Neither accepts that there was any improper conduct on their part. <b>I am not in a position, having heard the competing accounts, to decide which version of events is accurate</b>, or even which versions are more accurate than others. I mention these matters simply to draw attention to the existence of differences between Mr Power and two senior colleagues within the political and administrative spheres public sector of the States of Jersey (<b>Chief Minister Walker and Chief Executive Ogley</b>).</i><br /><br />If Napier himself can't work out who's version of events was accurate, what chance has anyone got?! Doesn't say much for our dear leaders, does it?<br /><br />A report with no input from W Kinnard or Lenny Harper?

No. Who can imagine a voluntary and honest soul searching by those in power which could ever lead to effective change? Nobody. The group in power locally may try every which way to look good to the outside but the international conventional wisdom is that Jersey insiders are utterly rotten to the core.<br /><br />S.

That, I was told by Mr Crich, was in accordance with normal practice. I have to say that, in all the circumstances, it is my view<br />that it would have been wiser to have retained all that was available by way of record of that crucial meeting. But I accept Mr Ogley’s account - that he<br />transcribed the notes immediately after the meeting and that they were subsequently typed up for the parties to sign."<br /><br />But see this on the differences between handwritten notes and write ups:<br /><br />http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/qanda195-19-may.htm<br /><br />"The Cabinet Secretaries' Notebooks are the hand written notes which the Cabinet Secretary makes when he attends Cabinet Meetings as the Senior Secretary. <br /><br />Q. How do the notebooks differ from the official cabinet minutes?<br />A. The main difference is that the official minutes do not attribute views to individual ministers as the Notebooks do. Nor do the items necessarily correspond: the Cabinet Secretary did not note every item, but sometimes included incidental discussion not reflected in the official minutes."TonyTheProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486414706261508994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095270985170721876.post-53713746860212724772010-10-08T20:24:46.547+00:002010-10-08T20:24:46.547+00:00What was the outcome about destroying the suspensi...What was the outcome about destroying the suspension notes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095270985170721876.post-74592824177740231512010-10-08T20:03:20.943+00:002010-10-08T20:03:20.943+00:00Hi Tony.

There is just so much to read its nice just to have some very important sound bites, before one goes into the mane report.<br /><br />I have put up on my Blog a recording of the interview that Chis Rayen did on Radio Jersey today at just after 5 o'clock with Deputy Bob Hill & Ex Chief of Police Mr Graham Power.

I do not understand Jersey Politics however have followed this for months and reached a conclusion months ago that conspiracy is rife, sadly it looks again this will be swept under the carpet.... unless of course Mr Powell sues them not only for their gross failures to act in accordance with the law - defamation his character has been subjected to relating to their gross failures - the stress it has caused him and his family.<br /><br />So many good people have worked so hard to get Graham Powers name cleared........ Perhaps a public apology starting with the Chief Minister - Home Affairs for their gross incompetence to deal with this matter on a professional and legal level.....<br /><br />Thankyou for taking the time to express your views.<br /><br />TAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
