Declaring that he disclosed the $31 million Trafigura Beheer transaction with CCOC Associates, in the public interest, Opposition Leader Bruce Golding told journalists Friday that he would never reveal his source.

The Trafigura donation dis-closure in October last year sparked national debate, with the People's National Party (PNP) accusing Mr. Golding of breaching the Banking Act when he divulged confidential information about the PNP-linked account.

Mr. Golding produced bank documents at Gordon House during a press conference with cheques drawn on FirstCaribbean International Bank showing transactions with CCOC Associates, linked to former General Secretary and Information Minister, Colin Campbell.

Protecting whistle-blowers

"Whistle-blowers ... who are not protected now by any law but who will be in the future ... but until such time, whistle-blowers must feel that they can provide information to the Opposition and the Opposition will protect their own confidentiality while pursuing the public interest and that is what we do," he said.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Leader said he was available to the police if and when they decide to pursue an investigation into the matter.
