The recently conducted Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March unrest at the Georgetown Prison had a price tag of approximately $13M, Minister of State Joseph Harmon revealed on Wednesday.
Responding to a question on the issue during a post-cabinet press briefing he said “it would have costed us somewhere in the vicinity of about $13M”.
Since the APNU+AFC Coalition government took office a number of CoIs and Boards of Inquiry (BoIs) have been established. Concerns have been raised that such inquiries would bring with them heavy price tags.
