Senior government ministers Khemraj Ramjattan and Cathy Hughes up to Friday afternoon were yet to file their declarations to the Integrity Commission pursuant to the Integrity Commission Act, almost a month after an extended deadline.
Both ministers made the admission during an Alliance for Change (AFC) press conference on Friday. Hughes, the Minister of Public Telecommunications, said that she is late because she was awaiting documents she received on Thursday. She indicated that she would be filing her declaration later Friday afternoon.
Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, who was also in attendance, disclosed that he has already made his declarations, but said that he has been asked to provide further particulars. The need for further particulars, he said, is due to the odd time at which the commission’s year ends.
