Today, via text message we asked Prime Minister Dean Barrow if the appearance of this document changes anything in his threshold for firing any Cabinet minister who was on the take from Dermen.  

Here’s the Whatsapp exchange:

Does the naming of John Saldivar as an evidence-worthy associate give you pause to reconsider (the threshold for firing a member of your cabinet)?

"It does not since I must act, can only act, on probative evidence. Clearly, then, the fact alone of text messages, without any disclosure of contents, without any indication of their subject matter, is not a basis on which I can proceed. There is, as yet, no there there. If I moved before there is, I would be violating the most basic rules of fairplay.â€￾ End quote.  

The Prime Minister issued a full official statement later on this evening - and we’ll have the rest of that coming up.
