Graham Hampson has been appointed as the new chair of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for a three-year term.
He brings extensive experience as a barrister in the Cayman Islands with expertise in criminal law to the role, which took effect on 25 February.
In a press release on 6 March, Governor Jane Owen said: “His leadership will be instrumental as the commission continues to advance its important work and strengthen the culture of integrity that supports good governance across the Cayman Islands.”
Hampson was called to the Cayman Islands Bar in January 1987 and has 35 years plus of experience specifically in Cayman.
From the outset of his career, he developed a wide-ranging litigation-based practice, the press release said.
His experience includes appearances before all levels of courts and tribunals, including some matters that proceeded to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London.
The mission of the ACC is to sustain public confidence in the integrity and good governance of Cayman’s government and public institutions.
It aims to enhance the jurisdiction’s stability, prosperity and reputation through fair and effective anti-corruption investigations.
