**Prime Minister Gaston Browne Explains Delay in Filing Finances with Integrity Commissioner**<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Prime Minister Gaston Browne addressed concerns regarding the delayed filing of financial declarations with the Integrity Commissioner.<\/p>\n

Browne shed light on the issue, attributing the delay to logistical challenges faced by the Commissioner.<\/p>

Browne stated, “Within the last three years or so, there has been an issue in which the Commissioner has indicated he was not in a position to receive the Declarations. I guess he was moving office and so on too, so we just got declarations.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He further expressed hope that the Commissioner would circulate these declarations within the public sector, allowing for an update in the records.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister clarified that the delay was not due to any fault on their part, stating, “Through no fault of ours but prior, the answer is yes.”<\/p>

He illustrated this with an example from 2014 when he assumed office, mentioning that he had declared assets totaling around $30 million at the time, fulfilling his duty as required by law.<\/p>\n
