According to Prime Minister John Briceño, his predecessor has a lot to answer to. The former Prime Minister Dean Barrow was the Minister of Finance, and he, according to Briceño, approved the sale of the assets. Briceño says if Barrow has nothing to hide, then he will make an appearance on Monday.

“Political drama, that is what Michael Peyrefitte said this morning that the P.U.P. government is trying to achieve Monday by summoning the former Prime Minister. What would you hope would come out of that interrogation?”

“Well I don’t think it is a matter of political drama. He was the Minister of Finance. In many instances he was the one who had to approve the selloff of these assets pretty much at give away prices. He is the one who approved it. Obvioolsu he has to go. I hope he will show up. What is he afraid for if they didn’t do anything wrong then he should show up. As they say, “el que debe teme.”
