The Opposition has noted the stories in the press regarding a report by the OAG which was leaked to the media. This leak was regrettable and was a deplorable attempt to pervert the course of justice.

We are eager for the full facts to be known to the public but, in the interim, will respect the position taken by the Governor and Deputy Governor that in the interest of an ongoing inquiry, they will refrain from discussing the matter.

We in the Opposition also respect the ongoing inquiry process and so will also refrain from discussing the report at present. We encourage the speedy conclusion of the inquiry and look forward to its work being published.
