Dear Sir,

I have one piercing question. Why would The Royal Gazette publish comments from a Government Minister that you failed to substantiate through a corroborating source?

Comments made by Patricia Gordon-Pamplin were made in her official capacity of Minister of Immigration, but the comments made had nothing to do with the subject seeking immigration approval.

In other words, Betty Furbert-Woolridge’s (subject of the minister’s comments) resignation or stepping down or limited responsibilities or relief of duties as the presiding elder of St Paul AME Church has nothing to do with this minister and should have never been announced or updated to the media at the minister’s pleasure.

The employment of Ms Furbert-Woolridge does not fall within the remit of the minister’s duties, as The Royal Gazette would have obtained the information independent of this minister and without her help in any regard.

The gloating and continued employment politics have taken on the most nefariously odious path to heaven.
