    The last time a check was given in Malaysia on our behalf it is “alleged” the treasury never saw it…..hmmmmmmmm! Now we see another mister accepting a check again? Jesus help us with all these shenanigans going on. By December 31st no one will be able to give account of that check. Well, on the other hand it might be cashed and used to pay for storage space owed by “a certain minister” who was hiding a truck load of rashan on his property 8) 8) .

    Assertive and pissed! :twisted:

    Compass Bank…..…please, please please monitor this clown corrupt Labour government with your tax payers money. We know them well as we have been asking for accountability in our money and those that come from overseas. Please ensure transparent, monitoring and accountability tools and systems in place. We have a list of on-going accountability issues for this so called government to report on. The Bin Bobol. The Fertilizer Bobol, the CBI money. Therefore, we, parliament and the people only got to know of this devious act onky when the Right Hon. Lennox Linton Leader of the Opposition exposed their dirty deals and corruption. We had enough of this misuse of funds and corruption…..and lack of any development. We are suffering.

    I hope the National Treasury has enough storage space for this check. The last a whole truck load of ration was seen being stored on your property you claimed that, “There was no storage space available.” We need an account of this money.

    But who in the world is Compass Bank? Where are they located? Is this bank located in Dominica? Why is attorney Lennox Lawrence present for a simple thing as a small financial donation of $US 50,000.00? Is there something illegal about this financial contribution that requires the presence of a lawyer?

        The Compass Bank you refer to in Texas has nothing to do with the people mentioned in this article. Since you appear to have knowledge of this Compass Bank Owned by Mr. Alfredo Portelez please share the contact information and where this Compass Bank operates.
