Former Premier Ewart Brown’s complaints against the Governor have been met with a muted response from his successor, and the party he once led has no comment.And the Opposition One Bermuda Alliance has labelled Dr Brown’s concerns as a “distraction”.Yesterday, The Royal Gazette put a series of questions to Premier Paula Cox seeking her administration’s position on Dr Brown’s concerns.But the Premier’s spokesperson issued a terse statement, saying Government had already made its position clear on the legalities of the forged cheques conspiracy.At a press conference on Tuesday, Dr Brown gave outgoing Governor Sir Richard Gozney a failing grade for his tenure here, saying he had harmed the Government and people of Bermuda by his conduct.Dr Brown’s concerns centred around what he said was the Governor’s failure to protect Bermuda by requesting the assistance of the Canadian Government to ensure that criminal conspirators who had forged cheques in a bid to discredit his administration were brought to justice.And, he said, the Governor had made comments implying that he was involved in criminality.The Premier was asked whether she agreed with Dr Brown that the Foreign Office should investigate the Governor’s actions here and admonish him.This newspaper also sought reaction from the Premier to Dr Brown’s request that the Foreign Office seek the assistance of the Canadian Government in pursuing the forged cheques conspirators.“The Government actions taken in respect of the legal issues arising from the forged cheques is a matter of public record and has been set out in response to the Office of the Auditor General,” said the Premier’s spokesperson, insisting later that that would be the extent of her comments.Dr Brown believes that the Governor’s actions toward him were motivated by his anger and embarrassment over his 2009 decision as Premier to bring four Uighurs to Bermuda following their release from unjust imprisonment by the US in Guantánamo Bay.The British Government said that it should have been consulted before the Uighurs were accepted here.Dr Brown made the decision to accept the Uighurs without consulting his own Cabinet, angering many within his party as well as the general public.But Dr Brown insisted that his actions were motivated by humanitarian concerns and that total secrecy was required for the successful transfer of the former captives.“The OBA sees no point in commenting on Dr Brown’s feud with the Governor and his criticism of the Bermuda-British connection,” reads a statement from the official Opposition’s spokesperson.“We are concentrating on what really matters to the people of Bermuda today.“They face a shocking array of challenges — unemployment, diminishing paycheques, house invasions, gang shootings, stalled education reform, massive government debt.“The OBA is focused on doing what needs to be done to meet these challenges to make the lives of Bermudians safer and more secure. Anything else is just a distraction.”Kim Swan, of the United Bermuda Party said that his party noted that the “timing of this debacle is on the threshold of the next general election.”“This debacle centres around serious events which occurred during Dr Hon Ewart Brown’s controversial tenure and we feel that due diligence is required to ensure that fairness and justice prevails in these matters,” he said.“However, we remain most concerned for serious social and economic problems engulfing Bermuda (prolific murders, gang culture, robberies, job losses, etc) as the responsibility to govern and provide leadership in Bermuda is ongoing.“Hence, we will keep our undivided attention focused on solutions to those issues directly impacting our people and on finding ways that will get Bermuda back on the right path again.”Dr Brown told The Royal Gazette on Tuesday that he had not consulted with the Premier on his actions because he felt it was a matter of him representing his administration and that the current administration “has quite a bit on its plate anyway”.He indicated that he had no concern that the PLP would be embarrassed by the latest developments.And he did not rule out taking legal action against the Governor personally.“Clearing one’s name is an important personal exercise and that is regardless of the outcome or the response. It is important that we set the record straight.”
