THA Minority Leader Calls For Audit Report To Be Made Public

Tobago House of Assembly Minority Leader Kelvon Morris is calling on the Chief Secretary Farley Augustine make public the findings of the THA-commissioned audit report.

During this week’s plenary sitting in the Assembly Legislature, Mr Augustine said the report of the audit – ordered in January 2022- into five initiatives undertaken during the term of the former PNM-led THA administration had been completed.

The Chief Secretary said information on offences identified in the report has been sent to the Commissioner of Police, Fraud Squad, Financial Intelligence Unit, Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau and the Director of Public Prosecutions.

He however, noted that the report will not be made available to the Prime Minister and Minority Leader; adding that fellow assemblymen have not seen the report either.

Morris opines the Chief Secretary is using the audit as a lifeline.
