Is Gov Rankin a liar? Double standards & hypocrisy over CoP investigation
The Governor, who will be remembered for his recent power grab attempt, agreed.
Mr Smith, who has reportedly done nothing wrong and no corruption was found under his leadership coming out of the Commissioner of Inquiry Report, was sent on Administrative leave.
Before a formal investigation had started, the Director of International Affairs Secretariat, Ms Najan Christopher, was sent on leave for writing a letter saying that former Premier Andrew A. Fahie was head of Government at the time of his arrest and diplomatic immunity may be applicable. She was later charged with Breach of Trust over this letter.
Former Permanent Secretary in the Premier's Office Dr Carolyn O’Neal-Morton was accused of not cooperating with the Auditor General when she simply asked for more time to provide information. For that she was sent on leave and to date she has not been charged with anything. Dr O’Neal has since filed a Constitutional Motion against Governor Rankin.
While Ms Lorna Stevens, the Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Education was being investigated for the Elmore Stoutt High School wall, even before any formal charges were made, she was sent on leave.
Double standards & lies
Today, the Governor has a different version, claiming he cannot send the Commissioner of Police on leave with some 55 allegations against him until the investigation has started and there is evidence. This new policy made just for Mr Collins is alarming and the public may have just lost all faith in Mr Rankin. There are loud noises of a hidden agenda and double standards over this issue, even from Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7).
While it is clear both Rankin and Collins are UK nationals, the justice system should be fair to all and treat each public officer the same.
Some fourteen years ago, a prominent Permanent Secretary was sent on leave before any investigation into a mere newspaper article. The Officer later sued and was successful against the crown.
This has again solidified in the public domain that this is a conspiracy against those who speak out for fairness and justice and then become targets with trumped-up charges to damage their reputations.
The policy has been for almost twenty-five years that if serious allegations are made against a public officer, that officer is sent on leave while an investigation is ongoing, something Mr Rankin himself has applied to other public officers.
Special Treatment?
Many critics continue to allege that the police commissioner and governor are using the justice system as a weapon to silence them, as in the case of the Customs Commissioner Mr Smith. There are now reports that the Chief Immigration Officer Mr Ian B. Penn was forced to retire because he challenged many of the corruption taking place by the UK police officers.
The fact that Governor Rankin refused to send Mr Collins on leave, as had been the practice for years, placed the legitimacy and credibility of the investigation in jeopardy and many residents have now lost confidence as Mr Rankin, in recent interviews, continues to change the rules over the matter.
Some are now asking if former local Commissioners of Police Vernon E. Marlone and Reynell Frazer would have still been on the job while an investigation was ongoing if fifty-five allegations were leveled against them.
Under Mr Collins and Governor Rankin, there are over 14 lawsuits pending against them from public officers, most of them from the police and civilians for violations of rights and unfair treatment. A class action lawsuit is to be filed shortly, according to an Attorney working on the matter.

This is so wrong and high handed what the governor is doing!!!! The Governor is showing it is not about JUSTICE but JUST US once you have a bl*** face
Fahie going to be jail anyway
Moreover, the handpicked Sir Gary Hickinbottom’s led CoI outcomes were predetermined, especially the suspension of the VI constitution, etc. The CoI was conducted unfairly with much bias. For example, the total focus of the one-man commissioner investigation was laser-focused on functions under the purview of Black locals. However, little or no focus was placed on troubled functions under the purview of the Governor, viz, RVIPF, Civil service, HMP, etc. Further, the conclusion of the investigation into the 55 charges lodged against CoP Mark Collins will read, “ no evidence to substantiate charges.” As was the case with the Gary Hickinbottom’s CoI, the outcome of this investigation by fellow CoP Kurt Walton is pre-determined. The cabal strike, strike and strike again!!
If I were to roll a dice, there is a probability that one of these numbers will be on top, ie,? 1, 2,3,4,5, or 6. Is it a coincidence that only white Britons, members of the cabal are selected to lead investigations. Or that the Governor(s) is very deliberate is not wanting blacks to conduct investigations??
Their injustice is so raw in your face
They will quicker ???? on us than help us. Adding to that, we are our biggest enemy.
