Nov 11 - Chief Minister Condemns Feetham’s Behaviour Over Credit Finance
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, has reiterated his view that Opposition Leader Daniel Feetham’s behaviour over the Government’s Credit Finance Company when he walked out of Parliament was “simply designed to cause dramatic effect.” Mr Picardo insists it is clear that Mr Feetham was totally aware that the Government could not supply the information he wanted because of commercial confidentiality and sensitivity – something, it claims, Mr Feetham has yet to refute.
Following GBC’s interview with Picardo, during which he urged Opposition Leader Daniel Feetham to consider resigning, Mr. Feetham has insisted that his statement is ‘just another desperate example of his propensity to place “grandstanding, showmanship and spin” above substance and careful thought.’
In an interview with GBC’s News Editor Stephen Neish, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo claimed that Opposition Leader Daniel Feetham has sent emails to members of the GSLP claiming that the Government is lending money to party members via Credit Finance Company Ltd so that they can pay tax bills. Mr. Picardo insisted that Mr. Feetham’s claims are untrue.
In response to the Opposition’s recent criticism of the Government’s handling of the fishing dispute, the Government has stated that the past 18 months has been spent mopping up the mess that the GSD left behind when they were in office.
