Island Construction boss and PLP political candidate Zane DeSilva has spoken publicly for the first time about the BHC and his relationship with Premier Ewart Brown and MP Nelson Bascome.

Mr. DeSilva, pictured, talks about rumours of a deal struck with Dr. Brown to export asbestos to Cuba and about the roles of Dr. Brown and Mr. Bascome as consultants to Island Construction.

Mr. DeSilva, like others within the PLP, says the BHC controversy is a ploy to remove the party from office in the upcoming general election. He is seeking election in Constituency 30, Southampton East Central. In a wide-ranging interview, he also talks about how he made peace with his father and what it's like to be white in the PLP.
