STATE SOLICITOR’S FUNCTIONS USURPED BY TWIVEY LAWYERS
by TREASURY INSIDER
The State Solicitor performs a
key role in the country. One of those functions is to clear State contracts for
payment etc. The Attorney General can outsource some of the functions of the
State Solicitor, such as providing advice on State negotiations etc but not the
function of clearing contracts for payment by Finance and Treasury Department. There is a good reason for it –for check and
balances. When the State Solicitor clears the contractual debt, it legitimizes the
transaction on behalf of the State hence an entity other than the State Solicitor
cannot legitimately replace that function.
Sources within the Department of
Treasury have advised that the controversial law firm –Twivey Lawyers – had been
contracted by the sleazy Attorney General to usurp the powers of the State
Solicitor and perform the non-delegable function of clearing contracts before
Department of Treasury could pay. The request to engage the services of Twivey
Lawyers came from none other than Tiffany Twivey’s boyfriend, Daire Vele, who
happens to be Ano Pala’s Central Province play boy.
Imagine how many of the contracts
are being cleared without any proper check and balance.
