The Integrity Commission (“The Commission”) is aware that a letter bearing the letterhead of the Commission and purporting to have been issued by the Commission captioned, “Investigation into alleged improper conduct of Mr. Trevor James in his capacity as Secretary for infrastructure, Quarries and Urban Development of the Tobago House of Assembly,” is being circulated in the public domain. The Commission advises that this letter is fraudulent and accordingly advises the public to disregard this letter and its contents.
The Commission notes with concern the unauthorised use of its letterhead as well as the use of an unauthorised signature purporting to be on behalf of the Acting Registrar. Please be advised that the named signatory is not and has never been a member of staff of the Commission.
The Commission works diligently to maintain its duty to stakeholders to act with confidentiality, professionalism and integrity. The Commission therefore condemns, in the strongest terms, the letter’s apparent intent to mislead the general public, and ultimately discredit the Commission. The Commission further requests that any unauthorised use of its letterhead and the issuance of fabricated documents purporting to be disseminated by the Commission cease with immediate effect.
