Creating the correct example

Dec 15, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

It is great to see the Ali administration taking littering seriously during this new term in office. During their last term in office there was the pardoning / early release and hiring by the National Security Advisor (NSA) of someone who was jailed for littering.

The message it sent to the public was that it was ok to litter and people began to take the law less seriously. People had even started to make very disrespectful comments on the NSA’s Facebook page. Placing the reputation of the President and those around him in a less flattering light. The new drivcorrect e to prevent littering does help remind everyone that we must embrace the rule of law if we are serious about having a safe place to live and are serious about creating sustainable value within our society.

CRG applauds His Excellency and his team on this course correcting act. Going forward, if a senior member of the President’s team is interested in being lenient with first time offenders of the law against littering, the Ministry of Home Affairs should consider implementing a work program where those caught littering are given the option to clean up the litter in areas where the problem persists. This could be done in lieu of a monetary fine and jail time, but the message must remain clear and the example provided by the Administration must be the correct one for all of our citizens and visitors to follow. This being that the rule of law must be respected and followed.

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
