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.
