COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY INTO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
PRESS RELEASE
The Commissioners of the Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector, Mr. Kenneth Sirju, Mr. Desmond Thornhill and Professor John Uff QC, (Chairman) note with regret that Mr. Israel Khan SC has offered his resignation to His Excellency the President. Mr. Khan’s decision was entirely his own and the other Commissioners were not made aware of his intention to do so.
They remain appreciative of the contribution that Mr. Khan has made to the
Enquiry but understand the reasons which have led to his resignation and regret his departure before the Commission has completed its enquiry.
The remaining Commissioners intend to continue and to complete the remaining hearing in accordance with the timetable namely 7th – 12th September 2009.
The Commissioners have not yet begun to formulate their conclusions and therefore the report to be submitted to His Excellency the President will be that of the remaining Commissioners only, i.e. - Mr. Kenneth Sirju, Mr. Desmond Thornhill and Professor John Uff QC, (Chairman).
