The T&T Transparency Institute (TTTI) and the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce are both pleased with the manner in which Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar handle the Mary King matter.
In a statement TTTI said: “We trust that this is one step in a comprehensive range of investigations that would establish if other persons should be held accountable for not discharging their duties properly in this matter.
“We also hope if it is established any laws have been broken, due process will be quickly implemented and the appropriate sanctions carried out.”
The Chamber's statement spoke about the need for transparency.
“The chamber subscribes to the belief that at all times transparency of the tendering process and observance of the rules of good governance are paramount and must prevail.
“This includes the basic and time-worn standard of self-disqualification from the performance of any function whatsoever regarding the tender, selection and award of contract for anyone with an interest in the transaction.”
And the President of the Point Lisas Chamber of Commerce, Nal Ramsingh, was also supportive.
“The Prime Minister has made the best decision by asking the President to revoke her appointment as minister,” he said.
He noted King's own anti-corruption campaigns. "She has been involved in transparency for years and so knows what should or should not be done,” he said.
