Premier Michael Dunkley has ordered the setting up of a Commission of Inquiry to investigate concerns raised recently in a report by the Auditor-General over the handling of taxpayers’ money under the previous administration.

The body will be appointed by mid-January and the four-strong team will look at how the consolidated fund was managed for the financial years ending March 31 in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Describing the findings of Heather Jacobs Matthews’s latest Auditor-General report as “disturbing”, Michael Dunkley said yesterday that he hoped the move would “break the back of bad habits”.
