Petition Opposing Attorney General’s Nomination Submitted to National Honours Committee
Ahead of Independence Day, November 1st, constituents of St. John City South are opposing the nomination of their parliamentary representative, Attorney-General Steadroy “Cutie” Benjamin, for a knighthood.
A petition of 80 signatures has been delivered to the chairperson of the National Honour and Awards Committee, urging for reconsideration of the bestowal of this national honour on Benjamin.
Residents question the motivation for this award in light of the deteriorating living conditions in St. John’s City South under Benjamin’s 30-year tenure as the representative.
They also posit that by awarding Benjamin such an high honour, despite his poor track record of performance cheapens the concept of national service.
They believe that it also diminishes the accomplishments of other deserving recipients.
Constituents cite alleged involvement in nefarious activities; charges of criminal conduct; bad advice provided to the Government; and poor representation of the people as the main reasons why Benjamin is unfit for such a high honour.

Another high ranking politician being awarded for failure. You only have to look at the eyesore that is St John’s City South, where Benjamin’s constituents reside – what a mess, and he’s going to be awarded! What for?
Here’s the irony in all of this though.
The man that created the beautiful surroundings around the airport is in prison (and rightly so!); and the man that hasn’t made any real improvements in town is being rewarded and praised to high heaven.
NO WONDER THE WORLD AH LAUGH AT WE …
Remember, when Brixtonian WRITES, the Benjaminites, the Gastonites and ABLP acolytes think TWICE.

You all talking about these things. Can you talk about the things he did, how much people he help, how much children he sent to school on his pocket and so many other things he has done. Just like Lester Bird. I didn’t know that he did so much for that country until he died, because people spent so much time criticizing him instead of uplifting him. They took him for papishow when this man did so much for this country. Give Cutie his roses while he still alive. You Antigua too ungrateful. Forget red and blue. Give him his due. I love you Cutie and though you may not know me, I know you. You were good to my mom, to all of Fibrey, to my family and to me. We never leave in your constancy but you never turn down someone. You went out your way to help people even when they took advantage of you. They got you in trouble, when all you did was notarized something. I’ve paid for notorization and the people didn’t know me either. You did nothing but help help help. But like us we are a set of ungrateful bunch.
Holyghostgirl, you can’t be serious. So because he assisted a few people, we must turn a blind eye to all his corrupt practices and the poor state of his ministry? He was elected to work for the people and he has failed miserably!
City South constituency petition the knighthood of Cutie….wow 80 signatures really. And you called that a petition? Well its more than what petitioned the Governor General for weeks to call an enquiry.
Oh sorry I forgot…all they do is oppose…oppose and oppose…that’s there are the Opposition and the alternative Government….
I’m not saying that Cutie is deserving… everything around here is determined by politicians. Why not publish all nominees that the honors committee received …so the nation can have a say…
Why are so silent about the National Hero award for Short Shirt
