Response: Letter Regarding Throne Speech

October 15, 2007

Firstly, let me point out that the observations were not an attack on the Governor General or his Office, since it is fully understood that the address he gives is what is presented to him by the Government of Grenada, and any misleading statements is clearly understood to be that of the government rather than His Excellency.

The statement suggests that the Prime Minister made his presentation before those world leaders named in the address, when as can be factually proven those leaders were not present when he made the statement. The fact that the Prime Minister subsequently attended a dinner with those leaders, where he did not make the speech as indicated.

Barry has tried skillfully to confuse the issue for those not paying attention to detail.

My comments were made as a commentator and a writer and not as president of MWAG. That was an opinion piece that I have a right to, that does not reflect the views of MWAG and Mr Collymore is just being consistent by finding reason to attack MWAG at any and every opportunity.

This clearly was an attack on MWAG that was unwarranted. He could have fairly commented on my observation without trying to bring MWAG into disrepute.
