We of the National Democratic Congress are saddened and very disappointed to learn that the Ministry of Education has communicated to schools that they should not accept any more lunches from our Care Initiative Program. This information was communicated to us by several school administrators.
The NDC has continuously warned of the danger posed by the senseless animosity that Keith Mitchell, Gregory Bowen and the NNP have displayed over the years against WRB Ltd., the investor who owns 50% of the shares in GRENLEC. Mitchell, Bowen and NNP continued for 26 years with a senseless vendetta born out of pure hatred and jealousy towards the NDC. The fact is the NDC was able to attract a good, credible investor to Grenada while Mitchell and Bowen have a long record of attracting criminals, crooks and conmen. So out of spite, they set about to recklessly discredit the NDC and WRB by convincing their supporters that the sale of half of the GRENLEC shares was a bad deal. It was not.
The National Democratic Congress National Care Initiative (NDC NCI) entered its second phase of community outreach to help those most in need. As families continue to grapple with our current economic realities, there’s a great need to support those who are most vulnerable in our midst.
The National Democratic Congress joins the chorus of voices, both in the United States and around the world, calling for systemic reforms that will improve race relations in that country, in the aftermath of the unlawful killing of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement officers.
The stand-off between the Bus Owners Association and Government should not be allowed to escalate further. Further delay in the resumption of public transportation will result in more hardship for people who depend on public transportation as their main way of going about their daily lives. The Government should consider this and show compassion, especially during this already stressful time.
