Keith Gerein: UCP leadership revelations a scandal of ethics, integrity and hypocrisy
What we do know is that for Kenney, as of today, this is a scandal of ethics, integrity and hypocrisy.
For
months, we’ve heard the UCP leader’s adamant rejections that there was
any kind of plot afoot during the 2017 party leadership race to have
Jeff Callaway run a kamikaze campaign to weaken Kenney’s chief rival
Brian Jean.
When a handful of UCP members started coming forward
with allegations that Kenney’s and Callaway’s campaign had worked
together, Kenney denied it.
When an audio recording emerged of UCP strategists discussing the kamikaze scheme, Kenney dismissed it.
When
Elections Commissioner Lorne Gibson started issuing fines in relation
to his investigation into the Callaway campaign, Kenney suggested it had
nothing to do with his campaign.
