The report on the Mahdia Secondary School female dormitory fire which claimed the lives of 20 students has been completed and will be submitted to President Irfaan Ali according to Secretary of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI), Javed Shadick.
Shadick told Stabroek News yesterday that the report was expected to be handed over to President Ali on Friday but was postponed to another date which is yet to be announced.
The Commission of Inquiry into the Mahdia fire concluded on November 9, with Counsel Keoma Griffith castigating Chief Fire Officer (ag) Gregory Wickham and former Regional Education Officer (ReDO) for Region Eight, Annesta Douglas, for their lack of urgency towards the dire need for fire prevention supplies at the Mahdia Secondary School dorm as was recommended in a fire inspection report by Sub-Officer Ryan Scott of the Mahdia Fire Station.
