ST GEORGE‘S, Grenada: The opposition National Democratic Congress party (NDC) has planned for Sunday what it says will be the largest rally in history of Grenada where the people will be informed of the latest scandals in which Grenada and some of its leaders are prominently featured.

Grenada lately has being experiencing a very unstable political environment where allegations of corruption have taken center stage.

In every corner, shop or bar the talk is "what is happening and why our leaders are so silent".

NDC officials say Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell is yet to make a public address on the many scandalous allegations that could only harm Grenada as a nation and create doubts in the minds of potential investors.

The latest allegation to surface is that of a report published by a Miami based international finance newsletter Offshore Alert where the Prime Minister was accused of having received a pay off of half a million dollars from a former German diplomat Eric Resteiner.

The Grenadian leader through his press secretary has since denied the allegation.

Now the opposition is contending that Dr. Mitchell has only denied the quantity of money received but admitted that he visited the home of Mr Resteiner.

Opposition leader Tillman Thomas has since filed various questions in parliament about this issue. One of the questions filed is whether or not it is customary for the Prime Minister or government Ministers to travel to private homes and collect money in briefcases.

It is expected that the corruption allegation issue will heat up in the upcoming week since there are already talk about a march against corruption in Grenada's capital.
