‘Who vex lorse’

THE EDITOR: Penguin, the calypsonian, sang on anti-PNM (old guard) tune entitled “What sweet in goat mouth....” That saying can now be applied across the board given the behaviour of a certain global group and its leader who has won a judicial review on his appointment. His legal representative is a known political activist whose notoriety came to the fore during a televised panel discussion in 2001 during the hustings. The independence of the statutory service commissions is at the heart of the issue and, given the character of that particular activist, that is being used as a cop-out for the furtherance of hidden motives. Who vex lorse.

The political party that is out of power has already vowed to make the ruling party look bad when power-sharing was suggested and refused during the first term of the Patrick Manning administration. That has taken the form or civil disobedience. In light of a second call for the members of the Statutory Authorities Service Commission to do the honourable thing, my comment is what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. In other words let that call be applied to the Commissioners of the Elections and Boundaries Commission as well.
