IMMIGRATION Minister Alfred Sears said a commission Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis established to review how immigration decisions are made comprises former Education Director Marcellus Taylor, former Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Clifford Scavella and Alexandria Hall.
He said the commission is “set to make pivotal strides in improving the way immigration decisions are made in The Bahamas.”
“The commission will review the checks and balances relative to how immigration decisions are made, and make recommendations to strengthen the decision-making process,” he said.
“Cost-saving measures to ensure the efficient use of financial resources will be explored by a newly formed commission for the comprehensive view of immigration decisions, checks and balances.”
Mr Davis said the commission would be established after Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard leaked documents showing senior immigration officials were concerned with former Immigration Minister Keith Bell’s alleged interference in their work.
