"The Integrity Commission is one of the teacher's demands during their strike. How do you all separate the pressure that was put from the teachers in moving forward to this process and also the importance of actually creating a committee or a body in terms of this entire process, not separating the 2?"

Marilyn Williams, Chairperson
"For this I have to be fair to the Prime Minister because I said to you before when we won the election before this last November, he had in fact tried his best and it was at that point that I was to chair the commission. I wouldn't want anyone to run away with the idea that he never had any intention to do it. yes, I will accept that given what came out of the union and the discussions with the Prime Minister, perhaps what it did was propelled a wider interest because I would want to think that when people at large heard, the reason why commission wasn't formed was because we couldn't find anyone who was willing to commit to being a member, maybe it gave them the impetus as to say 'ok then yeah I will,' but I would not want us to walk away with the impression that the only reason why the Prime Minister did it is because the union demanded it because I would flatly rebuke that."

As we told you there are 7 members of the commission. Marilyn Williams is the Chairman, and the members include Armead Gabourel, Wilmot Simmons, Lisbeth Delgado, Nestor Vasquez, Melissa Balderamos Mahler and Claudet Grinage. As you heard, the financial obligations are to submitted in March. The commission held its first meeting today; it was a closed door session, and we'll keep following up on their work.
