Moses “Shyne” Barrow, Leader of the Opposition

“No politician should come into politics to become wealthy. You come into politics to advocate eon behalf of the people that elected you to implement policies and to serve. It should be all about public administration. It shouldn’t be about wealth. So I have absolutely no difficulty with this bill. I hope that is retroactive. I hope that we can look, since the PUP always looks backwards, I hope that we can go beyond thirteen years and so that it can be a bipartisan bill and not a political bill that seeks to go after politicians in the opposition but all politicians that cannot explain their source of wealth and assets that they have amassed since becoming elected members of the house.”
