Sandals Whitehouse Hotel Investigation
Report / Public Accounts Committee Hearings

The Office of the Contractor General (OCG) concluded its Special Investigation into the Sandals Whitehouse Hotel Project in June of 2006.

Pursuant to Section 28 of the Contractor General Act, copies of the Report were conveyed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President of the Senate on July 12, 2006, with a request that they be tabled in Parliament. The OCG was advised that the Report was tabled in the House of Representatives on July 18, 2006 and in the Senate on July 20, 2006.

Arising out of the OCG's investigation and another investigation which was conducted by a Government appointed Forensic Audit team into the Project, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament took a decision to conduct formal hearings into the matter.

At its second, third and fourth hearings, which were convened on September 19, September 26 and October 3, 2006 respectively, the PAC heard submissions from the Contractor General. Six (6) documents were formally tabled by the Contractor General with the PAC during the referenced submissions (See documents listed below with an asterisk in their labels).

Additionally, the OCG prepared and submitted to Parliament, on November 10, 2006, an Addendum to its Report of Investigation into the Sandals Whitehouse Hotel Project. The OCG was advised that the Addendum was tabled in the House of Representatives on November 21, 2006 and in the Senate on November 24, 2006.

The OCG believes that it is imperative, in the public interest, that these documents, together with other OCG related correspondence which have been otherwise made public, are placed in one grouping on the OCG websites.
