REDACTED 2 - IC Petrojam Investigation - Recruitment and Parties October 18, 2019 final

Page 90 of 486 Petrojam Limited Integrity Commission October 2019 Q: In relation to the panel was there anybody who would have given you an indication as to the process that would be undertaken and how the process would be undertaken? A: So there was a brief prelude, I think, wherein it was explained. Q: Who did that explanation? A: I think it was Grindley who said we are the panel, we are going to interview some persons for this post. They were shortlisted, I believe; their credentials were checked and we just need to assess based on what they present and their CVs in an unbiased way. That was generally it. I don’t quite remember if anything else was said. I think they would just get our information, we would have a discussion and then they would decide internally. … Q: No external person came in to brief you about the process or the procedure or was that handled by the General Manager? Meaning, no other person walked into the room to say this is what we are going to do, here are the forms or anything? To the best of your recollection? A: Somebody came in, somebody else came in as you mentioned forms. I don’t remember if they were doing paper work, just bringing stuff. I don’t remember if they explained anything. I think somebody came in with forms or documents or CVs, I don’t remember but I really cannot remember.
