			<title>Eric - kangaroo court part 2 of 2</title>
			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/news/politics/98082-bird-demands-public-inquiry.html#comment-66147</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Eric if you have evidence that can speed up the process why don't you take it to the relevant authorities? Eric, don't you find it strange that the government has stated that they have sufficient evidence to convict yet claims things are being stymied because they cannot access bank accounts? Eric I recall some months the finance minister tried to lay the blame of no criminal charges at the foot of the DPP. The DPP responded that the police are investigating the matter. The DPP states as things stand, there is no evidence or insufficient evidence for them to prosecute. According to the DPP see (http://www.antiguaobserver.com/?p=55734): "In a court of public law and surmises opinion, accusations of wrongdoing may be sufficient... The minister is well advised that he should first determine whether the police force of Antigua & Barbuda has completed its investigation into that matter before seemingly suggesting that the office of the DPP has that file on its desk. As far as I am aware, the police are still carrying out the investigation and has never submitted any file to me,” Armstrong stated. ..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Eric I know this will be a waste of a post since you don't listen. The statements that you keep making are subject of a lawsuit. Unlike you I will not jump on board and accuse persons of things based on the words of politicians. As I stated to Jill, the PM himself recently apologized for some of these same words and is currently being sued by MP Bird. Eric I have never seen the IHI report but I know the DPP has stated it does not contain anything he can use in prosecuting anyone and has asked the police to investigate the matter (see http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/news/police/9377-police-reviewing-lindquist-report.html) ..]]></description>

I have heard him deny that he has such an account. Proof of the suit can be found at http://www.antiguaobserver.com/?p=61835 and try and recall that the PM made similar allegation against MP Browne and later publicly apologized. ..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Is Lester Bird seriously requesting an inquiry from PM Spencer about fencing? Lester needs to point the finger at himself first ( alleged Isle of Mann Bank; the knight in shining handcuffs- Allen Stanford; Vesco, Malvo, etc). After Lester is investigated on the above incidents by the authorities and let us know the results, then he is free to demand any inquiry from PM Spencer.]]></description>

			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/news/politics/98082-bird-demands-public-inquiry.html#comment-66137</link>
			<description><![CDATA[When asked if we should put measures in place to those that are caught stealing, the Massiah Lovell said we should not because people "should not thief!"What a missed opportunity for the MP to put his foot down, and say he will see to it that corruption doesn't sweep under the rug! Instead, the MP and others in his party would try to avoid corruption probe from a public inquiry! I believe that corruption should not be given a pat-on-the-risk , and we should not spear anyone, regardless of party lines! I agree with some of you that they should go to "jail" if they steal our "PATRIMONEY!" We need to make an example out of persons, so they would think twice and resist the temptation of ripping off the state. It is a pity that the "Full-Pleadge Partisan" do not even see any corruption in his government! How can he, when he is given a weekly script to turn a blind eye!]]></description>

If you had you would have heard Daniel's involvement, and other Cabinet members, in this being questioned hence the need for a pubic inquiry vs something less Independent. I hope you will join me in stating that anyone whatever political color found stealing public funds needs to go to prison. ..]]></description>

			<link>http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/news/politics/98082-bird-demands-public-inquiry.html#comment-66134</link>
			<description><![CDATA[A figure of 114m has been credibly rumoured as the total for sub-standard “side-walks” “fences” “non-existent toilets” and half finished walls etc. etc. with money trails leading to afar destinations. Besides morals Minister Bird, as an elected Civil Servant, is duty bound to his country to demand a thorough investigation including ALL the money trails in this issue. If he was making this demand as retired Mr. Bird then perhaps one could question the past, but this is here and now theft of the Antiguan people’s money. It is narrow minded and selfish to use smoke screens to try and diminish this particular incident of massive theft or any of the other (small and large) thefts of the people’s money that have occurred during the past 7 years and still are, I have no doubt, occurring. Antigua cannot afford to lose a dollar far less millions to enrich the self-interested few while the majority suffers on a daily basis. This does not come under the definition of governing for a democracy of “we the people”.]]></description>

THE CURRENT SITE OF 1735 IS STILL THE BEST PLACE BUT AT PRESENT ITS POPULATION IS GROWING IN QUANTUM LEAPS. HOWEVER THE PRESENT BUILDING IS TOO SMALL ,BUT FEAR NOT, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE TOP.

The information I have is that some 60% of the ALP Members would vote for them again if the money were repaid.

			<description><![CDATA[Eric, you keep singing the same Sunday Gospel about IHI and APUA! Like Lovell and others, you would do anything do avoid any inquiries into the Senator’s fencing scandal or your government’s “wrong doing!” As always, you would rather put your “partisan” over country! The last time I check, MP Bird is the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee! does he have a "moral authority" to call an inquiry? keeep your head in the bushes!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Eric I find it telling that you prefer to focus on the IHI investigation where you have not even seen the report yet on this fencing scandal where the report has been made public you have very little to say. Where a public inqury and IHI is concerned, perhaps you have not gotten this (i doubt it) but the reason why there can be no public inquiry into the IHI matter is because as you stated there is a matter (a civil one) already in the courts. Eric why would anyone want to have a public inquiry whose main purpose is to investigate when you already say you have enough evidence to convict and so already involved the court? Eric if the government wants to have a public inquiry into the IH1 matter they would need to terminate the existing court case/ or cases. Eric using the AG words, we had a public inquiry into IHI but it was called off because of the reasons I stated before (see http://www.caribarena.com/antigua/news/latest/9249-ihi-commission-of-inquiry-called-off.html) ..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Based on the evidence in the report,if the government is caught committing a crime(unlawful actions and blatant wrong-doing,col lusion and criminal conversion),wou ldn't it be wiser to file criminal charges instead of asking for a public inquiry? Because in the end,what really matter is the evidence showing that the government failed to act in conformity with the law. That is ,the government's failure to write to the Tenders Board about the availability of the work resulted in several contractors not knowing about it,thus denying them of their rights to bid on it.But if there's no evidence to support that the government in fact engaged in the conduct that Lester Bird is asserting as a legitimate reason for a public inquiry,no law in the land should appease him.We must not encourage false accusation to set up investigation of our government.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What moral authority does Lester Bird and others in the ALP have for asking to uncover "unlawful actions and blatant wrong-doing, -------- and criminal conversion have been committed by un-named persons involved in the construction projects." ? Any Inquiry set up to investigate the fencing question, must of necessary also involve the same for the IHI and the APUA FUNDING projects, where millions of dollars were allegedly ciphered from our treasury into private Bank Accounts all over the world during the ALP administration. I am sure that even he will admit that “The contents clearly indicate that unlawful actions and blatant wrong-doing, collusion and criminal conversion have been committed by un-named (and named) persons involved in these two projects”. There is still a matter pending in our courts where Lester, Asot and others are named in the IHI matter – and where almost a hundred xxx are xxxx xxxxx these matters xxx – I ask again – where is there MORAL AUTHORITY?????]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have little problem with an inquiry into the matter (though historically these tend to be more about entertainment than justice). I do however have a serious problem with Lester Bird calling for accounting of public funds, integrity, transparency and anything morally-upright . Such bloated hypocrisy well surp** the elements of farce.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY WHEN PM SPENCER AND OPPOSITION LEADER LESTER BIRD FURTHER SWITCH ROLES. JUST LIKE PRE 2004 LESTER IS NOW THE ONE CALLING FOR, BEGGING FOR A PUBLIC INQUIRY HOW COULD PM SPENCER, WHO WAS THE PEOPLES CHAMPION PRE 2004 NOW BECOME THE VILLIAN. PRE 2004 LESTER WAS THE ONE COVERING UP REPORTS NOW ITS PM SPENCER. IT SEEMS THAT GOOD AND BAD GOES WITH THE TITLES OPPOSITION LEADER AND PRIME MINISTER RESPECTIVELY. I AM CALLING ON HAMA PRODUCTION TO DO AN ANTIGUAN VERSION OF EDDIE MURPHY MOVIE "TRADING PLACES" STARRING BALDWIN SPENCER AND LESTER BIRD.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is obvious that crimes have been committed. Lester is very much needed at this time for it will take a strong opposition to take on institutional decay. Crimes have been commited no doubt and it's not ok to call it just mistakes. I am convinced that there is enough money to run Antigua and even lower taxes and living expences for the people. it is those careless politicians that because it is not their money just burn it up at will. Then a few millions here a few millions there to who they want. I hope there will be some firings and some jail times for as high up as possible. Mr. Spencer should be on board with this for I know he is a reasonable person and want to also get to the bottom of this. I think the report is enough to start investigating individuals and some should resign in order for the investigation to be ligitamate. In this hard recession, you can't aske the people to tighten their belts while squandering tax dollars...A good stimulus plan would be to build a new jail. it would help grow the economy and will be very useful in the future]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There have been many scandals under the U.P.P, starting with the Car Park in 2005, which up to this day, can not house a single vehicle. Mr. Spencer also said that he would tolerate no KNOWN corruption in his government, one strike and you're out, but since he always pleads ignorance, with his favourite phrase being, "I am not aware" I guess he doesn't know of any of the corruption in his Government. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ola_O5cboHo If I was a betting man, I would bet that Mr. Spencer will insure that there is no forensic audit into this scandal. Only the Nation, if we make enough noise on this issue, may force his hand to do just that!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe the Fat Boy should explain his association with Sir Allen? Who was responsible when An Antiguan Knight hijacked Antiguan sovereignty for his own personal gain, and some fat boy's pretension to the (so called) throne. We await the response from the fat man (no longer slim enough to fit in a malt glass)]]></description>
