Minister of State Joseph Harmon said on Thursday that the search is on for the “ghost” who provided information to this newspaper that Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Presidency Omar Shariff was sent on leave over his discovery of a massive fraud.
“In fact, I spoke to Mr Shariff at 7.45 this morning and he did say that he never made such a statement to anybody. So that we would have to get this ghost writer who has given that information but certainly that is Mr Shariff’s statement to me as of this morning,” Harmon said during a post-Cabinet press briefing. Harmon had earlier denied that Shariff made any fraud report to him.
