    Nicholas hostility expressed at the journalist’s questioning the loyalty factor in the political fiasco is unbecoming of a Minister of Information! He acted as if he was defending something that required to remain hidden.
    Clearly the Ruling Party is splintering and needs help from the Opposition to survive. Considering that the young man in question who jumped ship without warning, and was sworn in as a Senator today is indicative of a transactional exchange which does have monetary content; he will receive a Senator’s pay for as long as the election is not announced.

      Her question was completely out of context. It wasn’t a political forum. What does a Party selection of a candidate has to do with a “Cabinet” press briefing? The former is a Party matter-the latter the nations business .. From me as the Minister- I would not even entertain those questions..

      Are you saying that we the citizens can’t asked the government or the ministers of government anything. We are taxpayers and we have the right to know what is happening. If we have to wait until a political forum to ask certain questions, it’s best we stay home on Election Day. This hide-and-seeks is destroying mankind and planet earth. Let the journalist ask the questions the people need answers too.
