President fends off WPA criticism over local gov’t commission

The coalition government has not failed to establish the Local Government Commission (LGC), according to President David Granger who said yesterday that efforts are being made to get the body up and running in the shortest possible time.

“We have not failed. We are working on that. We are working on the early establishment of that commission. As you know we have done a lot of work this year to ensure that the judicial institutions are well staffed…the public service appellate tribunal, the ombudsman”, he said in response
