Commission of Inquiry into Fire Sale of Government Asset to Commence
The selling off of public assets at a steal by the financially-burdened Barrow administration in the months leading up to the November eleventh general elections will be fully investigated. This morning, the persons tasked with carrying out that investigation were sworn in at the Biltmore Hotel where the oath of office was administered by Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford. The three-member Commission of Inquiry is being chaired by Senior Counsel Andrew Marshalleck. Marcello Blake and Luke Martinez are representing the business community and unions, respectively. The period under review is from 2019 to 2020 when government vehicles, office equipment and furniture were sold at dirt cheap prices. News Five’s Isani Cayetano reports.
