Dear Editor
The toxic and desecrated state of the two burial grounds in the village of Diamond is a national disgrace and an indictment of the NDCs which were elected to serve the community. The deep vegetation and non-access to the final resting place of the departed is painful and unbelievable.
As an Independent candidate who contested the last local government election, and as a villager for over twenty years it pains me to point out the lack of decency and respect even for the departed by these shameless people who were elected councillors of the two NDCs.
A call is now made to the Minister of Communities, Mr Ronald Bulkan, to use his good offices to ensure that some sanity and respectability is restored to these hallowed grounds which will one day become the final place of rest for all villagers when they depart this earthly life.
The councillors should undertake a walkabout in the village to get first-hand experience of the deplorable state of our roads, canals, bridges, culverts, etc, and work towards addressing these issues which affect all residents.
Time will be the judge and history will record the integrity or otherwise of those men and women who were elected to serve without favor or ill will until the end of their tenure.
Yours faithfully,
Andre Fortune
