    "content": "THAT, the interference by IRA and treachery by the judges has held the matter in abeyance for over 20 years at the expense of shareholders, employees and policy-holders who are suffering since some of them were dependent on the insurance for medical cover; THAT, continued delay in reviving UIC is a gross violation of the rights of the company’s shareholders, policy-holders and employees’ rights to a fair hearing; and, THAT, efforts by the Petitioners to have their plight addressed by the IRA and the courts have not yielded any satisfactory response. THEREFORE, your humble Petitioners pray for the intervention of this House through the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to: (i) Inquire into the circumstances under which the IRA and the Commissioner for Insurance have, for almost 20 years, disregarded the recommendations to revive the United Insurance Company Limited, persistently refused to facilitate the claims settlement committee to execute the joint proposal on revival strategy and persistently pursued winding up clause to liquidate the company; (ii) inquire into alleged interference and abuse of office by the successive commissioners of insurance in the matter of the revival of United Insurance Company Limited with a view to recommending appropriate action; (iii)inquire into alleged irregular disposal of assets of United Insurance Company Limited particularly, United Tower under unclear circumstances, with a view to reverting the property to the company and recommending prosecution of those found culpable; (iv) recommends that the IRA immediately ceases any further winding up proceedings with respect to United Insurance Company Limited and fast-tracks the revival of the company; and, (v) recommend any other relief it deems fit in order to safeguard the Petitioner’s rights. And your Petitioners will ever pray. I thank you."
