Our question; why is the state-owned service involved in private dealings between two private citizens?

"A Gift to Skerrit"

Marina Shillingford of Trafalgar said she gave the Prime Minister 2 acres of land as a gift. The retired nurse said it was given in recognition that Skerrit was a fantastic PM. However, the Memorandum of Transfer indicates that Marina Shillingford received the sum of ECD$90,000.00 for the property.

It should be noted that Marina Shillingford was interviewed by State-Owned Government Information Service (GIS).
