It's About Time

It took long enough but there are now some serious action being taken by the Opposition. Frans Richardson was in the media explaining that the Opposition was bringing a motion to the Island Council for the Board of the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) to either give instruction to Cr. Scot to allow Dr. Friday to open his clinic or be removed from the Board.
I applaud this move but it has taken far too long for the Opposition to make this serious step. This step should have been taken one week after the so-called opening of the clinic, not 4 months. After all the DP Commissioners were there supporting Dr. Friday.
It was time to put Government to the test. To many time politicians say things that they don’t really mean, and in my opinion it is the duty of the opposing politicians to call them out on it. The NA doesn’t seem to understand this or don’t like to do it.
