ST GEORGE‘S, Grenada: The main opposition party in Grenada is calling on the Prime Minister to immediately vacate office in order to conduct a full scale investigation into allegations that the he received US$500,000 from a German fraudster in 2000. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is also demanding that some other member of his government takes over the mantle as Prime Minister but says the deputy Prime Minister Gregory Bowen is unacceptable to hold that post since there is a history of corruption in that administration where some are more tainted than others. The investigation the NDC says must be conducted by an eminent Caribbean jurist or a panel of judges to which it agrees. The Public Relations Officer of NDC Nazim Burke indicated that in the past situations where people take money on the side and generating the kind of report that they want. Mr. Burke says his party is also demanding that when the panel comes to investigate it must have the right to call witnesses under oath so that the two policemen who were with Dr. Mitchell in Switzerland can be called to give evidence. Meanwhile a protest march that the opposition calls a march against corruption is planned for this Friday. Reprinted from Caribbean Net News caribbeannetnews.com
