‘We cannot sit back in our gated communities’
“THE ECONOMY of St James is growing, jobs are being created. CSJP claims to have invested millions into effecting social reform. PMI has appointed persons as “violence interrupters” and politicians have put in massive infrastructure in communities such as Flanker, Providence, Lilliput, Barrett Town, Norwood and other areas,” said Sinclair. “Parliament has passed several pieces of legislation to take the profit out of crime and to dismantle gangs. In spite of these positives, the killing continues.
“I readily confess that I don’t have all the answers, and it is in that context that I plead for a joint summit of stakeholders to look at this issue in a fullsome way and to determine what must be done,” said Sinclair. “We cannot sit back in our secured gated communities and ivory castles and not put our all to the wheel to curb this crime wave. Let’s not waste another moment.”
