Piarco Probe Phase Two

NO evidence was yesterday taken at the Commission of Inquiry into the Piarco airport development project because of the death of one of the attorneys father and the failure of a witness to appear.  Scheduled to appear yesterday were Deputy Registrar Francis Sandy, the Ministry of Works and Transport client representative Peter Cateau and former Airports Authority (AA) Security Manager, Dennis John.

John however failed to show up on a summons which was served on him last Friday. He was to be questioned by the Commission’s lead attorney Theodore Guerra, SC. John’s attorney Sean Cazabon also failed to appear. Cazabon was supposed to question Cateau based on evidence Cateau gave relating to John. Sandy was advised to return today because Margaret Rose, one of the Commission’s attorney who was leading evidence from him, was absent yesterday due to the funeral of her father who died last week. The inquiry will resume today at 9.30 am.
