Minister of Legal Affairs Saddam Hosein yesterday described as “sheer incompetence or mismanagement” the fact that 18 State companies were operating in breach of the law by not filing their annual returns with the Companies’ Registry.

And two State companies had been struck off the Companies Registry because they had failed to file their annual return over a period exceeding three years.

Hosein shared the names of the State companies in breach of the law at yesterday’s post-Cabinet news conference at the Red House in Port of Spain.
