When did that occur? It’s the first I’m hearing about that situation?
The comrades see their politicians self enrichment and want to get in on the act to get their.
Wonder if she trying a thing like the Cooks Pond Water PM that JOHN ASHE said was so GREEDY for KICKBACKS & BRIBE.
3 buses registered in the names of 3 UPP politicians….well sah
one even turned 1 bus into a entertainment spot with STIPPER POLE installed.
jesus christ will forgive her and the courts will set her free on a technicality as the government rewards her with early retirement and pension package to keep her silent like walsh.
@Cool Ruler. You are so right and instead of voting out the jokers who are self-enriching, they vote to keep them in office in the hope that they too will will be able to self-enrich. Well guess what? Self-enrichment is really corruption by another name and whereas politicians may be able to get cover for themselves, they wont do that for others.
@Dion Pelle. You are so right and persons, like myself, all this time have been pleading for a change of attitudes and course. We have been labelled haters of a particular party but this break-down in law and order was long in coming and that is what we continue to oppose.
A person is innocent until proven guilty! This is how our system of justice works. It is most unfortunate that we encourage and spread any and every for of speculation, but do not have the courage to say to everyone to stop the wild romours and let the legal system do it’s work
I refuse to become a part of any mob to use social media.to lynch anyone! We are have friends and family! Stop acting like haters and more like socially responsible human beings who want to fairly and unbiasly fix this situation and move forward.
