Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I listened carefully to what Prime Minister Gaston Browne said about his past meeting with Adrian Williams, and I also read Mr. Williams\u2019 response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, that response was not good enough.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister didn\u2019t speak in vague terms \u2014 he gave specific details. He said Mr. Williams came to him asking how he and his family make money. He said they discussed business opportunities, property, and ways to create wealth. He even gave examples of what was said and what advice was given.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those are serious and very specific claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is Mr. Williams responding with general statements about \u201cleadership\u201d and \u201cvision\u201d? That does not answer anything.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a voter, I don\u2019t want slogans. I want straight answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you meet with the Prime Minister or not?
Did you ask him those questions or not?
Did you discuss business opportunities and making money or not?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very simple.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You cannot come to the public now talking about \u201cdefamation\u201d and \u201crhetoric\u201d while avoiding the actual issue. If what the Prime Minister said is false, then say clearly that it is false. If it is true, then explain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, it looks like you are dodging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that is a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because if you are asking people to trust you to represent them, then you must be open and direct. You cannot pick and choose when to be transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are paying attention. We are not fools. We heard what was said, and we see how you are responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This election is too important for games and talking points. We need honesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So once again, Mr. Williams \u2014 answer the questions directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,
A Concerned Voter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
