Answer to Question #10

What is the Justice of the Peace’s ethical obligation concerning gifts and payment for ministerial services?

1. Payment may be accepted only if it is offered anonymously.
2. Gifts of a perishable nature may be accepted, but money must be donated. 
3. They must never seek or accept gifts, koha, or payment in return for services undertaken as a Ministerial Justice of the Peace. 
4. Payment is acceptable only for roles specified as paid, such as election duties.

Answer C Justices must never seek or accept gifts, koha, or payment in return for services undertaken as a Justice of the Peace.

Any implication that service will be given in exchange for goods or money is highly unethical.
