President appointing new Integrity Commission on Monday

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.
