Dear Editor,
In light of recent remarks by the National Security Minister Peter Bunting, the National Democratic Movement would like answers to the following simple questions:
Is National Security Minister Bunting suffering a meltdown or mental fatigue? His wild, angry, emotional outburst over the weekend, as he lashed out at the Opposition spokesman for his ministry, would suggest that all may not be well with him. Or is his tasteless, inappropriate rant and rave mere arrogance as is typical of the "dutty politricks" normally used by desperate tribal gang members?
Is he overwhelmed by the rigours, stress and challenges involved in running such a serious portfolio? Is shooting the messenger a good strategy at crime-fighting, or should he and his Administration focus on solutions to the country's spiralling crime problem, particularly on the heels of recent reports that Jamaica was ranked third most murderous country in the world for 2014 and another report that a member of the 'Klansman' gang - which is known to support the PNP - ended up as a part of the party president and prime minister of Jamaica's security detail?
Is Bunting's substantive role and function as a servant for the Jamaican people his first duty and priority? Or is it about mud-slinging and fighting, as carried by 'hostile tribes perpetually at war', to keep his party in power?
The NDM supports the following policy positions:
1. We propose constitutional changes which would result in the "best minds forming the Cabinet" and not mere politicians and party stalwarts who are not technically competent to handle complex matters and the proper running of the substantive ministerial portfolio.
2. That the Jamaica Constabulary Force be renamed the Jamaica Constabulary Service.
3. That the commissioner of police report to a special committee of Parliament, instead of the minister appointed by any politician.
