Supporters from the constituency represented by Anguilla's Home Affairs Minister on Wednesday told the British-appointed governor to back off and stop calling for the minister's suspension.
Governor Allistair Harrison has called on Chief Minister Hubert Hughes to investigate allegations of misconduct on the part of Minister Walcott Richardson.
But protesting supporters of the minister on Wednesday delivered a letter to the governor, contending that he was unfairly targeting Mr. Richardson.
Governor Harrison said in response that he was acting in the interest of good governance in Anguilla, and urged Mr. Richardson's supporters to endorse the call for a full investigation to have the matter resolved.
Chief Minister Hughes, who has himself been at odds with the governor over budget matters, says Governor Harrison is attempting to get back at Minister Walcott.
He says that's because the minister has refused to approve work permits for non-nationals applying for positions that the minister said Anguillans are qualified to perform.
