Integrity watchdog submits 4 more investigative reports to Parliament
Tamoy Ashman / Our Today
The country’s anti-corruption agency Integrity Commission says it completed four additional investigations and the reports, along with indicative rulings of the director of corruption prosecution, were submitted to Parliament on Tuesday for tabling.
The anti-corruption watchdog said the documents were formally received and signed for at the Parliament on Tuesday at 2:10 p.m.
Hard copies of the reports and rulings were also submitted in separate envelopes and addressed to Juliet Holness, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President of the Senate Tom Tavares-Finson, and Valrie Curtis, clerk of the House of Parliament.
“The Integrity Commission anticipates that its investigation reports, which were submitted pursuant to and in conformance with Section 54 of the Integrity Commission Act, together with the associated indicative rulings, will be tabled in both Houses of Parliament as soon as possible,” the anti-corruption body wrote.
The IC shared that last month it submitted four other investigative reports as well as indicative rulings to Parliament for tabling. However, these reports have not yet been tabled.
In a recent ruling by House Speaker Juliet Holness, she stated that reports submitted by the IC would not be delayed as they would be tabled in Parliament as soon as possible.
