The GSD has said that it comes as a surprise to learn that the Chief Secretary should say that any movement of monies from Credit Finance Company Limited to Gibraltar Investment (Holdings) Limited took place two years earlier than October 2014.
Number Six says that it is with “an astonishing degree of hypocrisy” that the Opposition have criticised the Government for missing the deadline for filing a company’s accounts by 6 months. It is hypocritical because, argues Number Six, for over a decade, the GSD government failed to comply with the law for the filing of accounts, a decade that included the time that Mr Feetham was in Government with the responsibility of upholding the Rule of Law.
Following a recent Viewpoint debate on public finances, the Chief Secretary Ernest Gomez has issued a statement to the press to clarify the reasons as to why he – together with others – resigned as directors of Credit Finance Company Limited in October 2014.
The Minister for Business and Employment, Neil Costa, is pleased to announce that at the request of Unite the Union, a Working Committee between the Union and the Department of Employment has been established. This Working Committee was announced in the May Day Rally in Casemates by Charlie Robba on behalf of the Department of Employment and Albert Hewitt on behalf of Unite the Union. The purpose of this Working Committee is to discuss and collaborate on issues of mutual interest.
The Minister for Education has reacted to the statement from Edwin Reyes by saying that the investment made in education over the past three and a half years “dwarfs the amounts ever spent by the GSD.”
