Govt playing with PAC report ‘like cat playing with mouse’ – Edmund G. Maduro
Speaking on his EGM radio show aired last Thursday July 10, 2014 on ZROD 103.7 FM, Maduro chided the Government for not treating the PAC report with the importance it warrants, given the seriousness of the findings contained therein with regards to the Cruise Pier Development Project.
The radio commentator said that during his upcoming shows he will be going through each and every section of the PAC final report so that the public gains a greater understanding of the issue.
“The Public Accounts Committee is put in place to examine Government’s operations and it will in fact report to the House of Assembly,” he said.
“This is an important constitutional measure that is being played with like a cat playing with a mouse,” said Maduro. “It is a very important document and I am so sick as a person to see the House is dealing with the Public Accounts Committee report on the cruise ship dock so irresponsibly,” he said.
The PAC in its report made allegations of the breaking of laws of the Virgin Islands in which it stated on page 31, 1 in the summary that “the government spent two years and countless resources engaging processes that were contrary to Public Financial Management Regulations, in contravention of the BVI Ports Authority Act, non-transparent and untenable.”
The PAC in its report also blasted the Minister for Communications and Works Honourable Mark H. Vanterpool for what it described as his “failure to confer with the Authority on the Cruise Ship Port Project”…as a result this “led to a costly redesign for the Government and the Authority in terms of time and resources.”
