“Police question two over the release of controversial song” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Police have two men in custody in relation to the release of an expletive-filled about Prime Minister Perry Christie, his family and others, head of the Central Detective Unit (CDU) Chief Superintendent Clayton Fernander said yesterday.

Pressed on whether the production of the song was a criminal offense, Fernander said: “We are working closely with the AG’s (Attorney General’s) Office and then whatever offenses – libel, defamation – we are going to look at all of that.  There are laws against that.”

It would seem that the Attorney General’s office will throw its full weight behind this case, as they should, because the song while it speaks to a deep sense of frustration with the present government clearly defames the character of certain members of the government, most notably the Prime Minister and his entire family but this case seems to highlight the manner in which law/justice is unevenly dished out in this country; because while the Attorney General and the police force now seek to find a case against the persons responsible for this song; where is the justice from the Attorney General’s office for the Marathons constituency against the persons within the Attorney General’s office that were instrumental in concealing the fact that persons health and lives were at risk in that area?

My point?

At least can we get the semblance of evenly applied justice in the country and wasn’t this matter turned over to a ‘private’ entity for review?

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is within their nature.

  1. Why should the AG’s office throw the full weight behind what is essentially just a civil matter possibly involving libel and/or defamation?
    Are we next going to institute laws making it a criminal offense to “insult” leaders and their offices?

  2. The AG’s office seems to be of the mindset that it has to make an example of those that defame the Prime Minister; this person must be made to pay.
    My question is what about the crimes perpetrated by the AG’s office against the people of Marathon, who fights for them?
