A:
No. That's not what my supervisor told me to
do. I am acting on instructions.”

It is instructive to note that, based upon the disclosures made regarding the signing of “contracts” subsequent
to the completion of works, the Contractor General required that Ms. Althea Hall, the direct supervisor for
Ms. Janet Henry, be invited to join the proceedings, with a view to not only substantiate the representations
made by Ms. Henry, but to respond to questions relating to this practice. In this regard, the following
representations were made:
“
CHAIRMAN:
Madam Superintendent has entered the
room again. Madam, you are still under
the oath that you took earlier.
Who is the supervisor for Miss Henry?
MS. HALL:
I supervise Miss Henry.
CHAIRMAN:
This contract here, this contract form
that is used here where you set out
description of the work; on the back the
contractor signs; is that supposed to be
signed by the contractor before the work
is done to set out - sir/ madam, this is
the rate, this is the distance and you are
supposed to sign the contract before the
work start, ma'am
?
A:
Normally the contract is supposed to be
signed after the work is done
.
CHAIRMAN:
It's supposed to be signed after?
A:
Yes, after the work is done.
CHAIRMAN:
Not before?
A:
It shouldn't be signed before.
CHAIRMAN:
So how somebody can sign a contract
after them do the work? I don't
understand that.
