On the Resignation
of Branville McCartney MP from the Cabinet
The resignation of Branville
McCartney as Minister of State for Immigration is a source of serious
concern for the country. Mr. McCartney was responsible for driving the
immigration policy of the government. In the midst of a crisis in Immigration,
the Minister resigns. The Prime Minister must give a full and frank
explanation for the comment of Mr. McCartney that he believed that he
was being stagnated within Mr. Ingraham's Cabinet and could not fulfill
his full potential.
Mr. McCartney’s comment is
a serious indictment of Mr. Ingraham's government. His resignation has
exposed the truth of how Mr. Ingraham governs the country and his party.
The PLP believes that the country is not well served by the conduct of
public affairs led with bombast, harsh words and disrespect as a hall
mark of governance. We warned against it from the day Mr. Ingraham first
took office.
Now the FNM has turned on one
of its own. The country must be told the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth on this matter.
