The Empty Political Promises of our Government
Jersey Evening Post Reports that:
FORMER government chief executive Charlie Parker received a £500,000 severance payment after leaving his job, it has been revealed. The pay-off was made despite Chief Minister John Le Fondré giving assurances shortly after Mr Parker’s resignation last November that there would be ‘no additional payouts beyond his contractual entitlement’.
Bailiwick Express reports that:
"The Government is refusing to release the minutes of crucial meetings in which its former CEO’s second job and £500,000 departure payout were discussed – despite having previously pledged to publish them “as soon as they are ready.”"
Just remember them next year when it is election time, and how much their pledges are worth - nothing! This government's only pledge to is to absolute secrecy when anything might emerge which could lead to criticism of them. And they have a shed-load of excuses to avoid presenting anything which could be damaging.

It so reminds me of Yes Minister:
"The Official Secrets Act is not there to protect Secrets, it is there to protect Officials."
