PM says she has no quarrel with Integrity Commission

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar says she has “no quarrel” with the Integrity Commission after it wrote President George Maxwell Richards seeking its support following open criticism from the head of the coalition government in Trinidad and Tobago.
In a statement, the Commission made reference to remarks by Prime Minister Persad Bissessar that it had “an appearance of bias” as she campaigned on behalf of the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) during the just concluded Tobago House of assembly (THA) elections.
The Commission said “it views this statement with regret. Such comment is not consistent with the truth” and that “it must be emphasised that it is not, nor has it ever been, the Commission's practice to announce any matters which are under investigation by the Commission”.
