The media needs to get off of this bandwagon
DEAR EDITOR,
Well the chickens have come home to roost. The evil intent of all the constitutionalists and great lawyers has always been to cow this government into submission. We have read the daily dissertations and heard the many views electronically portrayed why this government should just pack up and go and leave the treasury to be plundered by many of the same elements baying like hounds after Mr. Granger’s flesh.
Many years ago when a senior judge ruled a government of the comrades illegal, the said government was allowed to remain in place until GECOM had properly finalized preparations for the elections that were billed.
GECOM would be out of place in calling for elections when it has not yet completed its homework. In the former case the two heads of services told that judge that they could not guarantee the maintenance of public order. The judge then allowed the government to remain in place according to the doctrine of necessity.
The mal-intention of the proponents is showing up daily as the various veiled and not so subtle threats are spewed publicly in the various media and on the stomp.
Under a certain founder-leader, the leader of the opposition would have long been removed and placed under protective custody. The current media frenzy would have long been curtailed and many persons dealt with condignly. This country needs persons who would build for posterity.
The media needs to get off of this bandwagon and work with the government for an effective solution to the impasse. Continuous whipping up of frenzy is counterproductive. Telling an ‘ignorant’ supporter that the president and other ministers should be chased out of certain districts can only cause disorder.
The media is the fourth estate of the realm. The media must behave responsibly and lead the way when required.
Regards,
Cyril Walker
