We do not have the luxury of time or the energy for further finger-pointing and recrimination. It is now time for us to sit together and find solutions. “This is not to suggest that the Government should not take responsibility, for at the end of the day it is the Government which must implement the necessary policy prescriptions to solve this problem…Crime has been politicized by us all for far too long.
It is time now for us to exert that same energy in finding solutions.” Pledging the support and willingness of the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM)-led Opposition to engage and to assist, Hon. Brantley has called on Prime Minister, Hon.
Dr. Terrance Drew, to urgently convene a symposium of relevant stakeholders to adopt an “all-of-society approach to tackling this problem once and for all”. He expressed the view that right-thinking members of society should be able to come together to fashion workable solutions to this perennial problem.
“I believe…the time has come for all who truly love this country to set our differences aside and unite in the face of this scourge of crime and criminality. Crime is a social problem. The victims of crime are from our communities.
They are our family and friends. The criminals are also from our communities. They too are our family and friends. We must therefore come together as a people and shoulder our shared responsibility to find solutions.” The Honourable Premier extended deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the latest victims of violence and those who tragically succumbed in the past.
