MPs undergo training to strengthen oversight of public resources

Former Finance Minister Carl Greenidge yesterday said that it is important that the National Assembly be poised to intelligently examine and effectively debate matters surrounding the accountability of the use of public resources and allegations of corruption in the procurement process.

“As accountability is looming increasingly large in the debate over the use of public resources and as the plague of corruption and inadequate safeguards in the arena of procurement displace other debates in the press, it is imperative that the National Assembly be in a position to mount intelligent examinations and effective debates into these matters,”
