Cap Bank Writes to Prime Minister Mitchell

“I respectfully remind you of your letter to Sir K. Dwight Venner in which you expressed the urgency  to have the Capital Bank matter resolved “because of the fundamental importance to our economy and the potential negative impact on the entire  Grenadian population if the issues are not resolved expeditiously”.  At this time you may need to reiterate the contents once again to the special attention of your colleagues of the Monetary Council of the ECCB…”

Letter from Michael Stephen Bartholomew, CapBank

“From your verbal excretion, portions of which appeared on page 7 of the Grenada Today newspaper, July 7, 2006, I gathered:  (1) That the governor of the ECCB, from his lofty perch in ST.

Response to CEO of Capital Bank

“…… I thank you for making this letter public knowledge.  This letter certainly lends support to my speculation that, perhaps, you are wielding undue political influence.  Indeed the publishing of this letter suggests, Sir, that tail is wagging dog!!   That letter is truly, truly amazing.”
