A special unit has been created within the police force with the sole purpose of investigating the campaigning practices of the PLP and DNA, Fox Hill MP Fred Mitchell claimed.
While Carl Bethel, chairman of the governing FNM, said Mr Mitchell’s claims are false, a police officer told The Tribune last night he was recently assigned to the new unit.
Mr Mitchell said the creation of such a unit would support his party’s long-held belief that the government, through the Ministry of National Security, has long used security information in the political arena.
Given an “out of control crime rate”, Mr Mitchell said, it is alarming the government would use the police for unrelated matters.
