The president of Trinidad and Tobago, George Maxwell Richards, has denied a request by Minister of Works and Transport and United National Congress (UNC) chairman Jack Warner to revoke the appointment of Dr Eric St Cyr as chairman of the Integrity Commission.
In a letter to Warner on Wednesday, the president expressed confidence that the Commission would discharge its responsibilities according to the law in accordance with the tenets of fairness and justice.
Warner’s call stemmed from statements uttered by St Cyr in response to calls for the prime minister to be investigated by the Commission for staying at the home of the Gopauls in Tunapuna following her assumption to office as prime minister after the 2010 General Election.
