Leader of the Opposition David Granger yesterday told the media that none of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)’s Members of Parliament will be declaring their assets to the Integrity Commission until it is equipped with a Chairman.
In a published advertisement in this newspaper on August 20, the Integrity Commission called on all public officers who are required by law, to submit their 2014 declaration forms to the Office of the Integrity Commission.
It sought to remind that the closing date for submission is on Friday August 22. It reminded too, that all defaulting public officials are to submit their outstanding declaration forms from1997 to 2013 to the Commission as soon as possible.
It added that failure to file a declaration with the Commission is an offence according to the Commission’s Act and is subject to Section 22 of the said Act.
The Commission said that declarants are also advised to attach supporting documents for the information provided in their declaration forms.
At his weekly press conference yesterday, Granger was questioned as to when his party members will be making their declarations.
The politician then questioned the name of the Chairman of the Commission and when the reporter responded in the negative Granger said, “Me neither.”
He told the reporter that if the Commission never gets a Chairman the APNU will never make submissions.
Granger emphasized, “When there is an appointment of a chairman to a properly constituted Integrity Commission, only then will the APNU members declare their assets.
Some public officials had told this newspaper that they view the call by the Integrity Commission for the declaration of assets from 1997 to 2013 as a mere joke.
