Shooting the Messenger

by

I have to ad­mit that I agree with PNM chair­man Franklin Khan, who slammed in­to for­mer sen­ate pres­i­dent Dan­ny Mon­tano for ad­vis­ing mem­bers of the op­po­si­tion par­ty not to vote for the PNM if Kei­th Row­ley is the leader.Mon­tano of­fered the ad­vice in a re­cent in­ter­view with the News­day news­pa­per, stat­ing that if the PNM un­der Row­ley's guid­ance can­not even run an in­ter­nal elec­tion pro­fes­sion­al­ly, how can any­one ex­pect the par­ty to gov­ern the coun­try ?

Row­ley him­self has dis­missed the crit­i­cism from the "Team Pen­ny" camp as the view of a mi­nor­i­ty that is not sup­port­ed by the facts of the sit­u­a­tion.Speak­ing in an in­ter­view with TV6 last week, the PNM leader al­so de­fend­ed pos­si­ble dis­crep­an­cies in the PNM vot­ers' list, which Mon­tano raised, stat­ing that even the EBC with all its re­sources does not have "a prop­er­ly main­tained" vot­ers' list. He ad­mit­ted that there are "one or two re­al is­sues" of vot­ers not be­ing on the PNM list but went on to say that "this is to be ex­pect­ed" in an elec­tion.

Mon­tano is run­ning for the chair­man­ship on the "Team Pen­ny" slate, seek­ing to re­place Khan, who made it clear that Mon­tano's ut­ter­ances make him un­fit to be par­ty chair­man.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
