WATCH OUT FOR A BOMB: Councillor arrested on corruption charges gives warning on Facebook

Kim Brown-Lawrence

— the councillor for the Brown’s Town division in St Ann who is charged

alongside with former Education Minister Ruel Reid and others — is promising fireworks

in the case.

“Just sit

back and watch the process cause a BOMB AGO DROP,” she wrote on Facebook over

the weekend.

Brown-Lawrence,

President of the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) Fritz Pinnock, Ruel Reid, wife

Sharen and their daughter Sharelle were arrested last week Wednesday (Oct 9)

They have been offered bail. Brown Lawrence is charged with conspiracy to

defraud and possession of criminal property.

However,

Brown-Lawrence defended herself on Facebook, noting that it was a rumour that

she accepted funds and fixed roads with money allegedly channelled from the

CMU.

“It is a

rumour that I am involved with the CMU or the Ministry of Education. When the

truth comes out about April-November last year 2018, you are going to say ‘then

a dat deh dem kick off the women door and frighten her kids dem fa 5 a.m.

(sic)’,” Brown Lawrence wrote.

“Just know

that politics is involve and they will do anything, so I have to be careful

(sic),” Brown-Lawrence wrote.
