The Cook Islands Party wants to make politicians and civil servants personally liable for the costs incurred by failed projects.
The country goes to the polls in five weeks and the Cook Islands Party is promising sweeping changes.
Its president, Henry Puna, says they want to broaden the economy and make the country one hundred percent reliant on renewable energy by 2020.
He also says the fiasco surrounding the failed Toa fuel tank farm, which cost taxpayers more than a million dollars shows the need for public service reform.
Mr Puna says the Cook Islands Party wants to make people handling public money personally accountable for it.
"In the real world you lose shareholders' funds you are personally accountable for it. Now we ask the question why should public money be any different from the practice we all accept as normal in the real world. It's that sort of thinking that we are wanting to introduce."
