Former ABLP member backs Prime Minister’s stance on addressing crime and violence
By Aabigale McIntosh
The elected MP for St. Peter posted a message on the Prime Minister’s Facebook page, stating, “Regardless of any political differences I may have had with the Prime Minister, this is not a time for political rhetoric or scoring cheap political points. There should be no blame placed on our security forces or the current government for the rise in crime we are facing. Instead, this is a crisis that requires every citizen, all stakeholders, and civil society to unite with the government and police to combat this scourge of crime.”
MP Michael also called for national unity and urged an all-hands-on-deck approach to addressing violence.
He further congratulated Prime Minister Browne for what he described as “an extraordinary and firm stance on this issue,” commending the Prime Minister’s “true leadership, especially in a time of crisis.”
