ST.GEORGE’S, APRIL 26, 2011 - Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has described
the contribution of former Speaker of the Grenada House of Representatives, Sir
Curtis Strachan, as immeasurable and invaluable.
The Prime Minister this morning
interrupted a sitting of the House of Representatives to inform the House of
the passing of Sir Curtis, who gave 52 years of service to Grenada at various
positions within the Public service, including Clerk of Parliament and Speaker
of the House of Representatives.
“Sir Curt has serves as a tower
of information for parliamentarians, especially those who were elected for the
first time. He was never too busy to assist those who called on him for help.
He was a person who gave selflessly in support of the development of our democracy,”
Prime Minister Thomas said Tuesday.
He expressed on behalf of the
government and people of Grenada, and on his own behalf, sympathy to the family
and friends of Sir Curtis.
As a result of the Prime
Minister’s intervention during this morning’s meeting of the House of
Representatives, Speaker Mc Guire called for a minute’s silence in observance of
the contribution of Sir Curtis to Grenada and the institution.
