Singh to give Lindquist evidence today

CANADIAN forensic investigator Bob Lindquist and officers of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) will meet with Opposition Chief Whip Ganga Singh at Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday’s Port-of-Spain office today at midday.

At this meeting, Singh is expected to turn over information in his possession regarding alleged corruption at the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA). Singh yesterday indicated that he had been contacted by ACB Supt Maurice Piggott who said Lindquist and a team of ACB officers would meet with him at Panday’s office. The Chief Whip had previously written to Police Commissioner Hilton Guy requesting a meeting with Lindquist and the ACB.

In a related story former PNM MP Dr Joe Laquis, whose name has been called in the alleged WASA corruption, has been turned down by both the PNM and the UNC following his request to be appointed a senator for a day so that he could clear his name.
