Minister George: Nuts, bolts for T&TEC cost $5.9m
The findings of the audit report into the streetlighting project of the T&T Electricity Commission (T&TEC) may not have been handed over to the Attorney General (AG) as was stated by Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, former Public Utilities minister in 2009. Abdul-Hamid had said in October 2009 that the report was referred to the AG “for his attention, consideration and action.” Speaking at yesterday’s post-Cabinet press conference, Public Utilities Minister Emmanuel George said, “The then minister indicated he had sent the report to the AG, however, we have not been able to find no correspondence in the ministry via which that report was conveyed to the AG,” George said.
