AG: Lucky report on UDeCOTT in 2 weeks


The report of Justice Anthony Lucky into the non-gazetting of the Commission of Enquiry into UDeCOTT and the construction sector would be available in two weeks time, Attorney General John Jeremie told the Parliament yesterday.

He was speaking during debate on the Validation and Immunity Bill. But, in response to questions from Siparia MP, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Jeremie refused to say whether he had gotten an interim report.

Persad-Bissessar said every Commission of Enquiry is gazetted by the Secretary to the Cabinet and therefore the UNC was of the view that the Cabinet was negligent in this matter.

She also spoke of ’wrongdoing’ by Independent Senator and UDeCOTT director Michael Annisette and its executive chairman Calder Hart based on an e-mail she received from John Peters, who was involved in a UDeCOTT project.

Calling for the UDeCOTT board to be fired, Persad-Bissessar asked whether UDeCOTT was carrying any secrets for the Government.

She said the UNC supported the bill in principle but wanted the Attorney General to give a clear undertaking that the Commission’s Report would be tabled, and that a criminal investigation would be pursued based on the evidence that is already in the public domain.

Earlier House Speaker Barry Sinanan allowed debate as a definite matter of urgent public importance, a motion to discuss the ’horrific’ conditions of migrant Chinese workers. But he denied debate on a motion to discuss the latest outbreak of the swine flu virus which has caused four deaths.
