Attorney-at-law Deborah Backer yesterday described as a diversion, the imminent move by Prime Minister Sam Hinds to re-table a motion to have the National Assembly ensure that Members of Parliament submit annual declarations, in keeping with the requirements of the Integrity Commission Act.
Backer, who was at the time addressing members of the media during an APNU press conference, said that in response to a letter from Opposition Leader David Granger, the secretary of the commission had indicated that the commission’s life came to an end on May 28,
