And while the PM rejects the censorship argument-he was a lot less clear when we asked him about the status of the much-discussed BTL acquisition of Speednet.
The stumbling block last time was the Social Security Board of Directors led by Chandra Nisbet Cansino-they did not agree to the investment and asked for more information. But Nisbet left in May-and reports are that the board-with new chairlady Sheree Craig-reconsidered the proposal today. The outcome of that meeting is not known-but the Speednet acquisition could be back in play.
Today the PM said he knows nothing of it:
Reporter:
"There is some claim that the Briceño shares in Speednet have been sold off. That's part one to that question. You should know the answer, I think?"
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"You know the answer."
Reporter:
"I really don't."
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"You know the answer."
Reporter:
"And then the other part of it, we understood the SSB was to be deliberating on that matter. Do you know if they've concluded that deliberation?"
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"I have no idea."
Reporter:
"And the first part?"
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"The first part, you know the answer, so I won't answer a foolish question. You know the answer."
