Thu, September 3, 2015
And while the bank is opened for business as of Monday - there's been much political banter about the building it's in. The press asked the Prime Minister about it today:...

Reporter
"Sir, could you confirm for us that the acquisition of the building was indeed bought from the brother of your economic ambassador Mark Espat for 3 million dollars?"

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I believe it was bought from a company, but there is no doubt at all that the company is either owned by or controlled by members of the Espat family."

Reporter
"The price of the building?"

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I don't remember. May have been a little more, may have been a little less."
