PNP Rowe in trouble?

The PNP candidate in the by-election for the West Portland seat could be in trouble with Political Ombudsman, Bishop Herro Blair for utterances he made on a political platform in the parish on Wednesday night.
Kenneth Rowe had charged that to be victorious over his rival Daryl Vaz, he would out-think him, outwork him and intimidate him.
The political ombudsman said Rowe’s comments might be in breach of the Political Code of Conduct.
Blair said the PNP candidate’s approach to intimidate his opponent in an effort to outpace him in the by-election could be construed as victimisation.
The political referee said he would revisit the Code of Conduct and would either write to Rowe or call him in to have discussion on the matter.
Yesterday, a release from the JLP stated that the party had sent letters to Director of Public Prosecutions, Paula Llewellyn, Commissioner of Police, Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin, and the political ombudsman about Rowe’s controversial remarks.
