uplift the public’s confidence in government employees, programs, and operations by ensuring the practice and promotion of the highest standards of ethical behavior in the Government of Guam. The Commission takes all allegations about ethics violations seriously and encourages anyone possessing information about an Employee’s violation of the Standards of Conduct (the “Ethical Standards”) to file a complaint with the Commission.

Violation of the Standards of Conduct include: gifts, gifts disclosure, conflicts of interest, use of confidential information, unfair treatment, government contracts, post employments restrictions, and failing to file certain Guam Election Commission reports with the Guam Ethics Commission.

Persons interested in filing a complaint, or who would like to receive more information about the complaint process are encouraged to contact the Guam Ethics Commission at (671) 969-5625 or [email protected].
