Guardian Newspaper Staff are Once Again Being Paid

Amid the confusion over which version of the Guardian Newspaper is legitimate and who the rightful leader of the U.D.P. is, last week saw Alfonso Noble taking to Wave Radio with some serious accusations. He claimed that Moses “Shyne” Barrow was undermining the Guardian staff by withholding their week’s salary, instructing a signatory not to sign the checks. Today, Noble explained that when he went public with this information, Albert Area Representative Tracy Taegar-Panton was unaware of the issue. She quickly took steps to ensure the staff got paid. While Panton declined an interview to discuss the two versions of the newspaper, Noble assured that she has made sure the staff will receive their pay moving forward.

 

Alfonso Noble, Editor, Guardian Newspaper

“When I had went public, our party leader was not aware of the situation. If you would have noticed during the morning show, I took a break. I took a break from the show, um, to come out and take a call. And I generally offer the respect, that kind of respect to our party leader. And, um, she, um, told me in no uncertain terms, you will get paid, that whatever you’re exposing, you need to control yourself on that because this is not the way of the United Democratic Party doing business, and she assured me that we were going to be paid. We were paid on that very day. As a matter of fact, immediately after the morning show, checks were issued, and everybody and staff that needed to be paid was paid. The party leader is continuing to maintain that position until our accounting systems are put in order.”
