Georgetown : The absence of Commissioners at the Integrity Commission does not mean the structure of the body is not maintained, this is according to Government spokeman Dr. Roger Luncheon.
He explained that the commission’s functions are being upheld.
Dr Luncheon said that all the work of the commission is reposed on the staff of the commission, with guidance given by the commission. “The Integrity Commission Act makes provision for other agencies including the Auditor General, in the review of the submission made by those listed public officers in the schedule.”
He expressed bewilderment at the Opposition’s assessment that the absence of Commissioners or a Chairman equals the death of a Commission.
Dr. Luncheon claims that prior to beginning of the Parliamentary recess it was recognised that there may be significant merit in addressing issues that warranted the two sides getting together. However efforts to see through that initiative were unsuccessful, he explained.
