FNM MP A Step Closer To Standing Trial
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Long Island MP Adrian Gibson is one step closer to standing trial on accusations of corruption while serving as Executive Chairman of W&SC.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Long Island Member of Parliament Adrian Gibson is one step closer to standing trial on accusations of corruption while serving as the Executive Chairman of the Water and Sewerage Corporation.
The Free National Movement MP is accused of conspiring with others to financially benefit from contracts awarded by the corporation between 2018 and 2021.
Gibson, his cousin, Rashae Gibson, Jerome Missick, Joann Knowles, Peaches Farquharson and Elwood Donaldson Jr., the former General Manager of the Corporation, denied charges of bribery, fraud and money laundering at an arraignment before Senior Justice Bernard Turner.
Turner said he planned to assign the case to Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson for trial.
Murrio Ducille, KC, who represents MP Gibson, Knowles and Missick, objected to the assignment.
Ducille didn’t give any reasons, but said, “I would prefer another court.”
As a result, Justice Turner will hear arguments in chambers on Monday, September 26, before the trial assignment is finalized.
Attorneys Raphael Moxey, Brian Dorsette and Donald Saunders said they had no difficulty with any judge.
