2) A damning statement is how Opposition Senator and Lawyer Dr. Linton Lewis described the assertion made by ULP senator Julian Francis on Tuesday. In speaking to the issue of Senator Fredricks re-arrest last week, Senator Francis said and I quote “let’s assume for one minute that the NDP is in government and there is some charges brought against Senator Julian Francis in Parliament where I was charged for perjury and my defence lawyers got the magistrate to throw out the charges, you mean the NDP government was going to sit down and accept that as the final verdict and not pursue?” end of quote. Senator Dr. Linton Lewis said as a shrewd politician this statement made by Senator Francis has left him and other Vincentians astounded. It has tremendous amount of political implications, Dr. Lewis added. A statement of this sort gives the impression that the ULP determines what the judiciary does. Dr. Lewis is urging Vincentians to make their presence felt at the protest meetings that the Opposition party will be hosting in the upcoming week, as this statement made by Senator Francis is deserving of a protest.
