Integrity Commission’s extended deadline for submissions expires

The December 31st 2022 extension for the submission of declarations by persons in public life to the Integrity Commission has expired and it is unclear how many the watchdog body has  received thus far.

The Sunday Stabroek reached out to the Integrity Commission for this information and it replied, through its Secretary, Dr. Amanda Singh, that, “The Office of the Integrity Commission acknowledges receipt of your email with thanks. Please note, a response to your questions will be forthcoming at a later date”.  The members of the Integrity Commission, who were sworn in on May 31st last year after a lengthy delay, are Dr. Kim Kyte-Thomas, Mohamed Ispahani Haniff, Hardesh Tewari and Wayne Bowman. Business executive Chandra Gajraj is the Chair of the Commission. The Board of the previous Integrity Commission expired on February 21, 2021.
