Correction: Since the initial publication of this article, I-Witness News was informed that while G777, a vehicle assigned to the office of the Prime Minister, was at the airport when Former Registrar Tamara Gibson-Marks arrived, it was there to receive relatives of Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves’ family, and not Gibson-Marks, as earlier reported.
We believe that our source acted in good faith but got parts of the information incorrect. We sincerely apologise for any distress that the error has caused.
See below an edited version of our initial report:
Former Registrar of the High a Court Tamara Gibson-Marks returned to St. Vincent around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, three months after she left the country on the heels of her sudden resignation at the request of Attorney-General Judith Jones-Morgan.
Gibson-Marks left St. Vincent for St. Lucia on May 21, about 90 minutes after ones-Morgan demanded her resignation during a 30 minute meeting.
The Director of Audit, Commission of Police, and Director of Public Persecutions are involved in an investigation of Gibson-Marks’ conduct as Registrar.
The investigation has found that thousands of dollars from an account that she held in trust is unaccounted for, sources in the know have said.
A source told I-Witness News on Wednesday that Gibson-Marks was wearing a hat and sunglasses when she arrived at the E.T. Joshua Airport.
The source said that a lawyer met Gibson-Marks at the airport. A vehicle known to belong to one of the former registrar’s close relatives left the airport shortly after her arrival.
The court is expected to hear in early September an application by the Attorney General for Gibson-Marks to show cause why she should not be disbarred from practicing law in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The St. Lucia born Gibson-Marks is wife of former Unity Labour Party senator, lawyer Ronald “Ronnie” Marks.
Welcome home, Tamara. Please don’t worry; nothing bad will ever happen to you.
With apologies to POSER, ALL ME EYE-WATER GARNE !!!
ISN’T Gibson-Marks, in truth, “… a member of Dr. Ralph Gonsalves relatives … “?
IS SHE no longer . . . ? Is she, or isn’t she ?
I seem to remember that Mrs. Marks was an IN-LAW or conjugal COUSIN of Mr. Gonsalves – – – am I incorrect here ?
HAS the said REGISTRAR so fallen from grace, that she is not any more counted as Ralphie’s cousin/in-law, the beloved spouse of his cousin, legal chambers colleague, ULP big-wig, ULP senator – – – or any sort of personal, familial, business, legal or political RELATIVE at all, at all ???
Well, when FAMILY mash up !
Ah just ah wander — AH WEY MEK DEY MASH UP ?

WHEN IS FAMILY not FAMILY????
HOW DOES ONE BECOME “NO RELATIVE” ?
Sorry …. NO LONGER A RELATIVE ?
SO, the copycat marxist-leninist DOAN COUNT THE RESIGNED REGISTRAR AS ONE OF HIS RELATIVES?
Now, ah mean to say, at least FOR OLE TIMES SAKE, yuh go gee the gal a li’l RIDE FROM THE AIRPORT in the LONG-SUFFERING TAXPAYERS’ official limousine?
OR, was it BECAUSE I-WITNESS NEWS SPOTTED YOU – – – so yuh had was to say something else to SAVE FACE with the enraged public.
INVESTIGATE THE MISSING ASSETS AT THE REGISTRY, for the records’ sake and FOR THE SAKE OF VINCENTIAN POSTERITY.
RETRIBUTION SOON COME!

Hide the CUCUMBER HEEL.
Similarly, ley we have CUCUMBER HEEL POLITICS.
And they used to mercilessly mock Joshua in dey COMMUNIST MOUTH-PIECE rag-sheet.
Wey EYE NAH, HEART NAH gri….er SUFFER.
My dear your safe, information is power and we know you have information to make this government look worse. All you have to is promise to pay back the rest of the money and all will be well.
Mrs Marks must have made a deal with someone in the higher ups that she will not be charged. Having given that assurance she came home to SVG. She will be going to court and will not contest the charge to disbarred her from SVG jurisdiction. She will make arrangement (which I believe is already done) to repay the money. She will then left and go back to st. lucia and practice law and will visit SVG occasionally to piss in our faces. That is what is happening in SVG for justice. That’s a similar arrangement that was made when government handle the people pension money without permission.
Isn’t it seemingly odd that the funds allegedly gone missing have dwindled from “almost $300k” to a mere “21, 000.00 plus dollars” . Guess the balance has already been properly accounted for.
