THE Government has backtracked on its decision to launch an investigation into the conduct of Auditor General Jaiwantie Ramdass as part of a wider probe into the $2.6 billion understatement in the country’s 2023 financial accounts.

The Office of the Attorney General announced yesterday that pursuing that aspect of the investigation would provide no further information on what led to the understatement, given that the investigative committee has since completed its final report “which helpfully discloses what went wrong and satisfactorily explained the understatement”.

Lead attorney: Anand Ramlogan, SC
