Dear Editor,
One could not help being engaged with the submission of SN’s Editorial of Sunday August 08, regarding the convoluted stance of the Government vis-à-vis the Opposition. That the two in fact engage each other in the National Assembly must constitute substantive mutual recognition. Such action must speak louder than words, and must be seen and heard as de facto recognition. Unfortunately, the spurious argumentation by the First Citizen cannot be taken to the very court whose highest decision-makers are the subject of the tenuous defence. In any case, why cannot the Leadership (so-called) rise above the level of Contender (so-called) and display a higher degree of morality – not only to our citizenship, but to the witnesses in the Caribbean who supported the former, and who would have expected that the new Government would set the example of healing, much rather than festering what the CCJ has described as a judicial sore? All the talk about ‘unity’ is but a chimera. Indeed it insults common sense. And who was it that said that ‘common sense is the most uncommon sense of all’?
Sincerely,
E.B. John
