Which Audit at Office of Music Ambassador? Faber Says There’s None

Patrick Faber

It has been reported across the media that an audit was to be conducted on the office of the music ambassador, Shyne Barrow. It was Barrow who first spoke out publicly against NICH President Sapna Budhrani.  So when information got out about an audit at his office, it was seen as a deliberate reaction to the son of the Prime Minister. At a press conference held on Thursday by the Ministry of Education, Culture Minister Patrick Faber said that he was not aware of any audit being done on the Office of the Music Ambassador, unless the then internal auditor would have targeted Barrow next.

“I don’t know of any such audit. I don’t know where that come from. I think I read that in your newscast that we sent for the computer from Mister Matus because we were trying to do some audit, which is not the case. By the way, I am told that indeed the computer for Mister Matus was…the way I understand it, he complained about not being able to access emails. When they asked him to turn in the computer so that the IT technician can check it, he sent the laptop and when the laptop came to NICH, it was erased clean. But I can tell you, there was no intention to audit the music ambassador. I don’t know where that came from except if it was a part of the normal internal auditing that Mister Matus did. Maybe he would have targeted the Music Ambassador next.”
