PUP Senator Says Equal Blame for Telecommunications Fiascoes
posted (November 30, 2018)
Last night we showed you the seeming slip of the tongue by Attorney General Michael Peyrefitte in responding to Business Senator Mark Lizarraga's brief presentation on the INTELCO settlement deal with GDG Acquisitions LLC. He referred to "six PUP's" in the Upper House, though did not call any names - but the inference seemed clear. The Government has agreed to pay five million dollars for equipment that it says was limited and never worked, but it faced as much as 44 million in debt. There was much derision from the Government side about those days, but does the now Opposition People's United Party own up to what happened with INTELCO, the brainchild of former Minister Glenn D. Godfrey? Opposition Senator Valerie Woods said sure - as long as this administration owns up to theirs.

The motion was subsequently approved. The bill is due by December 14th.
