The concerted effort to try and destroy the New National Party is again evident in the Grenada Today writings. Get rid of the Political Leader and Deputy Political Leader and NNP will be done with. To this end George Worme of the Grenada Today has publicly announced that he will use all his energy to destroy completely Dr. the Right Hon. Keith Mitchell and the NNP. Chester Humphrey too, has made it public that he is only living for one purpose not to help workers but to destroy Keith Mitchell and Gregory Bowen, thus eliminating the New National Party and effectively having a one party state. The same tactics used against Sir Eric Matthew Gairy are again being employed. This is not strange since it is the same grouping in power fighting against the New National Party. They painted Gairy as the most corrupt, sexually evil and undesirable person to achieve the Grenada Revolution. They have again formed the alliance of various groupings including civil society. But the alliance is now strained and cracks are appearing at all levels. Under their NDC Administration, the economy is crumbling, victimization is rampant, unfulfilled election promises of lowering cost of living, $400.00 to the elderly, $1,000.00 to the IMANIs, university education for all who qualify, jobs for everyone to name a few. Instead the young people are sent home, elderly citizens chopped from the Public Assistance Lists, the duty free barrels are a disaster to the recipients, farmers and shopkeepers alike and at the same time prices continue to rise. As the social anger escalates the NDC bunch is asking how to divert attention. Since they never stopped campaigning to manage the country, the group met in emergency sessions and arrived at the conclusion that they have no choice but to continue the attacks on the NNP Leadership while the trade union leaders will ensures peace and quiet for Government with its employees. No wonder these Trade Union Presidents are asking their workers to forgo increases sanctioned by the NNP Administration. Indeed persons present at the meeting revealed that some of them were reluctant to continue along that Propaganda path as they have been made to look as fools with the population already seeing through the lies told during the election campaign. One must not forget that the emergency meeting took place against the backdrop of unfinished victimization and a certain special event that must be associated with and accomplished during independence celebrations. The public attention must therefore be diverted just about the week before independence. So the Editor of Grenada prints a story of Gregory Bowen asking a Russian group of investors to put monies due to the Government of Grenada into the account of an individual. George Worme then says that the Prime Minister has asked the DPP to investigate the issue. The fact is that the Government of Grenada entered into an agreement with the Global Petroleum Group (GPG) a company interested in exploring for oil and gas in Grenada, to pay for the defuse of the arbitration brought by Grynberg against Grenada for terminating his company’s right to an exploration license. The agreement with GPG clearly gives the Government’s bank account into which the monies were to be paid. This agreement was signed on 28th September, 2005 and gave the GPG a specific time frame to pay the monies or the contract will terminate. The three incorporating members of GPG are Edward Vasileu, Hev Korchagin and Lev Model. The Attorney General gave evidence against Grenada in London for his client Grynberg. He is well aware that Lev Model was an integral part of GPG. Furthermore, the Prime Minister, Minister for Finance and Minister for Tourism among others were members of the Public Accounts Committee to whom documents were submitted by the Ministry of Finance showing that close to US$2.0m were deposited into Government’s account. Known only to the members of GPG, that company entered into a separate agreement with one of its members Lev Model for him to pay from his personal monies the estimated cost of the Arbitration and the company GPG will reimburse Mr. Model in tranches or a period. That second agreement, provided for Mr. Model to be the agent of GPG and gave account numbers, GOG’s into which Model must pay. The records on file in the Ministry show that Bowen repeatedly wrote to GPG asking that the monies under the agreement be paid to the Government of Grenada. If GPG paid monies to Model it was of their own doing since neither the Government nor the Minister knew of nor influenced their entering into a parallel agreement. It is for this reason that the offending letter was withdrawn and an apology tendered. George Worme and all the others are aware of this but the task is to divert attention. The Grenada Today must call on the Prime Minister to investigate a Sitting Minister with judgment for fraud against him; a former NDC Parliamentarian for insurance fraud; a very senior NDC official who manhandled the Public Service into providing immoral privileges to a family member; and officials close to the Prim Minister, alleged to be involved in enhancing in conflict of interest. George Worme must pay his own judgment penalties.
