The Opposition will not let up in its attacks on Government over the ‘Jetgate’ affair, PLP leader Mark Bean said yesterday.

And Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell as well as Senator Michael Fahy should be dumped by the OBA, according to Mr Bean.

Mr Crockwell and Mr Pettingill travelled on a private jet last March to meet US tycoon Nathan Landow with former Premier Craig Cannonier, who stood down on Monday. Also on the trip was Mr Cannonier’s business associated Stephen DaCosta.

It was revealed yesterday that Mr DaCosta had been a paid adviser to Mr Landow prior to the trip, something which Mr Crockwell and Mr Pettingill said they were unaware of at the time.

Mr Pettingill resigned the Attorney General’s post yesterday, but it is understood that was because he is due to take up a senior post with Clarien Bank and was not connected to Jetgate.

It was earlier revealed that Mr Landow and other US businessmen had contributed more than $300,000 to a group linked to the ruling OBA in the run-up to the 2012 General Election.

“The resignation of Mark Pettingill was a necessary step to bring Bermuda together and move Bermudians forward. Yet the dubious actions of the remaining Jetgate Two, Ministers Crockwell and Fahy, must be addressed,” said Mr Bean.

“Minister Fahy collaborated in setting up the mysterious $300,000 account and sat silent when his honesty could have saved the OBA and Bermudians from being subjected to this ongoing train wreck.”

However, last night, a source close to the Minister dismissed Mr Bean’s claims regarding the $300,000 as ‘utter nonsense’.

Mr Bean said that Mr DaCosta was “something the OBA has to deal with, he is not a Member of Parliament and did not face questions over a period of 14 months and mislead the country.”

“The whole Government has to be held to account, from the current Premier down — all of them.”

Mr Bean declined to comment on whether the party might go for a vote of no confidence in Government in the House of Assembly today.

“As part of the rules of the House, that’s always an option — whether we use that option or not remains to be seen.”
