Dear Editor,
I wish to draw your attention to an article dated February 27, and published on page 8 of SN under the caption ‘Arrest warrant out for Region Four REO,’ which stated that your paper was reliably informed that the Chairman of Region 4, Mr C Corlette was forced “to call in the Auditor General to conduct a probe after certain difficulties arose.”
I wish to state that the investigation currently being carried out by the Auditor General into alleged financial irregularities by Region 4 personnel was done on my explicit instructions and I have since received a preliminary report.
Any other suggestion and/or impression being given by anyone else could have implications since the investigation is being based on information provided by me and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development.
Yours faithfully,
Kellawan Lall
Minister
