Editor,

Well, I must disagree with the New Democratic Party (NDP) claim that the Prime Minister and his administration are severely responsible for all the killings that are currently occurring in St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). One must understand that most of the killings are occurring because of reprisals, drugs, gang activities, and domestic disputes.

Persons are not fighting anymore with their fists, but they are using guns and knives to settle disputes, and so many young persons are not trying to obtain jobs in our society, but they are instead resorting to criminal activities and that is always making the situation more serious.

The Prime Minister is trying his ultimate best to get rid of all the killings by constantly condemning them, and desperately encouraging young persons to obtain jobs.
