New­ly ap­point­ed Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Mar­vin Gon­za­les has pledged to make the re­port on the trag­ic fire that claimed the lives of for­mer MP Lisa Mor­ris-Ju­lian and two of her chil­dren pub­lic.

Mor­ris-Ju­lian, who was serv­ing as the D’Abadie/O’Meara MP and a Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion at the time, along with her daugh­ter, 25-year-old Xi­anne Ju­lian, and her six-year-old son, Je­si­ah Ju­lian, trag­i­cal­ly lost their lives in a fire that dev­as­tat­ed their Far­fan Street, Ari­ma home on De­cem­ber 16.

“That re­port is on my desk, and I am cur­rent­ly re­view­ing its con­tents. I plan to have dis­cus­sions with the Ho­n­ourable Prime Min­is­ter at the ap­pro­pri­ate time re­gard­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ty of shar­ing its de­tails with the pub­lic. I am still in the process of di­gest­ing the re­port,” Gon­za­les stat­ed when asked by the me­dia about the pos­si­bil­i­ty of re­leas­ing the re­port.

He em­pha­sised that one of his first ac­tions in his new ca­pac­i­ty will be to de­ter­mine the sta­tus of the re­port and to ex­plore ways of mak­ing it ac­ces­si­ble to the pub­lic. —Ot­to Car­ring­ton
