Thursday August 2nd, 2012: The New National Party is appealing to the  Government of Grenada to strengthen the Ministry of Social services in light of the increasing  crimes of passion and violence being perpetuated among partners  and  individuals  in  communities , thus resulting in murders and serious injuries to our people.

The NNP is demanding that a significant increase for  social and community workers are needed , including an urgent review  in the safety net program , so as to help our citizens most in need to cope with the day to day pressures of life and their inability to meet basic needs of survival.

The NNP is also demanding that the Government of Grenada provide additional support to the Royal Grenada Police Force ( RGPF)  in the areas of community policing , counseling services  and to provide the necessary tools and equipment  for the RGPF to carry out its work effectively.

Moreover, the New National Party is extremely concerned about the continuing rise in unemployment , the continuing lack of confidence by the business sector and the general sense of hopelessness  in  the Government , which has been punctuated by infighting , divisions , deviousness  and their inability to unite the nation.

We call on the Government to look after the needs of the people and not themselves !
