The Chopper Investigation Ongoing

And while it's a zero-sum game for the UDP candidates right now, we also asked the chairman of the ruling party to change hats back to Ministerial one, for national security.

It's been months since we've heard an update on the BDF chopper crash that killed two pilots and two crew - and here's what he had to say about that:

Hon. Michael Peyrefitte - Minister of National Security

"I think we made it very public, that each family was given a sort of like an ex-rata payment of $100,000 or something to that effect, without admitting any fault on the government. I think we have determined that it was pilot error that caused the crash. Now, there is an investigation going on as to the internal mechanism of the BDF, in terms of dealing with the aircraft, and that is about to be completed."
