WHAT CONSPIRACY AT TOURIST BOARD

IT'S NO BIG DEAL: JUST A FEW MISSING FILES IN THE DONOVAN LORDE EMBEZZLEMENT CASE

How convenient.

The files are missing. But then, what else is supposed to happen when you get accused on being a one man bobol operation in the Tourist Board, of all places.

Even better for you, if your lawyers end up becoming tourism minister and planning minister before your case is done.

Donovan Lorde

 

Donovan Lorde was suspected of embezzling money from the St Lucia Tourist Board. He was fingered as a ‘lone gunman’ who had no accomplices. When Lorde’s face was splashed all over the media along with his lawyers, Stanley Felix and Lorne Theophilus, everyone assumed that the lone gunman was going down.

After all, with no accomplices, everyone would be co-operating to ensure that he paid the price for his dastardly deeds.

Not so.

The Donovan Lorde case is currently amounting to less than a government inquiry into missing funds.

No one at the St Lucia Tourist Board seems to be able to know what happened to the files most relevant to the case.

Now, no one is saying that there is a ring of corruption in the St Lucia Tourist Board. All that’s being said is that there really was corruption in the Donovan Lorde case, but now, all Lewis Louis’ horses and all Tracy Warner-Arnold’s men cannot help police put this case together again.
