The Premier and Minister of Works today held a media conference to claim that the cheques purported to have been paid to them by courthouse contractor LLC Bermuda are forgeries. The Premier said:
“It is clear that they may also have been used to support and to catalyse invasive, costly and time-consuming investigations into Government’s actions in relation to the Court/Police station project.”
Independent investigations should be undertaken into both the courthouse project and the funny cheques. Don’t you think this is getting a little weird, even by Bermuda standards? It’s a perpetual sideshow around here!
Oh, and how are those investigations going into the “election bullet” and Thaao’s knife holdup?
UPDATE: I heard the Premier on the radio this morning speculating that the mysterious “kickback cheques” were an attempt to stoke up support for an independent inquiry into corruption (presumably a la Turks & Caicos). Umm, is that really what he’s worried about? Because I would be particularly disappointed if he could be bought for a mere $15,000. As I said: a perpetual sideshow.
