JACK IN A CORNER…… Integrity Commission says ministers must divest private interests

Trinidad Express

The Integrity Commission says it could give no ruling on the matter of Works Minister Jack Warner also holding the post of FIFA vice-president, but noted yesterday Cabinet ministers must divest their private interests.

Warner, who has been a member of the FIFA executive committee since 1983, was sworn in as this country’s Works and Transport Minister two Fridays ago.

The possibility of Warner’s two portfolios being a conflict of interest was raised by Rowley last Friday and culminated in an official letter being sent to Integrity Committee chairman Eric St Cyr, seeking advice on the situation.
