Chief Minister continues to mislead on Bassadone Group deal

Chief Minister continues to mislead on Bassadone Group deal

The Chief Minister is very obviously cornered and rattled at having been caught out. He has not only failed to acknowledge that he has misled Parliament – which he unquestionably has – but actually further misleads the public in the GBC interview he has given.
In a further and worrying development, the Chief Minister states that he answered in the way he did because he claims that Mr Bossino asked for rental payments ‘to date’. This is not the case. Mr Bossino sought information on the ‘rental amounts’.

From the initially prepared answer to the following answers he gave, the Chief Minister said that the monthly rental payment from the Government to Bassadone was £21,816.66 and not £87,266.67. That cannot be denied.

Damon Bossino MP said: “In trying to wriggle his way out from the discomfort he is obviously experiencing, he is now also casting doubt as to whether the Government will in fact sell its properties, stating that he did not say he would but only that he could ‘potentially raise’ £10M. He, in fact and on the record said that the capital value of the Government
properties ‘will release upwards of £8,844,000’.”

In a Trumpesque lashing out, the Chief Minister seeks to create a fake reality which less and less people believe.

Rather than throw mud at Mr Bossino and the GSD what the Chief Minister should be doing is correcting the record and not spin further stories which have no basis in truth.

Despite all the attempts at confusing the issues, there are serious value for money/public benefit issues here.
