CHIEF Minister Terry Le Sueur has rejected claims of a conspiracy at the highest level of government over the suspension of the Island’s police chief.

Deputy Bob Hill wrote to Senator Le Sueur last week urging him to show leadership ‘before the matter runs further out of control, further damage is done and needless public expense is incurred’.

Strongly disputing the suggestion of a government conspiracy, Senator Le Sueur told the Deputy that he was satisfied the matter was not running out of control and he hoped the outcome of the investigation could be completed and published soon.

Speaking to the JEP today, Senator Le Sueur said: ‘I agree that this matter has gone on for too long and I have told the Deputy that in my letter, and hope to see it sorted out as soon as possible.’
