“No one is safe, anywhere, anytime while conducting any activity as bandits are roaming our streets looking for easy prey. As the Member of Parliament for Pointe a Pierre, I am outraged that crime continues to spiral out of control to the point it has caused anguish and trauma to a Claxton Bay family within my constituency, right after they conducted a Puja.” This from Chairman of the United National Congress (UNC), David Lee, who is also the MP for Pointe a Pierre.
In a Media Release today (Wednesday 20th March, 2024), MP Lee said, “We have truly lost our way as a nation, our way of life has truly been eroded by rampant criminality when a family can fall victim to a heinous attack right after something as sacred as prayer. Criminals are being empowered by the consistent failure by those in authority to implement modern, innovative, all-encompassing, holistic and globally tested crime fighting initiatives.” The MP continued, “Hard working citizens are being brutalized, demoralized and victimized because the Government continues to blame everyone else while failing to take responsibility. One day they blame the Police Service. Another day they blame the citizens. As a matter of fact, it is totally ridiculous that this week the Prime Minister chastised citizens for turning a blind eye to crime. Citizens are not turning a blind eye, citizens are simply petrified, horrified and without hope due to the absence of support from the Government.” He added, “This crisis is not as a result of failure by the Police. This catastrophe is not as a result of citizens’ shortcomings. It has been manufactured after eight (8) years of incompetent, non-reactive and a vision-less approach to national security by this Government. It is on this premise, as the Member of Parliament for Pointe a Pierre, that I continue to support the Leader of the Opposition’s call for Stand Your Ground legislation so citizens can protect their homes and families.” The Media Release concluded by saying, “Today, I issue a firm call to the Minister of Finance, who came to Parliament to gain permission to borrow 10 billion dollars more — use that money to protect citizens. Use that money to improve the national security apparatus. We in Pointe a Pierre need more Police vehicles to ensure more Police patrols. We in Pointe a Pierre need more funding and support for a Police Post.” [Source: UNC] We are a small operation.
