Darryl Smith investigation ongoing

THE committee appointed to investigate the dismissal of former sport minister Darryl Smith’s personal assistant, Carrie-Ann Moreau and a settlement paid to her, is still continuing its investigation.

Speaking in the Senate earlier this week, Sports Minister Shamfa Cudjoe reiterated that the committee, appointed in April by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, submitted its report to him on June 4.

Consistent with the principles of natural justice, Cudjoe said the people affected by the findings of the report are being given a chance to respond to those findings.

The committee is reached out to these people. Cudjoe said information which the committee receives will be sent to the Public Service Commission, “for further information and action if necessary.” On June 19, Finance Minister Colm Imbert said there will be no premature publication of the committee’s report.
