Former Prime Minister and all his workers whom assisted him on the night of the 20th-21st of March in removing both his personal and State property from his former office's are in some real shyte..... The new attorney general has informed the police that he will be looking to charge all of them with "High Treason" if these documents are not returned by Tuesday...... This ting getting out of hand now, why they don't just return all the documents and let the police along side Lester and the Attorney General sift through these documents and say exactly what is his and what belongs to the state.....
He has seriously impaired the country by doing this, and for a man who has always rallied that he has the country at heart this doesn't ring true.......
Now they finding documents at Yepton's from the P.M's office partially burnt..... This ting giving me a headache..

Yea Shan, I was reading this yesterday saying "if they not guilty...they acting very guilty-ish" I wonder what a diehard-ALP supporter has to say about this....i have an aunt that won't even so much as talk since wednesday.

But -- to add to your headache -- it's more than just missing documents...

FILES SHREDDED...An orchestrated plan says PM
Friday March 26 2004 by Eucelia Hill

Within minutes of being sworn into office on Wednesday, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer entered his new premises on the hill only to find the drawers and cabinets devoid of paper.

This scandal was first reported on Wednesday night when Mr. Spencer made his first public address in his new capacity.

"My first impression was that this was systematically done to hide important documents from the incoming administration," Mr. Spencer told the SUN in an interview yesterday.

It has been also reported that even the files on the computers of the prime minister's secretaries and the chief of staff were deleted and security tapes were missing.

"There was an orchestrated plan to remove documents, destroy them or just to make them inaccessible to any other administration," PM Spencer said, noting there were reports from those who kept vigil at the PM's office on Saturday night that people were seen shredding documents.

"Documents were being shredded so much so that the two machines stopped working," he added.

Although PM Spencer has not had any communication with the former prime minister, he said his administration would continue to investigate the matter in a systematic manner with the help of the police.

Attorney-General Justin Simon also said the disappearance of the documents was "unsettling."

"We are going to have this practical difficulty in terms of governance at least in the initial period. We are just coming in and we have no experience in terms of governing a country, and the assistance we are going to need in governing a country from the civil service and the paper trail are clearly essential.

"In the absence of those documents, it is going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible for the prime minister to function effectively at least in the early days because he will not know what matters need his urgent attention. It means that we have to seek other means of finding out," Simon said.

...full Antigua Sun story

I read it also.....As the saying goes "what goes on in the dark must come to light"....and Lester and all the other crooks dem surely will pay. Antigua will not be able to move forward without a complete AUDIT being done.

audit is another expense is better dey pick up the pieces and move forward

Without the proper audit, how will they ever know how far in debt the country really is?

They dont have no pieces to pick up. I hear the documents burnt, shredded, and gone St. Kitts. I find it hard to believe that a human being could do this. Papa Bird lead the country to independence, and this man gone and slander his name. I dont even know what to say about what this country has ahead of them... but it's a rough road.

Six have been banned from leaving the island.
Beverly Percival, Joyce Edwards and BArbara Thomas, PM secretaries.
WIlls Martin, Patricia Willock and Sheila Fenton.
Police say names of other government workers will soon be added.

A search warrant carried out on Asot home found 30 boxes of documents that have now been taken into custody.
He did let Baldwin know before the warrant was in place that he had documents on his premises.

i told you people this before...this is just the beginning..we must go through this process of finding out what really was going on in the prvious administration..it is necessery to do this in order to move forward....this is only the beginning. But tha PEOPLE have a part to play as well...they should not just sit around and leave everything up to the new government to FIX. antiguans need to get their act together and put aside all the partying and matrial intrests and work with the new government to fix the country properly!!!

theres a whole heap more stuff gonna come to light soon.

certain things need to be addressed...for instants:

the economic control/power allan stanford has on the country..needs to be addressed ASAP.
thats just one area tha needs to be addressed..along with the inferdstructure of the country....its in shambbles right now and needs to be repaired!!!
