Charles writes Transparency International demanding probe into Balisier House funding

UNC MP Rodney Charles has written Transparency International seeking their assistance in demanding that an investigation be done into the funding of the People’s National Movement’s new Balisier House headquarters.

Charles said, “While such sensitive content need not be shared with the public, the TTPS, FIU and Counter Trafficking Unit must be provided with the relevant information to ensure that proceeds from human trafficking and money laundering aren’t part of Balisier House construction funding.

“It’s time. Nigel Stoddard, Acting Director of the FIU, Dr Samantha Chaitram, Director of the CTU and CoP Erla Christopher follow the money and determine once and for all who really funded Balisier House. If PM Keith Rowley has nothing to hide, he should have no problem providing the list of donors immediately.

“We hope Transparency International can use its powers and encourage T&T’s investigative bodies to conduct a thorough investigation.”
