In the letter sent to Richards the National Alliance faction said for the sake of ‘good governance' clarity is needed on the support of the existing council.
In a second letter to the chairman the party leader responded to the letter sent to them on November 18 informing them of another council meeting, it said when it had been decided during the meeting of November 3rd to move the agenda point 6 - The Report of the General Audit Chamber 2002 - 2005 - to Monday November 24th it was done in consultation with our faction, as the agenda point had been requested by your faction. Regretfully you have decided now, as chairman of the Island Council to move the date of the meeting to December 1st without consulting with our faction. This we regret very much.
Marlin further explained that on December 1 2008 two of their members would be in off island in connection with the handling of the 2009 draft budget of the Central Government.
The councilman advised the governor to get in contact with him so that they could both find a feasible date for the meeting.
