Dear
Editor,
Please
permit me a space in your weekly paper
to say that I am not afraid to admit
that I recently went to Mr. Gregory
Bowen to say that I wanted him to
forgive me for what I believe was a
mistake on my part. I believed the
opposition in the campaign when they
said that he was a corrupt man. I
remember a man came to my house during
the campaign and the things he told me,
left me so confused that I voted for
change.
Even if I
knew Mr. Bowen all my life, the way they
sold the information to me I was
convinced that they had facts. When
they announced on the radio that Mr.
Bowen won the case and I heard him
explain the whole thing I felt ashamed
of myself for falling in an election
trap. I felt sorry for him and his
family because I helped to spread the
rumors too.
The
promises they made are not being
fulfilled and on top of that all they
seem to be doing is engaging in lies and
attacks rather than trying to settle
down and build the country. I am sick
and tired of hearing about Keith.
Mitchell. Breakfast, lunch and dinner
is the same song. If it is not Keith
Mitchell, then it is the former
government. How can we move forward
like this?
Now is
about citizenship. Lord, why would you
believe that a person have citizenship
when you see that they have a visa in
their passport that you have and will
not give them? Why couldn’t you write
to the person expressing your concerns?
Why do you have to give a newspaper man
a copy of the letter to make scandal?
Why do you have to go on TV attacking
the man and talking about him stepping
down as representative when you did not
elect him?
Are we
trying to go back to the dark days?
Change is not always for the better and
I have learnt this the hard way. My
responsibility is to pray for the
Government and I am doing that, but it
is hard when I see the things that are
happening everyday. I call on the
government to move on. The campaign is
over. Manage the country. Get jobs for
us. We want opportunities. We want
support to send our children to school.
We want so many things that you promised
us and you don’t have unlimited time so
start now. Please leave Keith Mitchell
and Gregory Bowen alone and focus on
Grenada. Your behavior has driven me
right back to the NNP.
S.
