About 3 weeks ago some hosted a karaoke at the St. John’s police station and the protocols at the time was not adhered to…… It was mentioned that there would be an investigation. From since then, it appears as though the matter has been swept under the carpet….. Remember, what goes for one should go for all…. No police officer is above the law..
Well done commissioner Atlee Rodney,
I wish our commissioner and the UK government had shown the same sort of tenacity as Antigua,
and maybe, just maybe, we would have got on top this terrible and devastating disease/virus
from the moment it arrived on our shores.
STAY SAFE ANTIGUA
