The Joint Parliamentary Committee investigating various issues of misprocurement and mismanagement of public resources has completed its inquiry.

The joint committee winded up its investigations on Friday where it summoned its co-chairperson, Sameer Suleman as the last stakeholder.

In an interview, the joint committee’s co-chairperson Gladys Ganda said the two-week inquiry has been impressive and the Committee has managed to establish facts behind a number of discussed issues.

“All in all what I can say is that its been impressive, the stakeholders have appeared before the Committee, those that we had agreed to interview, I am aware that others didn’t appear because of other challenges.

“It’s clear that the issues had to be inquired upon because we have received information that we didn’t know if we had not done the inquiry itself,” said Ganda.

Speaking after appearing before the joint committee, Suleman said he deliberately recused himself from presiding over the inquiry in order to give his side of the procurement story.

“I recused myself because I wanted the Committee to continue with its progress, otherwise it would be jeopardising the work of the Committee.

“And I availed myself to give my side of the story on the issues I was mentioned like that of Egypt and the issue to do with tarnishing the former minister’s name, both the issues weren’t corrected,” maintained Suleman.

The joint committee is expected to present the investigative report in Parliament during the forthcoming sitting of the House scheduled for commencement next week.
