Government: Paria CoE To Be Provided With Supplies Today

By Newsroom

The Commission of Enquiry set up to investigate the Paria diving incident will be provided with all administrative materials needed to carry out their work by latest, this morning.

This assurance from Communications Minister Symon De Nobriga, comes on the heels of the Commission’s Chairman, Jerome Lynch, Queens Counsel,  revealing on Wednesday that they were without basic tools to perform their duties, such as pens, paper and internet.

Mr. De Nobriga addressed the matter during Thursday’s Post Cabinet media briefing at the Diplomatic Centre in St. Ann’s.

The Communications Minister said his focus wasn’t to ascribe blame to any agency at this point, but rather to have the matter rectified.

“I don’t want to focus on the matter of blame. But I can tell you I’ve spoken to the persons who were responsible for delivering and there were a few things addressed.

“One of a few issues that were raised – stationary – it’s my understanding that will be delivered to them (CoE), if not today (Thursday), by first thing in the morning (Friday).

“The issue of workstations is currently being addressed as far as I’ve been informed today. The issue of Internet connection, as far as I’ve been informed today, was originally carded to be completed tomorrow (Friday). It’s being fast-tracked, to be addressed today,” he said.
