Businessman and restaurateur Peter George says Attorney General John Jeremie’s statements in Parliament on Wednesday about the “1%” group in society was an “attack” that was met with dismay.

In a WhatsApp statement to the Express last evening, he said: “I am out of the country and have not had appropriate time to speak to many people. What I can say is that there is a profound sense of dismay at the recent attack that has come from the second highest office in the land. Such dialogue is not merely divisive, but dangerous. Some time will be needed to process this before any formal response.”
