Fingers pointed at Thorne’s moves

Second Vice-President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), trade unionist Walter Maloney, says he believes the current factions that have evolved within the party all started when Opposition Leader Ralph Thorne named two senators before meeting with Executive Council members.

He added that Thorne also made a move to disband a shadow cabinet named by then-president Ronnie Yearwood which then added gas to the fire.

Maloney made the claims during an emotional town hall meeting held at The Ellerslie School recently.
