PNP Leader Rufus Ewing sent out a release on New Constitution that came into effect on November 15th,2012.
My Fellow Turks and Caicos Islanders,
The new Constitutional Order 2011 was proclaimed into effect by His Excellency The Governor, today Monday October 15, 2012. I would urge each and every one of us to remember this day as an historic one, it is the day that the British in this the 21st century, have legitimized the futher subjugation and social and economic enslavement of our people. Our right of self determination was stripped from us with the suspension and invalidation of the 2006 Constitution, a document crafted by our people to serve and protect all who reside on our shores regardless of race, creed or country of origin.
This new Constitutional Order and the objectives contained within its substance, is a clear indication the The United Kingdom is by no means ready to further the development of our people and our country in a manner beneficial to this and future gererations. This behaviour runs contrary to The United Nation’s Declaration on The Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, a declaration which was made some 52 years ago.
It is therefore crucial that on November 9 th 2012, we remember to vote for our future, we must remember to take that first step that will return us to self government and self-determination. We must choose as our leaders, those whose plans and visions have been clearly outlined and organzied and we must stand together ready to move our country forward towards progress.
Mr. ewing urged voters that, ‘On November 9th, VOTE PNP, as we prepare for that DAWN OF A NEW DAY!’
With the new constitution in place, elections can be called 30 days after; it also means the suspension of the Interim Administration which had its last sitting at the NJS Francis Building on October 11th,2012
