Glendairy's Acting Assistant Chief Officer Cedric Moore, who said yesterday that he wasn't liked by the Acting Superintendent of Prisons, Lieutenant-Colonel John Nurse.

Senior Prison Officer Everton Carrington completed his third day of testimony when the Commission of Inquiry into the burning of Glendairy Prisons continued yesterday.

Carrington, the 47th witness to testify, started his evidence last Friday, and completed more than 13 hours of testimony just before the commission broke for lunch yesterday.

The other witness to give evidence yesterday was Glendairy's Acting Assistant Chief Officer Cedric Moore, who will take the stand again today at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex.

The evidence is being heard by a three-man commission, led by chairman Sir Lisle Austin Ward, a retired Chief Justice of Bermuda.

The other commissioners are retired High Court judge Elliott Belgrave, and retired Anglican priest Canon Andrew Hatch.

The evidence is being led by commission attorneys Orville Durant and Hal Gollop.

HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.

Those words sent a Commission of Inquiry into stunned silence yesterday.

And they were the words of Glendairy Prisons' third highest ranking prison warder, Acting Assistant Chief Officer Cedric Moore, talking about his boss, Acting Superintendent of Prisons Lieutenant-Colonel John Nurse.

Moore also said he was passed over for promotion, and the post he held more than two years ago when prisoners burnt down the facility had now been given to a warder he was higher in rank than at the time.

At the time of the insurrection on March 29 and 30, 2005, Moore was the Acting Chief Officer from March 1 until August 3, 2005.

He is now the Acting Assistant Chief Officer, a rank one rung lower on the prison's pecking order, whilst Everton Carrington was promoted and is now the Acting Chief Officer.

"It's a situation (Carrington being promoted instead of him) I'm not very pleased with. It is a clear indication he doesn't like me," Moore told the Commission of Inquiry yesterday. "But it hasn't stopped me from being loyal or devoted to my job. I still work very hard," testified Moore, a warder since 1974.

He revealed that another prison warder, DeCarlo Payne, had also been promoted ahead of him without reason, but he had been told that was a ministerial (Ministry of Home Affairs) decision.

"I accepted that explanation, but I still feel the Superintendent had an input in it (the promotion). We've had run-ins before, and he has shouted at me on occasions and has told me I'm too soft sometimes, but these were mostly misunderstandings which I explained, and he accepted," Moore added.
