And while Penner may be getting on the hook - the three Immigration officers who alleeg3dly issued Citizen Kim's passport look like they are getting off it. Immigration Officers Sharon Neal-Flowers, Omar Phillips, Erwin Robinson, who were accused of having a hand in the Citizen Kim passport scandal have been cleared of all wrong-doings by the Public Service Commission, and they've been reinstated to resume duties as public officers.
Viewers may remember that all 3 officers faced a tribunal hearing before the Commission a month ago, when they defended themselves against allegation with their attorneys Oswald Twist and Andrea McSweaney McKoy. In that hearing, which was concluded in one day, the Commission heard evidence from the Acting Director of Immigration, Maria Marin.
Well, after reviewing the materials placed before them - which we are told was rather thin, the Commission has ruled that these officers did not act in a manner that would justify their termination from the public service.
7News understands from several well-placed and independent sources that all 3 officers have been given letters to note their reinstatement to their posts, and that only Sharon Neal-Flowers didn't report to work today due to her mother's death.
We also understand that Phillips and Robinson have been transferred from the Immigration Office in Belmopan, but we've not be able to confirm where they're now being placed
