Women’s League backs Marlene

A statement on Monday, in the name of the league’s chairman Camille Robinson-Regis, said the party’s values, “must and will always supersede any one individual and the greater good of country must be the deciding factor.” It added that the league is confident that McDonald will continue to expend her energies in the service of citizens and the country.

The statement said the league views with concern the many disparaging personal attacks that McDonald suffered since she was removed from Cabinet 16 months ago and noted the dignity with which she bore these insults. It said if the incident shows anything at all it was the weakness of many of the systems in the country and the personal frailties of people, especially those who hold public office.

The league said it was disappointed over what has happened since Mc- Donald’s reinstatement, noting that her advocacy on behalf of her constituents was well-known and there was great optimism with her reinstatement.

It ended by wishing her God’s abundance, particularly in her time of deep trial.
