There is a new group of young leaders in the TCI and they are stepping up the pace to making a difference.
The group is called Turks & Caicos for Justice and Equality; they are calling on the Governor to answer the call and if he does not respond favaoribly, demonstrations will commence.
Attached is a letter sent to RTC News from the group.
March 3, 2011
His Excellency the Governor
Waterloo
Grand Turk
Dear Governor:
Our group, Turks and Caicos United for Justice and Equality, has been opposed to the suspension of our country’s Constitution and your Interim Administration from its inception, and over the last eighteen months, we feel that, given the lack of performance, the state of the social and economic order and the general feeling of malaise, uncertainty and fear that currently exist in the country, we feel that we have been vindicated and our initial misgivings about the current constitutional arrangements justified.
We are of the view therefore, that the time has come for us to formally seek, require and demand an immediate return to democratically elected government of, for and by the people, to chart the way forward for all of our people, and we now do so.
By this letter we give you notice that unless a date is announced for general elections and a return to democracy by 4 o’clock in the afternoon of March 7, 2011, we shall commence a sustained campaign to achieve such a return to democracy, until such time as that has been accomplished.
We thank you for your attention to this matter and look forward to your response before the date listed above.
Yours sincerely
TURKS AND CAICOS UNITED FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY
