Treasury Minister Senator Philip Ozouf is to face a "vote of censure."


The Press Release (below) has been issued by Senator Sarah Ferguson and Deputy Roy Le Herissier. 


PRESS RELEASE.


"Because of considerable concerns amongst both the public and members as to the sequel to the CAG's Reports on "Golden Handshakes" and Limegrove, a group of members intend to call for a Vote of Censure against the Treasury Minister.


Of particular concern is that Reports from an Independent Officer of the States have been very selectively interpreted, summarily dismissed in certain quarters and the conclusion hurriedly reached that the Minister should not be held to account because he had been operating under stress and was not properly trained.To say the least, these are questionable interpretations of the actions of the Minister.


Unfortunately, the States has a justifiable reputation for not holding people to account and the position of the Council of Ministers will simply reinforce that view.
There are sufficient signatures to proceed with a Proposition, hopefully followed by a debate on June 26th." (END)
