Arguing that the Integrity Commission’s report into allegations of corruption and impropriety at the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) is being suppressed by the Parliament, Opposition Leader Mark Golding warned that this action was a strike against the country’s democracy and also good governance.

Golding remarks came last evening before members of the Opposition walked out of Parliament after acting speaker of the House Heroy Clarke refused to allow Westmoreland Eastern Member of Parliament Dr Dayton Campbell to ask questions regarding the non-tabling of the, which was sent to Parliament on March 30, this year.

“The whole purpose and objective of the Integrity Commission Act is thwarted and undermined if the investigative work of the IC, culminating in a report sent to Parliament, is not tabled on a timely basis. This is affecting the democracy of the country, its governance, and the public has a right to see it and we demand that it be tabled today,” Golding declared.
