Report on CANU inquiry might not be released due to sensitive contents – Harmon

Minister of State Joseph Harmon yesterday signaled that the report of the inquiry into the corruption allegations made against officials of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) by self-confessed drug lord Barry Dataram may not be made public as was initially stated, because of the sensitive information it contains.

Responding to questions during a post-Cabinet press briefing, Harmon said that the release of the report is the Minister of Public Security’s call. However, he said that the sensitive information that the document contains could “affect the reputations of persons who are currently in office.”
