Grenada Prime Minister., Tillman Thomas
Prime Minister Tillman Thomas said he is “deeply concerned” that an unauthorised promise made by immediate past Environment Minister Joseph Gilbert may have seriously compromised his government and could lead to “significant damaging consequences.”
Gilbert’s appointment was revoked Thursday by the Governor-General at the request of Thomas a day after an emergency Cabinet meeting was called to discuss an alleged deal the minister made with a foreign company for a gambling license.
Thomas, in a national address delivered hours after the decision was announced, said this was done in the public interest and “to preserve the integrity of the Government of Grenada and to maintain the highest standards of Cabinet decision – making.”
