Mr Panday’s sun is set

THE EDITOR: It is obvious to me that Mr Panday’s political sun has set. Nothing is rising tomorrow from that obstructionist. How does his lack of cooperation with any proposal by the government help the members of his party to portray themselves as an alternate government in readiness? He’ll do nothing to cooperate on crime solutions, even though this wave began on his watch.

He will do nothing to cooperate on the Anti-Kidnapping Bill.
He will do nothing to cooperate with the Caribbean Court of Appeal.
He will do nothing.

My question to the media is, why do the three major papers keep covering his every nonsensical utterance as if he is the voice of God, when he is not even the voice of his own people? The people (the voting public) have spoken, twice. His sun is set. He should bask in the afterglow, go home and shut up. The media can help him to shut up by not covering his constant negative utterances. He is, if he is getting a salary as a parliamentarian, drawing money under false pretenses, and sending an erroneous message to all young people, about what the contents of the public purse should be used for. The media should not become his unpaid public relations instrument.
