PRIME Minister Phillip “Brave” Davis on Friday refused to comment on ongoing investigations at the Water and Sewerage Corporation, a day after Long Island MP Adrian Gibson was taken into custody and questioned by police.

“Let’s just say this, I have nothing to say about that,” Mr Davis said when asked to respond to claims that the former WSC executive chairman is being targeted by his administration.

“The matter is in the hands of police and whatever they decide, it’s in their hands and I have no observations to make about it at this time.”

Mr Gibson’s attorney, Romona Farquharson-Seymour, confirmed to The Tribune that her client was questioned by police for some seven hours Thursday.

She also said Mr Gibson was served a search warrant for his home.

This comes after police allegedly took several of Mr Gibson’s rental vehicles into custody on Long Island earlier this month.

Speaking to The Tribune, Mrs Farquharson-Seymour maintained that Mr Gibson was being “targeted” for political reasons, a sentiment shared by many members of the Free National Movement.

However, when asked about the issue last week, Prime Minister Davis dismissed accusations that his administration is on a political witch hunt regarding WSC.

He also told reporters that he will not interfere with the ongoing police probe.

Brave doesn't have to say anything now

He already told Adrian that he would F..K him up if he became PM

Brave is just using the organs of the State to do his dirty work

there is enough questionable behaviour surrounding Gibson's time as Exec Chairman at WSC to warrant investigation.. no right thinking person should have a quarrel with that.

What are you basing this on??? The PLP propaganda that was released at Gibson's nomination?

There is nothing else of substance in the media. But this is how dirty politics is played.

Brave has enough to investigate in his Cabinet right now. He's just digging a few holes for his own Ministers.

And Davis has so far also refused to comment on the use by Jobeth Coleby-Davis of a vehicle under her control as a lethal weapon with intent to cause serious and/or deadly harm to a police officer. It seems that Davis, much like his predecessor Minnis, has no control whatsoever over his cabinet ministers.
