Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon yesterday offered support for a “policy on gifting” in public office even as he accused the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic of hypocrisy over their public condemnation of former Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson.
“I think there should be a clear policy…I trust in the fullness of time with the strengthening of our democracy we are able to have clear guidelines on gifts and to what extent you can receive gifts in public office and what ought to be done with gifts above a certain level when you leave that public office,” Harmon told a virtual press conference yesterday.
