Former Acting Permanent Secretary in the Education Ministry, Dr. Grace Mclean has been interdicted.

Dr. Mclean was sent on leave last October amid a damning report from the Auditor General’s Department into the affairs of the Joint Committee for Tertiary Education (JCTE).

According to the Auditor General’s report, approximately 124 million dollars that was given to the JCTE by the Education Ministry could not be accounted for” and was deemed as a “loss of government funds”.

Dr. Mclean’s Attorney, Queen’s Counsel Peter Champagnie told Irie Fm News that his client received a letter from the government last evening (January 19) advising of the interdiction.
