President David Granger has commissioned a Board of Inquiry (BoI) to investigate alleged misconduct by staff of the Department of Public Service.

According to an announcement that was made yesterday by the Ministry of the Presidency, Minister of State Dawn Hastings-Williams has presented the Instrument of Appointment to Lance Carberry, who will be heading the BoI. Carberry has been given one week to present his findings to President Granger.

The statement came hours after Director-General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon told a post-Cabinet press briefing that three workers, who are contracted employees, had been sent on administrative leave pending the outcome of the inquiry.
