How can you run a country on warnings, ‘riot acts’ and threats?

Apr 20, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please allow me to highlight a few noticeable headlines in the print media:
1. ‘Government threatens to take over city streets to curb roadside vending’ (KN, April 13th, 2022
2. ‘Hicken issues warning to Sergeants’ (SN, 4/22)
3. ‘Ali reads riot act over CJIA project’ (SN 9/21)
4. ‘Police issue warning over wanton use of sirens’ (VV, 12/21)
5. ‘Mustapha reads riot act to delinquent contractors’ (KN, 11/21)
Do you remember when you were a kid and you committed a negative act? Your mother would threaten the daylights out of you by stating, ‘wait till your father gets home’. So you started to shake with every clock-ticking minute. Well, some dads came home late (you were fast asleep) and other dads never came home, but mom’s strategy worked until the next event (then her threats start all over again). Kudos to those strong moms who dealt nicely with the situation – then and there.
This is the same strategy our government is applying while issuing a ton of warnings, ‘riot acts’ and threats. Make laws, policies, and/or agreements – implement and enforce them – simple!! Tip: start with the horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, goats, etc. on the streets.
Cordially,
Denise Murray
