Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira has disclosed that the process of installing a new Integrity Commission board has commenced and she is hopeful that new members will be appointed shortly.
Teixeira made this known during the consideration of the estimates for the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance on Wednesday after opposition Member of Parliament (MP) Ganesh Mahipaul, asked whether a commission is in place since just over $69.2 million had been allocated for the Integrity Commission.
The Minister noted that the Integrity Commission board expired on February 21 but the process to appoint a new board has commenced. She expressed the hope that this would be done within a short period of time.
