Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Gail Teixeira has dismissed claims by the opposition APNU+AFC that the recent appointment of a special technical team to conduct a financial management review of key state agencies is part of a political witch-hunting exercise.
Responding to questions raised by the opposition about the four-man assessment team, Teixeira said in a Facebook video address that it is not conducting auditing duties and its members are working pro bono.
Noting much talk on social media about how much the team would be paid and concerns about the selection process and whether there was any tender and the like, Teixeira said that the team’s work is simply to help government assess “how bad or good things are in this country.”
