    This is long overdue. You remember the GRA Rev. who could not mention his age because of corruption, when he faced the committee of enquiry and Sam George asked him a simple question.
    Your time is up.

    Very good. But all these arrests must yield results - ie jail terms and refunds of our monies. PDS, NATIONAL CATHEDRAL, SPUTNIK VACCINE, AGYAPA, AMBULANCE SERVICING, STADIUM REHABILITATION ETC, are still outstanding.
