What is
taking place in Grenada today ought to
be expected by all; both supporters and
opponents of the present Government?
There is a saying that “you can’t plant
yam and expect to reap potatoes” The
present Government leaders including the
Prime Minister planted some terrible
seeds of hate, lies, character
assassinations and disrespect and that
they are reaping today. The only loser
in all this is Grenada.
Listening
to some supporters of the present
Government privately and publicly, you
get the impression that they are upset
that people are starting to ridicule the
Prime Minister and some ministers and
they are openly calling for that
disrespect to stop. One can remember
that it was the same NDC supporters who
were encouraged by the present leaders
who planted and pushed the propaganda on
the ‘briefcase issue” They were quite
happy to push this all over the regional
and international media, thereby
affecting the image of the Prime
Minister. They were also very happy to
make all false accusation against
Gregory Bowen and other members of the
NNP. They were quite happy to plant or
invent stories like: “no oxygen in the
hospital”, “TB in the prison” and “no
medicine in the hospital”. The striking
thing about all these is that they were
all lies concocted to make the NNP
Government look bad for political
purpose.
The NDC did
everything they could in an attempt to
destroy the NNP administration and the
good name of Grenada. The medium and
long tern damages to the country were
never considered. Unfortunately the NDC
administration is now reaping the sour
fruits but they still will not learn.
Today, even
if they are in Government they continue
to peddle these falsehoods and are
comfortable doing this. The NDC
administration continues to use its
close associates to attack individuals
and to fuel hatred and division in our
society. They continue to manufacture
propaganda not realizing that the last
campaign for a general election ended on
July 7th 2008. They continue
to operate as they did in opposition,
still trying to play with the minds of
the people. They have not yet realized
that the people of Grenada Carriacou and
Petite Martinique people have learnt
many lessons from the last general
elections and will not make the same
mistake again. They fail to realise that
this kind of behaviour will only cause
more destruction to the country and to
their own political organisation.
Today the
people of Grenada are crying out loud
because of the way they were misled by
the NDC, because of the many unfulfilled
empty promises made to them during the
election campaign. Rather than take
decisive actions to correct the problems
they face and to honor the promises they
made, the NDC administration continue
the strategy of blaming, attacking and
destroying. They continue to blame the
NNP for everything they do wrong and for
not being able to deliver on all the
reckless promises they made. They
continue to produce and reproduce
malicious lies and spreading propaganda
against the leadership of the NNP with
the intention of destroying the NNP so
they will be in office ‘forever’. When
will NDC learn? When will NDC
understand that the lies, hatred and
deceit which got them into office will
not be able to keep them there.
The voice
of the people is loud and clear they
have had enough of this and they are
interested in moving Grenada forward.
They are dissatisfied with the
performance of the Government since
assuming office in July and they are
still looking for change. More over
they are concerned that the government
is not living up to its campaign theme
of accountability, transparency, good
governance and respect for
institutions. These words are hardly
mentioned by those who repeated them in
every sentence during the last general
election.
The real
issue is “what goes around always comes
around” and NDC turn has come around
very fast with facts not lies and
fiction. The NDC supporters have a lot
more coming. Their team will always
continue to self destruct.
