#TurksandCaicos, January 4, 2017 – Providenciales – The malicious rumors speculating about the political maneuverings by our second all island member can only be seen for what it is, a desperate attempt by some PNP operatives to get attention and an audience ahead of a late 3pm press conference by their Leader and Leader of the Official Opposition(LOO) party. Sadly, it worked and by all accounts the attention given to the LOO by the public was a huge disappointment not because of Hon. Connolly’s no- show but because of his tired and caustic rhetoric that continues to be past time just as he has now admitted in his first and second press conference in just over 2 weeks.
Washington Misick and the PNP cannot try to disguise their history in the affairs of Silly Creek and Taylor Bay. It is of their own manufacturing which when we fast forward the clock to 2018 from their 1991-1995 decision making we see a young Turks and Caicos Islander being choked off from some of the remaining beaches because of their decision 23 years ago to sell off choice pieces of crown land. In fact, what is comical is that Mr. Missick’s, Washington that is, press conference was a political volley attempt at the young people who he fears will rush head first into a revolution on the beach at Taylor Bay at the call of his younger brother. The sibling rivalry is well alive in the PNP.
We take note too of the call by Mr. Michael Misick to take back the beach he choked off from us poor Turks and Caicos Islanders and ask him to tell the truth to the people. He should clear his name of the wrong doing he has inflicted on the good people of the TCI while sitting in office from his many decisions which are not before the court.
The people want access to their Beaches. In fact, the latest selling of beach access in this country took place not too long ago under a Rufus Ewing led PNP Government. Our Leader and Premier is correct when she says, “we are constantly bogged down by having to fix and clean up PNP mess”.
In the end what is most noteworthy is that in the first week of 2018 we now see a desperate and power hungry group of individuals fielded from within the PNP making major accusations against Government Ministers and the Premier. It’s as if they smell blood, but they really should look down at their feet because that blood is from a shot in the foot.
