THE Trinidad and Tobago Transparency Institute (TTTI) has expressed strong opposition to the recent decision to re-align the Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau (ACIB) under the Office of the Attorney General, arguing that the move undermines public trust and may introduce political interference in anti-corruption investigations.

The ACIB was moved to the TT Police Service’s purview in 2019 after calls by DPP Roger Gaspard and the TTTI for the change.

However, government moved the ACIB back under the AG’s purview amid gazetted changes to some ministers’ responsibilities a week ago.
