Moe mystery

Barbados Labour Party (BLP) campaign manager, Dr Jerome Walcott, on Friday cast a shadow of doubt over an announcement that former Government Senator, Lucille Moe has been retained as a political strategist for the Democratic Labour Party (DLP).

When asked whether the appointment, which was first reported by this newspaper, would pose a challenge to the BLP’s campaign, Dr Walcott replied: “As far as I am aware, the person that you might be speaking about was at Ilaro Court for several hours yesterday afternoon.

“So if she is working with the DLP, I don’t know what she would be doing at Ilaro Court at the same time,” the BLP campaign manager added.

News of Senator Moe’s appointment with the DLP was confirmed late Thursday evening by the party’s General Secretary, Derek Alleyne, as well as numerous sources within the party.

However, DLP president, Verla DePeiza, has continuously stopped short of confirming the appointment. (KS)
