| File: Glady Gafoor takes the oath of office as a member of the Integrity Commission |
Gafoor, who is the Deputy Chairman of the Commission, has been suspended in accordance with the provisions of Section 136 of the Constitution.
The president also appointed a Tribunal to investigate complaints made by members of the Commission against Gafoor between March 15th 2010 to January 2012.
Justice Michael de la Bastide will chair the tribunal. Other members are Justice Humphrey Stollmeyer and Madame Justice Maureen Rajnauth Lee. Senior Counsel Reginald Armour will serve as for the tribunal.
A media release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Communication said the tribunal "is mandated with the utmost urgency and all appropriate dispatch, to report to and advise His Excellency on the facts found, whether such conduct and/or behaviour by Mrs. Gladys Gafoor constitutes conduct and/or misbehaviour within the meaning of the Integrity in Public Life Act, Chapter 22:01, as amended and in particular Section 8 (2) (d) and (e) thereof and of Section 136 (7) of the Constitution."
The Ministry said Gafoor will not perform the functions of the office of Member and Deputy Chairman of the Integrity Commission "without prejudice to her entitlement to her salary and emoluments in office."
