Panday’s time table

THE EDITOR: Mr Panday had a whole seven weeks to complete constitution reform within the period of six years that he was officially in office and did absolutely nothing.

Today however, he demands that Mr Manning who has a five-year term of office must do it now. Mr Panday has said that constitutional reform could be completed in two months. My period of seven weeks above has reduced that by one week.

If I could therefore attempt some sort of priority time table for Mr Panday over his six-year period as Prime Minister, it would look something like this:
1. Visit US to be godfather for somebody’s child.
2. Spend about a month in India at the expense of the India government.
3. Visits to spend time with children in their basement home in a wealthy top flight district neighbourhood in London.
4. Weekends of golf in Tobago and elsewhere.

Unlike the crime proposals put forward by the Manning government to remove bail from anyone charged with kidnapping, which Mr Panday labelled as to “paste paper over the cracks,” the above list of Panday priorities were more important than crime and constitutional reform. Perhaps other readers could fill in some other things which Mr Panday considered top priority before constitutional reform during his six years of office. What are the “fundamental problems of the society” which take priority over crime that could cause the implosion he is talking about?
