Jerseys Chief Minister and buddies, doing business in a major finance centre.

No need to apologise, from the JEP letters page

From Lenny Harper, former deputy chief, States of Jersey Police.

I WAS somewhat bemused to hear that your Chief Minister has called for an apology from myself and Graham Power.

And on minutes taken at very important meetings.

Bill Ogley head man of all the Jersey departmental chief executives, decides not to get a secretary or clerk from the States greffier to attend the very important meeting, to suspend the Chief of police, if he will not resign.

Mr Ogley, takes it upon himself to scribble minutes on a pad which at a later date he then orders to be typed up.

Minutes are supposed to be a true reflection of discussion and views expressed.

Anyone could on reflection, make a mistake regarding the taking of minutes, this is the reason for the minutes to be signed off by all parties.

The truth is that Mr Graham Power did not sign the typed version. This in itself should send warning bells. Mr Graham Power as the Police of Chief (retired) is entitled to question minutes from a meeting that he attended.

The question has to be asked, why when asked about future protocol, in the States Assembly,has Terry Le Suer not issued instructions that all high profile senior meetings in the future will be tape recorded and minutes kept by a third party, which can then be sited (as with Hansard) as a true record.

Instead it will be at the DISCRETION of senior civil servants how minutes will be taken says the Chief Minister. What are you afraid of, or trying to hide Chief Minister Le Suer of Jerseys Government ?

No wonder Jerseys administration is getting a reputation for being corrupt. This view is underpinned by the actions of Jerseys Chief Minister , who is now in the habit of giving silly, and strange non fact based answers, to back benchers in the States Assembly. These can be read on the gov. web site, for the moment at least.

On a second point of interest, how on Gods earth can chief minister Terry Le Suer ever dare to quote the Wiltshire report, when roughly 68% of it was redacted ( for redacted read hidden ). Then to make matters worse no right of reply was allowed by those being criticized. This is supposed to pass as Justice in Jersey.
