The Congress of the People has called on the Prime Minister to immediately make public the findings into the Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector which was handed over to the President by Professor John Uff on Monday morning.
COP made the call in a media release shortly after Uff handed the document to the president.
The party noted that the chairman of the inquiry told reporters that in other countries, it is up to a Commission of any Enquiry to make its findings available to the public.
It said, "Unfortunately, in Trinidad and Tobago, it is up to the Prime Minister to make public" the findings of the inquiry.
COP also suggested that evidence given during the Commission of Enquiry could be used by the police and the Director of Public Prosecution to pursue investigations.
"The Commissioner of Police and the Director of Public Prosecution now stand accused by the people of Trinidad & Tobago of dragging their feet with regard to their investigations and possible prosecutions," the party said in a media release.
"The Congress of the People now calls on said authorities to act with an appropriate sense of urgency if they are to recover the trust and confidence of the citizens of this country."
