Former Attorney General and Esa’ala MP Davis Steven has called on the Attorney General and relevant authorities to file a Supreme Court reference to determine whether the UBS Loan was lawful or unlawful. Mr Steven made the call today in Parliament following the tabling of the UBS report after the completion of the Commission of Inquiry into the UBS Loan saga. He said instead of playing the blame game on the players in this transaction, he pointed out a recommendation made by the commission in the report on page 29. “The commission recommended the following questions be referred to the Supreme Court under section 19 (1) of the Constitution,” Mr Steven said. “This House can send a very clear picture to the people that we want action by insisting that section 19 authorities make direct instructions to the Attorney General immediately for this Supreme Court reference to be filed.” “The authorities includes the Parliament Speaker, Prime Minister, the Attorney General himself, and the Opposition Leader.” “Why I’m saying this is because all the other recommended steps and actions may not be practicable.” “We’re already at the very tail end of our term, but a reference being filed will survive the lapse of the term of this parliament.” “A reference will clearly establish whether the UBS Loan was lawful or unlawful.”
