The
PM in an effort to condemn George Worme and Grenada Today has
once again demoralized the people of Grenada.
What should
have been handled at a diplomatic level quietly; have now become
an embarrassment for the people of Cuba and Grenada. The alleged
incident had nothing to do with Cuba and any assistance that
they are providing to Grenadians.
The allegation
is against an individual; if the government of Grenada feels
that by prosecuting the individual, it will hurt the national
interest then obviously government could always hide under the
disguise of diplomatic immunity.
Those provisions
are options to save face with an understanding that the accused
will be either prosecuted in his own country or given the appropriate
help if needs be. The pm's statements are vulgar, insulting
and insensitive to the dignity of Grenadians in general and
to women in particular.
What message
is he sending to the helpless, hopeless and the vulnerable?
Is the
pm saying that just because a father is the bread winner in
the home that children must remain silent when they are molested,
raped, sodomized or abused?
Just last
week the pm was bumping his gum about a recently organized sex
crime unit in the police force. He said in parliament that there
are no rapists on his side of the house - a statement that needs
to be investigated.
Is he not
concerned that there could very well be one at the general hospital?
This is
a place that serves our wives, daughters, sisters and mothers
and the most vulnerable in our society. How in heavens name
could the pm condemn Grenada today for reporting a case of alleged
sexual molestation and possible rape when the alleged victim
made the same report to the police?
The woman
went back to the hospital and confronted the very said man in
the presence of nurses. Does this woman have a political agenda?
Does this woman wants to mash up Grenada as that Bejan yard
fowl was clowning on our TV?
I am not
at all surprised by the pm's statements since he is insensitive
to Grenadian woman and their feelings since their only use in
front of him appears to be just use and abuse them.
Just ask
sister grace Duncan. Does he have a Grenadian woman on his side
or a Grenadian child? This is probably the reason for his insensitivity.
No real
father in this world would make such a statement. He cannot
invite himself into the feelings of our violated women. When
young Robbie Ann Jeremiah was murdered by his friend and spiritual
advisor, arch bishop Edmund Gilbert was detained by police for
the crime.
After Gilbert
was released by police before being officially charged, he told
the archbishop to go back to work and clear his name. He had
no sympathy then for the victim's family even though as minister
of national security he knew that Gilbert was the prime suspect.
We also
had the sapodilla home incident involving an allegation of physical
and verbal abuse by someone in government. The ministry investigated
the matter. Archdeacon clement Francis, the former Anglican
priest told the world and I quote, "something happen but
what happen is not enough to be called child abuse".
We also
had the incident involving the NNP minister sending sexy email
to an Imani young female trainer. The said minister was promoted
to be an ambassador. When the pm got caught up in the "approximately
us fifteen thousand dollars" issue in Switzerland for his
expenses (so he say), he told the Grenadian people that like
the Cubans he too has done a lot for them with his over twenty
years of service to the country.
But when
he was snubbed by the Taiwanese he broke off diplomatic relations
with Taiwan not because he believes in the one china policy
but because he personally felt insulted. He was not concerned
about what it would mean to the country but it was about this
little pm from a small country in the Caribbean getting respect.
How about
a poor black woman from St. David's protecting her dignity?
Remember your words, Mr. P.M, 'men dress up in jacket and tie
molesting little girls'.
Would you
want to have men dress up in medical outfits sexually assaulting
our women just because we are getting assisting from a certain
country? If that is so then please release all the Trinidadians
in our jails because during Ivan when you went missing in action
for a long time, the Trinis were feeding us.
How about
America? They gave us forty-five million us. Would you allow
the Americans to make advances to your constant traveling companion
from St. Andrew's? What do the Venezuelans deserve for Petrocaribe?
And what about our friends that are building the stadium?
Please
sir, apologise quickly to our young people because your statements
have deterred victims from coming forward at a time when rape,
incest and abuse is on the rise in the country.
Is that
the same government of Claris Charles and Ann David-Antoine
that is so much against Pasa Pasa. NNP needs to stop the old
talk about positive vibes? Where is the minister of works who
was calling on the medical profession to take action against
dr. Lambert in a case where there was no complainant before
the police?
There are
evil-doers in every country and in every profession. Let's praise
Grenada Today for breaking the story and let's be thankful that
Grenada today is not like the police officer in community affairs
division who was part of a team that investigated the sapodilla
home allegation and boldly said in a meeting that we cant report
that because elections are in the air.
The truth
must come to light one day. Write on Grenada today
