I have filed several questions in Parliament for the Prime Minister to answer regarding the massive Keppel Offshore & Marine corruption case and the decision not to charge 6 former senior management staff:
1) Why couldn’t the 6 senior management staff be charged based on the evidence in the statement of facts in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement between KOM and the US DOJ?
2) Why couldn’t the 6 be named?
3) How many times has CPIB reached out to witnesses overseas or sought to obtain documents located overseas regarding this case?
These are the full questions I have filed:
*4106. Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Prime Minister why the statement of facts contained in the Deferred Prosecution Agreement concluded between Keppel Offshore and Marine Limited with the United States Department of Justice dated 22 December 2017 is not considered sufficient, available, and appropriate evidence of the six former senior management staff’s culpability for them to be charged with corruption in Singapore.
*4117. Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Prime Minister (a) why is CPIB not naming the six former senior management staff of Keppel Offshore and Marine limited who have been issued stern warnings in lieu of prosecution for offences punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act; and (b) whether their ages and nationalities can be revealed.
*4116. Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Prime Minister since the conclusion of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement between Keppel Offshore and Marine Limited and the United States Department of Justice in December 2017 (a) how many times has CPIB reached out to witnesses overseas or sought to obtain documents located overseas; (b) when did these actions take place; and (c) what have the responses of the overseas witnesses or organisations been when contacted.
These questions are likely to be answered in the Parliamentary sitting on the week of 6 January. If you have some insights into this case that you would like to share with me, please WhatsApp me at 89250747 or email me at gerald.giam@wp.sg.
