Premier the Hon Dr. Rufus Ewing and his ministerial colleagues held the second public town hall-style meeting at the HJ Robinson High School’s auditorium Wednesday evening to get insight into community members’ thinking on the constitution and matters surrounding SIPT.
Premier Ewing said he and his colleagues came to power with a mandate to ensure some constitutional amendments must be made and so begun the process of engaging the community, then generated a report.
While they knew HMG might have not been receptive to some of the recommendations, which he said were only cosmetic, they were not prepared for the outright rejection of the constitutional recommendations.
After taking the audience through some of the challenges they have been faced with, he laid on the line his government’s position.
Local entrepreneur Carlis Williams questioned what if the scales continue to tip in HMG’s favor.
The Premier explained that there is nothing that allows for a referendum on anything and explained the processes.
On the matter of independence, there still seem to be some trepidation. Mrs. Rosabell Adams, one of the attendees at last evening’s meeting, expressed sentiments that for her, it’s a scary situation.
We’ll have further feedback from last evening’s meeting.
