Prime Minister of Grenada Dr. Keith Mitchell
Prime Minister of Grenada Dr. Keith Mitchell is expected to be among witnesses summoned to testify in a financial wrongdoings and corrupt practices investigation into the Marketing and National Importing Board (MNIB).
The probe is being undertaken by the Office of Integrity Commission and Dr. Mitchell confirmed that he is prepared to be called as a witness.
As a state-owned enterprise, the MNIB falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, headed by Dr. Mitchell.
In July, Dr. Mitchell announced that Cabinet had endorsed a recommendation for a thorough investigation amid revelations of possible inappropriate use of MNIB funds.
Dr. Mitchell had also acknowledged that a lot had gone wrong at the MNIB and following the appointment of a new board in March, the then chief executive officer, Ruel Edwards, left his job for a new post within the Ministry of Economic Development.
Mr. Edwards has since been placed on leave by the Public Service Commission, the body that contracted him to the new post.
