"And it was because of the intervention of people like Senator Peyreffitte, the Mayor of San Ignaico and Santa Elena, the former party leader and that we were able to, I was made to contact the Prime Minister who instructed to proceed with the granting a station bail."
Jules Vasquez
"Are you grateful then to the prime minister for interceding and facilitating your release?"
Alberto August, Charged for Cybercrime
"Yeah it is like for example, Dean Barrow the former prime minister told me this several years ago. It is like me for example saying right if you shoot me in my foot I will thank you for picking me up and taking me to the hospital. You should not have shot me in the foot in the firstance so whatever intervention done on the part of the prime minister was as a result of the stupidness of one of his ministers."
"Man they people with they kind of character should not be wielding the power."
"This man is unfit totally unfit to lead the police department that is why we are facing the level of criminality in this country. Unfit the you wonder what it is then that he discusses in these police meetings if you mind is so small and your skin is so thin."
