Spencer: ALP Leaders Will Be Brought to Justice for Corruption

Given the ALP's recent obsession with the courts, the Prime Minister reminded the country of the many, many court matters that have involved or are involving virtually every high ranking member of the ALP Leadership. Asot Michael, Lester Bird, Gaston Browne, Robin Yearwood, Cutie Benjamin and the rest of the ALP cabal remain under a cloud of suspicion and although justice is slow, justice will be done. Prime Minister Spencer:

The High Court has found that the transfer of 3 acres of land within the Nelson’s Dockyard National Park by the former ALP government to then government Minister and now ALP Chairman GASTON BROWNE, was null and void and ordered that he return the Land Certificate to the Registrar of Lands. He has appealed the decision, but his application for a stay was refused by the Court of Appeal.

The High Court has also dismissed a claim by ALP Parliamentarian ASOT MICHAEL, that the search of his premises by the police was illegal. That search had been conducted in respect of his involvement in the IHI fraudulent transfer of tax funds and a number of documents were seized for use in both the civil action and the Commission of Inquiry.

In the case of ALP Leader, LESTER BIRD, ASOT MICHAEL and OTHERS, preliminary directions and a trial date are being awaited. The Lindquist Report details the fraudulent transaction and traces the various overseas bank accounts into which were deposited the excess funds (after paying the monthly loan installments due to IHI).

Preliminary directions and a trial date are also being awaited in the matter involving the purchase of beach Crown lands at a gross undervalue to a company owned by Lester Bird, Robin Yearwood, and Hugh Marshall.

In another matter, the High Court ruled that the Police Commissioner had full legal authority to institute summary criminal proceedings against ALP Member of Parliament, Steadroy Benjamin in relation to the fraudulent applications for passports that he certified as personally knowing the applicants. He has appealed the decision, which has not yet been heard. Both the applicant and the woman who facilitated the use of her dead son’s birth certificate were found guilty by the court.

We believe that justice might be delayed but justice will not be denied.

The process is slow but I believe it is sure, and the leaders of the Labour Party will be brought to justice for the corruption and criminal abuse that marked their reign as the government for 28 years.

Their corruption hurt all of us. For 28 long years, the ALP ran our country into the ground. Now, justice must and will be done.
