I have been bombarded with several calls and emails accusing me of being contracted by the People’s Progressive Party to conduct surveillance and tap phones of certain politicians from the opposition party. In view of this disturbing development, I wish to categorically, on behalf of the president of Strategic Advisory Services, Mr. Joe Hunt of Wisconsin, USA and myself, that at no time have I, nor the Strategic Advisory Services, which is a private investigation and security consultancy firm, been contracted by the PPP to spy on opposition members.
SAS, of which I am proud to be the local director, is a professional organisation made up of highly-trained specialists, and our policy has always been to stay clear of any political activity.
I further state that there is no need for the PPP to retain us to monitor the elements when they have at their disposal the Central Intelligence Unit; the police Special Branch;the army intelligence unit; and two other state-controlled agencies capable of conducting espionage and counter-espionage activity.
As a responsible private sector body my agency remains duty-bound to report to the authorities any illegal activity that is observed while conducting private, clandestine field operations that can affect the smooth running of the government.
SAS also has a policy that they will be loyal to the government of the day.
