  • Money stolen from Tobias Clement’s secretary by cleaners
  • Secretary’s office space is in open lobby area
  • Money also stolen from a security officer

Opposition Leader, Tobias Clement, believes that the police should press charges on the 2 young men who admitted to stealing money from his secretary while her bag was in his office in the parliament building.

“The money was stolen on Friday and we have now learnt who are the culprits,” said Clement. Since taking up the post of Leader of the Opposition in April, he has expressed concern about the accommodation for his secretary in the parliament building. “Her office is in the open lobby area of the Parliament building, so she has to leave her bag in my office area. She left the bag there and because no one was in my office, the money was stolen by 2 young men who work for the cleaning company assigned to clean parliament,” he said. “They were caught on camera and when police picked them up, they confessed to committing the act. The owner of the company has agreed to repay the EC$700 to my secretary.”

Clement disclosed that money was also stolen from a security officer who had left his bag in the safe area for security officers’ personal items while on duty at the parliament building.

“Now you see why I am concerned about my secretary having her space in the open lobby area. She needs her own private office space. I don’t think it is right for the police to not press charges because the owner of the money has agreed to repay. These guys committed a criminal offence and should face the consequences,” he said.

He questioned the type of background checks which are done for the workers of the cleaning company. “It’s quite obvious that this company which was hired by the Ministry of Works is not vetting staff.” He is calling for the Ministry of Works in conjunction with Parliament to provide his secretary with better accommodation. “She had to leave her bag, and this provided an opportunity. She needs better accommodation,” he said.

    The contents of the above story is totally incorrect. How could you allow false news to be printed to further your political career? One of the man you are accusing is innocent. Have you check the background of each to see the great difference? Have you looked at the footage on camera properly? Have you taken fingerprints? What about the false statement above that a confession was given by both men? Didn’t the innocent one’s statement clearly stated he had no idea that this crime was being committed? Does that sound like a confession? Didn’t the boss of the innocent man drove him to the station after a few hours of work? What quality of leader you are if you are willing to send an innocent man to jail ? You have not checked your facts..Do the right thing. You are allowing a good citizen’s name and reputation to be soiled….YOU ARE LEFT TO GOD ALMIGHTY

    Ok let’s get this right, she left her pocket book in your office and the money was stolen, then you should have secured your office because if she had it with her then she would still have it lol. Now if you only had one pocket book to secure and and you could not, then can we trust you to secure anything of value as opposition leader.
