Leader of the National Alliance and Member of Parliament, William Marlin, on Wednesday afternoon strongly refuted the latest allegations of Minister Maurice Lake in reference to a bag of documents he found in the office last year June.
This again confirms that Minister Lake is nothing else but a pathological liar William Marlin reiterated on Wednesday. Every time Minister Lake is exposed with one lie, he changes the subject and tries to direct the focus away from him and on to something different.
Why would I leave a bag with documents in the office and tag them to be burnt? And how can the Minister explain, that only now, after being in office for the past 9 months he is disclosing to the public that he found a bag containing documents that I wanted burnt. That makes absolutely no sense, but only serves to show that Minister Lake continues to misuse his immunity as Minister to drum up lies in a feeble attempt to make himself look good.
Shortly after taking office, Minister Lake announced that he had ordered an investigation into asphalt that had been illegally removed from the premises of the airport. Minister Lake never exposed the results of his so called investigation.
Shortly after that, Minister Lake was ordering an investigation into the illegal removal of sand from the Ring Road in the Foga area. Again, after slandering innocent people’s name, Minister Lake never informed the public on his findings following another so called investigation.
Minister Maurice Lake had also issued false information about the former Minister signing off on a contract in the Foga area. Minister Lake ordered the work to be halted and publicly announced that the contractor had to close the trench close to the home of former Commissioner Miss. Patricia Flanders. Failure by the contractor to do so by a particular Sunday afternoon by 6 pm would result in Minister Maurice Lake having the trench closed by a third party at the expense of the contractor.
When the contractor had their lawyer write Minister Lake a letter, he quickly shut up about closing the trench and agreed to let the contractor complete that section of the works. Again, the Minister was not man enough to come back to the same public, who he promised that he would see to it that the trench was closed by the Sunday afternoon 2 pm.
Minister Lake believes that by constantly running to the media and issuing press releases he will be able to convince them that he is doing a good job. But he is dead wrong. The people of St. Maarten have realized now that Minister Lake is nothing less than a pathological liar.
A Minister who repeatedly lies to the Parliament of Sint Maarten is not deserving of the respect of the people.
