Member of Parliament George Pantophlet said he had asked Minister of Finance Hiro Shigemoto what he thought should be the actual budget of the Corporate Governance Council (CGC). The Minister had said that Government could only make suggestions and at present the Budget for the Corporate Governance Council had not been approved because certain queries had not been answered. This has triggered the Member of Parliament George Pantophlet to ask the following questions: 1) To Whom and when did Government make these queries? 2) How were these queries made verbally or in written form? 3) If they were made verbally to whom were they made? 4) And if they were in written form can the Member please be provided with a copy? 5) If copy cannot be provided then why not? And finally in one of the Daily Newspapers of December 2011, A statement in reference to the Corporate Governance Council on the matter of a national decree was made. I believe it was by the Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams and I quote: "To regulate the situation, a new national decree for the Corporate Governance Council needs to be established by Government. Wescot-Williams expect this shortly," end of quote. This statement was made almost 2 months ago. My question to the Prime Minister is what is happening with the new national decree? Because shortly cannot mean 2 months and counting.
