  1. Good to see the Commission getting ahead of things, Independence is always a big deal and organization is key.

    • “ahead of things”???? You mean trying to BE ABOVE THE LAW!!! The law clearly states that if November 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Ceremonial Parade and other activities will be held the following Monday. Now all of a sudden FC DICTATING THAT THE PARADE WILL BE HELD ON THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. Wah can go so?

  2. Independence celebrations are one of the few times the whole nation comes together, it’s important to get the planning right.
