Questions have been raised in the media and by Members of the Opposition related to the acquisition of Kiddiewinks preschool announced in August as additional classroom space for Sir John A Cumber Primary School.
As Premier and leader of the NCFC Government, I hold myself to high levels of transparency and accountability. Therefore, in the interest of accountability and to lead by example, I have taken the proactive initiative this morning to ask the Honourable Attorney General to consider in keeping with paragraph 2.8 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct, whether there should be a formal referral of this matter to Her Excellency the Governor.
This step was relayed to Her Excellency the Governor and Ministers during Cabinet today.
I will provide further updates once the Attorney General’s review is complete.
