Media release by Premier Alan Winde on the suspension of Minister Albert Fritz
In the past week serious allegations pertaining to the conduct of Minister Albert Fritz were brought to my attention.
I have summoned the Minister and informed him of these allegations, as well as my decision to suspend him with immediate effect, which he has accepted. I have initiated a full investigation which must proceed on an unhindered basis. Minister Fritz has offered his full cooperation in this investigation.
An update will be provided in due course.
