Am I expecting too much from the Minister of Finance?

May 21, 2013 | By KNews | Filed Under Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I am shocked at the irony of our erstwhile Minister of Finance accusing the AFC of being shamelessly irresponsible in demanding, among other things, the appointment of a Public Procurement Commission in return for supporting the Anti-Money Laundering Bill.
I am shocked because as Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh should be at the forefront in demanding transparency, accountability and financial propriety. What message is he sending by opposing the appointment of the Commission? Dr. Singh should have been demanding of his Govt. that the Commission be appointed. It is in his and the people’s interest for there to be less corruption.
Or am I expecting too much from the Minister of Finance?
