We also spoke. To Shyne Barrow about it. He's currently travelling in the Caribbean island nation of Grenada where he is making a sort of official visit. He told us via Zoom that the other persons registered at the address just moved and forgot to transfer:
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"Once I have my utility bills that nobody can't disenfranchise me and the fact that people register at addresses and move all the time. If 10 people had gone to transfer and register during July and August along with me in that residence, then you could claim something dubious."
"Those are people that have been there forever and them not transferring, that's on them. That has nothing to do with me. They don't have utility bills. They don't pay light and pay lease there. I do. So, I'm proud to register for my garrison. I'm proud to register for the great Mesopotamia constituency, which I have all interests there."
"And nobody, Dorla Vaughan doesn't go to sleep with me at night. Gary Ayuso doesn't go to sleep with me at night. Nobody knows my personal affairs and where I lay my head. Right? And I have my witnesses. I have my watchman. I have my caretakers."
"There are people that could testify when I come and when I go."
Jules Vasquez
"Those are people who are registered there. Did you register them or did your predecessor register them? Are they faithful voters?"
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"That was from 2018 and different people have lived at that property. I just started renting that property maybe two years ago, maybe two and a half years ago. So, everybody in the Mesopotamia is a UDP. I mean, come on."
We'll have more about Shyne's visit to Grenada later on in the news.
