In a country where the people have
traded their moral values for the facilitation of a con man and his crime
syndicate another account
of racketeering and police cover up is considered banal or just another day on
an island plagued by corruption scandals.
Even while the dirt is
still being piled on to bury the “bobol” at the Ministry of Agriculture's Fisheries
Department, the Skerrit administration is also
actively trying to undermine an investigation involving racketeering among DLP
supporters in Portsmouth.
We can confirm that a
number of people in Portsmouth have been accused of purchasing stolen
government property from one of PM Skerrit’s personal contractor in Portsmouth.
Not only is the accused contractor close to PM Skerrit, many of those in
receipt of the stolen goods are laborites and so efforts are being made by the Skerrit
administration to bury the investigation and to keep the matter from public
discourse.
According to reliable
sources the gentleman from Portsmouth had been contracted to install solar
street lamps and it is alleged that he had been pulling off some sort of a
“Robin Hood “ operation by stealing from the rich but instead of donating the
loot to the poor, the Robin Hood contractor allegedly had been selling the
stolen government property to the poor and willing buyers in Portsmouth.
We understand that the
police went to a number of houses looking for missing solar lamps and in
particular, the missing batteries from the dysfunctional street lamps. It is
alleged that in addition to selling the solar lamps the "Robin Hood"
had also been accused of returning to the installed street lamps under the
guise of maintenance but allegedly he would remove the batteries from the solar
lamp and then peddle the batteries around Portsmouth
It is also alleged that the accused
"Robin Hood" contractor had also been performing interior
work at Skerrit’s newly built mansion in Morne Daniel and so it may be
reasonable to assume that while working on Skerrit’s
mansion “Robinhood” realize that if a con man in leadership is
stealing from the people then what monkey see monkey shall do.
