Submission from Mr Peter Williams, Turks
and Caicos Islands
I am hereby recommending that the Foreign Affairs
Select Committee enquire into the awarding of Government contracts
to Companies with some form of ownership by Government ministers.
— It is commonly said that the companies
paid millions of dollars in road building contracts, are owned
by ministers of government.
— Ministers should perhaps be made
to name all the companies in which they have any ownership, doing
so under oath in the event they are subsequently proved to be
purging themselves.
— There is reportedly the practice
by ministers of government using their cronies as surrogates for
the purpose of themselves benefiting from both public and private
contracts.
