Cannan says minister's comments are a smokescreen
The chairman of Tynwald’s Public Accounts Committee says he’s worried government isn’t taking its responsibilities seriously when it comes to following financial rules.
This week, Alf Cannan MHK laid the committee’s report on silt dredging in Peel harbour before the court – saying there had been clear breaches of financial regulations.
But Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne said the report was politically motivated and hadn’t given his department a fair chance to defend itself.
Mr Cannan says that’s a smokescreen:
Peel Town Commissioners stands by claim that no vote took place over beach stage
Anger in Bride over proposed civic amenity site charges
New sanctions hoped to help disrupt major global criminal network
Western Civic Amenity Site to keep address checks in place after NCAS closure
