Lisa’s Lawyering Fees
posted (March 28, 2019)
And, of course, appearing in court representing the government, will be former PUP Foreign Minister Lisa Shoman. Her support of the "Yes" campaign when her party is saying "No" - has earned her all kinds of criticism. Today the press asked the Prime Minister who's paying:..

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Yes, we have retained Miss Shoman's law firm and of course we are paying her as we would pay any other lawyer. Quite frankly, given how much work she is doing and how much master of mistress of the brief, I personally feel we are not paying her enough, but let me not encourage her."

Senator Lisa Shoman
"No comment."

Reporter
"Would you care to say how much that would be then?"

Senator Lisa Shoman "I haven't finish billing them, so that might help you."

We'll have more from today's two hour press conference a little later on in the news.
