What the crook that was fired by his boss is alleged to have done pales in comparison to those that the boss himself has done. They are both associated with human traffickers, drug dealers but only the boss is directly involved in defrauding the treasury.

I would not repeat this alleged denial by Ron that there was no corruption. That is not an accurate portrayal of the statement made.

Heat, rage and yet more defeat

th2addbeb1-3550-2b49-2b36-000070253b41_galeThere have to be more games in Dominica.
