I personally know the Major as a serious capital diamond minner for the past nine years. 14 pieces of diamond is just a minute figure from the larger parcel i saw with him before this incident. The Mayor is a well to do personality and a God fearing man. He is not making a baseless accusation, but exact picture of the incident.

From the first statement, the mayor was based on bread and by beating him now we are hearing 14 pieces of diamond and also a huge amount of money. Please those who are investigating between LAC and the Mayor fair the Lord Almighty God and the day of judgment. There is an AUDIO, to the effect of the Mayor which is he never measures diamonds and that kind of money he is claiming. LET FAIR GOD AND JUDGEMENT DAY.
