May 30, 2012 Letters

Dear Sir,
A letter appearing in S.N on May 12 captioned “Public open spaces should be developed so youngsters can play football, etc” by Lennox Arthur, former national football player, football coach and organizer of soccer tournaments.
The content is a clear indication of intellectual dishonesty from Arthur. This letter isn’t intended to defend the government’s (in) abilities for national sports development. Least of all it is trying, despite the fact that much more can be done,construct a national training facility in a remote area, of at least 1000 feet above sea level, to aid climatision, in overseas sojourns, for various national teams.
It is also ensuring that each community has a recreational facility; new housing areas are being developed. Additionally, Regional Sports Officers must become compulsory, who must ensure that regular reports must be submitted to the management committees of the various facilities outlining the respective sports and cultural developments, along with the relevant ministries.
But what of the Mayor, in whose honour a tournament is held annually? Isn’t this the same Mayor that in a previous letter in your publication accused NICIL of owing M & CC millions? And in Arthur’s letter a similar chord is being struck; “the government should stop NICIL from disposing state lands”.
The combined opposition more so, the AFC are along with Christopher Ram, the doing a splendid job in this endeavour. By a similar token both Messrs Arthur and Greene should cease playing politics, after all “wa mouth na load”. Since previously when the Parade ground, was rented out to the Miners’ Association and for a Circus, under the auspices of the current Mayor, which garnered revenue, and until a day like today no proper remedial works was done to the surface and in the process depriving hundreds of youths from various schools in the area, along with residents of a recreational facility.
