Fr Taylor not waiting for Godot

The Editor: Father Ian Taylor has done the right thing in bringing some peace and quiet to Moruga and ensuring that errant citizens respect the law of our land during religious periods and otherwise.

Whether it’s Moruga or Manzanilla, this approach to respect everyone, “holy days” and the law is tantamount for our well-being as a nation. The police appear to be a law unto themselves and are coming under fire from all quarters now more than ever for aiding, abetting and participating in all types of lawlessness in our country. No wonder people do not respect the law! The Commissioner of Police has not done an effective job in reducing crime, neither has the Minister of National Security during his tenure so far!

It is well known that the Minister of National Security has been used as “scapegoat” by Patrick Manning when he accepted the ministerial position knowing fully well how near impossible it would be to succeed. Meanwhile, all community leaders should follow in Father Taylor’s steps and help to restore law and order throughout our country. Waiting on Manning, the PNM and the police to do this for us is like waiting on “Mr Godot!”
