A crying shame for a public official

 As though Jack has not been plagued with enough corrupt and fraudulent behaviour, another headline emerged “Former minister solicited and received millions of dollars from wealthy business interests.”

He always claimed that no fingers could point at him during his tenure as a government official.  However, the Sunday Express investigations into his activities found that the former football power broker engaged in an improper solicitation of funds from private business interests in his official capacity as a government minister in 2010 and 2011.

The article also stated that Jack wrote to contractors and other business interests in his official capacity as Minister of Works and Infrastructure asking them to make generous donations to a private company in which he once held an interest the sum of which enters into the millions!

With what was presented as conclusive evidence, it shows that we are spirally downwards as a country rapidly. If Jack wins Chaguanas West, then clearly they are condoning this type of action for selfish gains and not in the best interest of the country.
