(Trinidad Express) – Eleven months after the debacle that saw the mass resignation of the newly-appointed Integrity Commission (IC) members, President Max Richards is ready to swear in his new picks.
Word of the swearing-in ceremony came not from a dispatch from President’s House, but in a letter to a judge about to deliver a ruling in a case in which the State was sued over the President’s failure to appoint a new commission.
The letter, dated Thursday, came from the Attorney General’s Chief State Solicitor’s Department and addressed to Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh.
President Richards had been delayed by difficulties in finding a fifth commissioner–a chartered accountant.
