Former Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Legal Affairs Ministry, Indira Anandjit said on Saturday that the non-renewal of her contract came as a shock particularly as a report by the Auditor General had exonerated her and she charged that a smokescreen was created by the Minister of Legal Affairs Basil Williams to have her removed.
”I am shocked at the way he has turned this into a big fiasco”, Anandjit who was appointed to the post in July 2012 said.
She was sent on 52 days of leave last December after it was discovered that millions of dollars in law books and computer parts could not be accounted for. An investigation by the Auditor General did not find her culpable in any way and it is for this reason she was surprised that her contract had not been renewed.
