Chaguanas Mayor Gopaul Boodhan says he plans to file his financial documents with the Integrity Commission in the shortest possible time.
Boodhan made the comment during a tree planting exercise at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation yesterday,in response to questions over his name appearing on a list of public officials who had failed to declare their assets for several years.
The list was published on Wednesday and included several other public officials.
Boodhan said, “I got caught up doing the work of the people and the community, I would like to apologise for that. I have written to the Integrity Commission about two weeks ago, indicating that these documents will be filed in a timely manner to bring it up to date.”
On another note, the mayor said he wants to see more burgesses get involved in home gardening.
