Question NW2717 to the President of the Republic
09 October 2023 - NW2717
Alexander, Ms W to ask the President of the Republic
Whether he intends to sign a proclamation that extends the scope of the investigation of the Special Investigating Unit into alleged corruption in the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) to include investigation of procurement by the NLC; if not, why not; if so; on what date does he intend to sign a proclamation in this regard?
Reply:
I am advised that allegations relating to procurement irregularities and maladministration at the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) are currently undergoing the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) internal assessment processes.
Once the internal assessment processes are complete, the SIU will decide whether to submit a motivation to amend the scope of the proclamation.
