CALL FOR IC SHIFT - Samuda proposes FID takes over review of MPs’ financial filings

Government Minister Matthew Samuda has floated a recommendation for the Financial Investigations Division (FID) to be given the mandate to review or examine the statutory declarations of members of parliament (MPs) instead of the Integrity Commission (IC).Samuda, a member of the Integrity Commission Oversight Committee (ICOC), pitched the idea during a meeting of the body on Thursday.“… If you are providing oversight, your files should, perhaps, go through the director of information to be reviewed at FID, not at the same entity that you are providing oversight for,” he said.
