No, that is not what happened here. John Casuga (the lawyer in question here) was the constituency president but did not stand for re-election in 2009. He was replaced in early February athte AGM of the constituency. The only thing he signed after that point was the financial statement for the constituency relating to the 2008 calendar year, which is a common practice. That statement simply details what came in and out of the constituency association through the year and it is signed by the Chief Financial Officer and Principal Officer of the association. There is no impropriety here at all, and certainly Kent did not lie about the dates or anything like that.
In actuality Casuga was suspended a few years ago as well and decided not the pursue reinstatement (at least that is how its been explained to me). There has never been a link between the constituency association and the law practice of John Casuga on a business level.
