After much consideration, analytical review, and discussions with many people throughout our society, as well as listening to the voices of our people through social, electronic, and print media, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has concluded that the time has come for Grenada to adopt the recommendations of the CARICOM Regional Commission on Marijuana, as outlined in their 2018 report, ”Waiting To Exhale - Safeguarding Our Future Through Responsible Socio-Legal Policy On Marijuana.”

In our system of government, the Prime Minister may reshuffle the Cabinet at any time for improved efficiency and performance in the administration of public affairs. Cabinet reshuffles are not meant to be exercises in personal development for Ministers or to give them a ‘turn’ at a new experience. Equally, Cabinet reshuffles are not meant to be undertaken as part of partisan political maneuverings.

The Political Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mrs. Franka Alexis Johnson Bernadine, the Executive Committee and indeed the entire membership of the Party, join in extending congratulations to the incumbent, Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica on securing another victory at the election polls yesterday, Thursday 3rd September.
