It's the same thing I've been saying for the past two years or more. The same thing I've been fearing would happen, too. Did you see in the daily papers where the Integrity Commission advertised all who failed to file the Declarations of Income, Assets and Liabilities and their Statements of Registrable Interests for 2011?
I mean, how could Dr Rowley and the others do such a thing to us, in the midst of a major makeover? Why are they pointing out specks in other people's eyes and forgetting the big logs in their own?
Up to this week Dr Rowley found himself on the tv boasting how the PNM is the one to take over the government because of the incompetence and lack of experience of the PP. But, here I am, with the papers open in front me, and it says plainly that Dr Rowley, Dr Amery Browne, Fitzgerald Hinds, Penny Beckles, Mariano Browne, Deon Isaac, Hermia Tyson-Cuffie and Harvey Borris, all of them top PNM members either because they're in the House, the Senate, County Councils-not one of them doing what they're required to do under the Integrity Act.
How can they make a bad lapse like that when simultaneously making a big hullabaloo that PP government ministers and others hiding things the people of this country ought to know?
What is this, I'm even seeing Joseph Remy and Gregory Sloane-Seale who hitting out hard against the non-disclosure of Point Fortin highway information! Then people does wonder why I does keep saying that our mouthpieces have become rahrahs, neglecting their basic duties, jumping on any passing or distant bandwagon while leaving their cocoa exposed.
PNM has no right to have any of its own in any Integrity Commission bad books! Anytime that happens, it means we're sinning, but pelting stone.
