PORT OF SPAIN, T&T - Planning and Development Minister Pennelope Beckles has confirmed that she voted in support of an independent investigation regarding recent allegations involving the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Mauricio Claver-Carone.

By virtue of her recent ministerial appointment, Beckles is this country’s governor to the IDB, serving on the institution’s board of governors.

On Saturday night, in a statement in response to questions from the Express, Beckles said: “As a governor on the board of governors of the Inter-American Development Bank representing Trinidad and Tobago, I have voted in support of an independent investigation regarding recent allegations involving IDB president Mauricio Claver-Carone.

“The claims allude that certain behaviour attributed to President Claver-Carone seems to be in conflict with the ‘Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct’ of the IDB and I, along with the other governors on the board of governors, await the results of this decision.”
