We turn now to the Briceno Government's appointment of the new Integrity Commission.
After months of promises, the Briceno administration has recommended that Andrea Mcsweaney McKoy becomes the Chairperson of the Commission. Her fellow Commission members will be Katherine Meighan, Zoe Roberson Zetina, Ricardo Mogul, George Swift, Payal Ghanwani, and Jaraad Ysaguirre.
