PM says he has support of CARICOM amidst bribery accusation

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves says he has received the support of his fellow Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders amid reports that an investor had left a bag containing money at his office. “I put my faith and trust in the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Caribbean. … I have nothing to hide,” Gonsalves said on WE FM radio in one of his several calls to two radio stations here about the allegation. Gonsalves, who was among CARICOM leaders who ended a two-day summit in Haiti on Tuesday, said that on Sunday that a man, whom he did not name, had told him that two journalists from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) had shown him a video in which Opposition Leader Arnhim Eustace charged that Buccament Bay Resort investor, Dave Ames, had taken the money to the Office of the Prime Minister.
