Minister Bush stripped of Home Affairs ministry and suspended for two weeks

(CMR) Premier Wayne Panton has made it clear that the PACT government will hold its own members accountable for any constitutional breaches and its Ministerial Code of Conduct. Minister Bernie Bush has had the Ministry of Home Affairs stripped from him and reassigned to Sabrina Turner effective Monday, April 11, 2022.

“We all agreed to hold ourselves to certain standards of conduct when adopting the Ministerial Code of Conduct last year.”

Premier Wayne Panton

The decision was made after Bush's “conduct and comments in relation to the staffing of the Fire Service” which the Premier says is an infringement of Section 55 of the Constitution and breach of Section 2.4 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct. It was also shared in the press release that other comments he made as Minister contravene Section 2.6.3 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct.

BOBO 89.1FM

According to CMR sources, that section of the constitution deals with the infringement of ministers in relation to civil service staffing issues. As previously divulged by CMR Bush told fire officers during a meeting that their next Chief Fire Officer would have been Brevon Elliott. Recent port issues have been blamed on that desire to fulfill that promise by circumventing the lawful procedural requirements for a secondment.

It is also understood that he made comments to another media house and elsewhere that were both unbecoming of a minister and considered inappropriate which would have been in breach of the code of conduct. CMR had previously understood there were tensions with Bush over comments he made about the Regiment and Governor's Office.

In addition to the above, the Premier also required Minister Bush to apologize for his conduct to the Governor, Deputy Governor and the former Acting Chief Officer in the Ministry of Home Affairs, and he will be subject to two weeks of unpaid leave effective Monday, 18 April.

Parliamentary Secretary Issac Rankine will act as Minister of Youth, Sports, Culture and Heritage during Bush's unpaid leave.

The released noted that Bush has accepted his punishment and and shared:

“This has been a valuable lesson for me and I accept the consequences of my action. The Premier continues to have my full confidence and support.”

The Premier also shared his continued hope for the future for Minister Bush by noting that despite the disciplinary action taken:

“I believe Minister Bush can make a substantial contribution to the good of our country in the areas of youth, sports, culture and heritage. These subjects alight well with his interests and experience and his passion. I am optimistic that the unfortunate events of the past will bear no reflection on his future performance.”

He also noted that he was hopeful that the MPs would adopt a similar Code of Conduct for all members of Parliament to observe.
