I should not be held responsible

Nov 27, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
I hereby reply to an article captioned “Contractors walked away with $$M for incomplete works in Region One,  which appeared in KN dated Friday November 23rd, 2012,as  follows:
Your newspaper has stated my name which gives the impression that I was solely accountable for awarding contracts and overpayment of contractors for 2011 or at the time.
The Auditor General’s Report states the Head of the Budget Agency, and the name of the officer is not stated.
For correction/clarification be informed that between January to May  2011 , I proceeded on Annual Vacation Leave and thereafter took up a transfer out of the Region, so I cannot be held accountable for the implementation and conclusion of contracts in Region One for 2011.
Is the person(s) who provided my name to your newspaper suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or just plain wicked?
Mary Williams
