Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson yesterday said that the US$9000 that was deposited into his account in 2017 was a reimbursement for his attendance at a conference in China and he expressed worry at the ability of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) to access his personal information.
Patterson provided an explanation via his Facebook page one day after the PPP posted the information on social media. In a Facebook post on Thursday, the party said “In February of 2017, US$9000 was deposited by China International Contractors into the personal bank account of Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson.”
