Why would anyone want to do.What is in the above story.All they should do,dress in Red and forge Gaston Browne’s signature.For as a COMRADE,you could do almost anything and get away with it.Like he did say someone forged his signature and short changed the Peoples Purse at Customs. What has become of that matter? Why the Police did not investigate that matter.Then present their findings to the DPP for Prosecution.According to one named Lie No Hell.They just wanted that person to repay the monies,not to name and shamed.They make the Laws and they think they are above those Laws made by them. What a damn shame!!
