Like most TCIslanders, I am profoundly disappointed by the latest extension in the deadline (from 30 April to 31 May 2009) for the submission of Sir Robin’s final report on the Commission of Inquiry into corruption in the TCI.
I believe I can assert without fear of contradiction, however, that our disappointment stems entirely from the concomitant delay in the relief we expect to feel when this report is finally submitted. After all, that will trigger the end of this latest PNP governing spree that has been the source and cause of so much of our national woes.
Of course, I’m reminded of the widespread frustrations that greeted similar extensions in the schedule for the Commission’s hearings. Yet I’m sure I can assert without fear of contradiction that those frustrations were immediately allayed once those hearings were convened.
Nevertheless, I appreciate how unbearable it must be to have to watch this PNP government in its last throes; especially as manifestations of its incompetent and allegedly corrupt rule continue to blight our island paradise.
But I’m convinced that there’s enlightened purpose to Sir Robin’s process.
Therefore, I commend Governor Wetherell for addressing all concerns in this respect in the comprehensive interview he gave here yesterday. And I fully support his decision to grant Sir Robin all the time he needs to complete the Commission’s final report.
