"Did the Mose Hyde complaint initiate any chain of events which would lead to a police investigation of the Immigration Department?"

Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of Police
"It hasn't because the complaint would have to come from the department and from the Director of Immigration and I believe that the Commissioner of Police is waiting to hear from the Immigration Department or the Minister responsible for Immigration if any investigation by the police is warranted."

Hon. Godwin Hulse - Minister of Immigration
"Police was invited in at 4:30 yesterday by the Director of Immigration and the CEO who are the competent officials and the right persons to invite them to look at all aspects of the situation including files that are missing and files held by Mr. Saldivar's report. There is no holds bar. Its comprehensive because of the fact that we are continuing the inventory and investigations into this matter, the Director feels it's appropriate and so does the CEO as is their right to invite the police to look at the whole comprehensive package of photocopying files that are going missing etc."

"Sir, you do not know that the substantive Minister of Immigration Mr. Hulse has said that the police was called in to investigate on Tuesday. As minister you should be aware of that."

Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of Police
"To investigate what?"

Marisol Amaya, KREM Radio
"The passport scandal. It appears you are saying that they have to wait for the Immigration Department to initiate that complaint and they have already done so."

Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of Police
"I was talking just now about the Arthur Saldivar situation in terms of the files that are missing. But if there is an update that I am not aware of then I am guided by what the Minister of Immigration has said."
