Although Minister Gary Griffith says he is politically neutral I have my reservations about how true that is if he is still shaking hands with cabinet members. Maybe that's a safe stance to take in an election year.
He was fired because he was an obstacle, he was fired because he spoke the truth, he was fired because he did not want to keep it "hush-hush" As they expected him to therefore he was PUNISHED for being HONEST. Firing him was such a huge mistake, the PM will not recover from it.
Gary Griffith is doing a much better job as the commissioner of police than when he was the national security minister.
