“It’s no surprise.” – P.M. on B.S.I.’s Position

Prime Minister John Briceño has also chimed in on B.S.I.’s firmly held position that it will not surrender confidential company documents to the commission.  He says that it comes as no surprise; however, the commissioners that are empanelled are aptly qualified to carry out the inquiry into the sugar industry.

“Well I think any private company can make whatever statement they believe is in their interest and they’ve been saying it from day one that certain information they are not going to or are not prepared to provide.  So it’s no surprise.  What is important though is that the commissioners that we got are highly qualified and they are very skilled in what they are doing and they believe that they will be able to come up with a report within the allotted, I think it’s six months.  They believe that they can do it before then.”
