Henry Charles Usher, Minister of Public Service
"It is concerning. I saw it in the media and I believe that an investigation is going to commence in the Ministry of Sustainable Development very soon and I am hoping that investigation can be done very quickly and that we get a report at the Ministry of Public Service going forward.
