Contract for Legal Affairs Ministry’s PS not renewed

Indira Anandjit

The contract of Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Legal Affairs Ministry Indira Anandjit, who was sent on 52 days of leave last December after it was discovered that millions of dollars in law books and computer parts could not be accounted for, has expired and it has not been renewed, Attorney-General Basil Williams said yesterday.

Williams yesterday told a news conference that the Deputy PS Melissa Tucker has been acting in the post.

Last December, Williams had said that Anandjit was sent on leave to “facilitate the ongoing audit” into the disappearance of the law books and computer parts.
