DP Faber Repeats, Bring The Hearings To An End
posted (May 31, 2017)

And while the PUP’s wish the hearings would continue next week - and every week until the next election - with testimony just like Alvarine Burgess, the UDP want it to end, like last week.  And for the second time in a week, the Deputy Prime Minster re-iterated that the hearings have served their purpose and are now at a stage of being self-defeating:..

Hon. Patrick Faber - Deputy Prime Minister
“Senator Courtenay leads a charge to try to be Pontius Pilate and to try to blame and try to witch hunt for certain people like calling in Alvarine Burgess, completely misinterpreting the law, they want to push this to serve a political agenda rather than in our view to find out the facts and to deal with it. What has come out of the senate inquiry is that while they were speculations that the ministers were the ones who were involved with all of this corruption that was the goal to try to expose that in fact all levels in the system there are problems. Now we’ve identified all of that, all that continue these hearings can do is to show other examples of the same thing.â€￾

We still have a lot more from the Senate hearings, which we will share with you in <tomorrow’s newscast.
