Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson says that his younger brother, Derrick Patterson who is facing drug charges in Grenada would have to take full responsibility for his actions.
In a statement on his Facebook page the Minister noted that his brother is a matured adult of 47 years and must bear full responsibility for the consequences of his actions.
Patterson went on to assure that as a Minister of Government he will not attempt to influence the outcome of the proceedings and denounced those who have attempted to gain political points from the situation.
“Members of my family were shocked to learn of Derrick’s arrest. My mother, my sisters and I are deeply distressed and concerned and are anxious to learn the full details of this unpleasant development,” Patterson said, adding that neither he nor any other member of my family can take responsibility for Derrick’s own, deliberate actions.
