Criminal investigation into Walwyn's wall commences - CoP Mathews
When pressed as to when it was started and when will it end, Mr Mathews confirmed it started “last week following the conclusion of the scoping excises conducted by the police.”
Mr Mathews noted, he was not sure when the criminal investigation will end “but it’s not going to be quick.” It is unclear who is the target of the criminal investigation, however, the Auditor General (AG), Sonia M. Webster pointed the finger at former Legislator Myron V. Walwyn who was the one who commissioned the project that ended up with a price tag of $1.6 M.
Tale of corruption
Ms Webster detailed in her audit report a tale of corruption over the ESHS wall, with price overruns, no value for money and work paid for but not completed.
The Permanent Secretary, who is the Accounting Officer in the Ministry of Education and Culture noted the then Minister Walwyn was in charge of the ESHS wall, as it was his “Pet project” and had hired a Project Manager to sign off on payments.
Mr Walwyn, one of the most controversial and divisive personalities in local politics was defeated by voters in the February 25, 2019 elections after two terms [2011-2019] in office.

This kind of nonsense need to stop; politicians or whomever need to be held accountable. We need justice for the wall money!
