PNP wants probe into whether CMU related documents were destroyed at Ministry of Education

The opposition People’s National Party (PNP) is calling for an investigation to ascertain whether crucial documents at the Ministry of Education were destroyed in a bid to impede investigations at the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU). 

The party is claiming that it has “credible information” concerning important documents possibly being destroyed in order to thwart investigators.

PNP General Secretary Julian Robinson made that call for a probe at a media briefing at the party’s headquarters Tuesday morning.

He said it was important “to determine whether critical documents at the Ministry of Education were either shredded or burnt during the week of March 25^th 2019, the week after Minister Ruel Reid would have been fired.”

He said the probe should also determine “whether the activities by officials in that ministry would constitute a criminal offence under the Corruption Prevention Act.”
