St George’s Grenada, May 21, 2012: The New National Party on Sunday May 20, 2012 held a Massive Rally in the Parish of St John’s under the theme “NNP TO THE RESCUE”

The very large crowd numbering over six thousands (6000 ) was very animated throughout the four plus hours of the Rally as they listened intently to the message of Hope from the united team of the NNP.

The Caretaker for St John’s, Mr. Alvin Dabreo who was approached by the NDC to join their party but refused, said he is proud to be associated with the NNP; a Party that has consistently demonstrated that it genuinely loves people.

Mr. Da Breo an engineer by profession promised the people of St John’s that an NNP government will bring an end to the suffering and hardship the people of the constituency have be experiencing under the NDC.  An NNP Government will ensure:

• The construction of a new health centre.
• That the fishing community of St John’s gets to use the new fish complex.
• That the fishermen of St John’s gets to purchase ice at the plant rather than travelling to grand mal thus allowing them more time for fishing at a lower cost.
• The one lane Hubble back bridge will be replaced with a two lane modern one.

There were also speeches from Mr. Nicholas Steele who challenge the MP for the town of St George to stop playing games with the lives of the people of the constituency, “will the real Peter David stand up.”

Mrs. Ottway-Noel who lamented the fact that the Royal Caribbean Cruise line has rescinded their decision and is coming back to the region but not to Grenada because the Tourism Authority did not see it fit to lobby the company as the other islands did.

Senator Bowen – You can count on the NNP to look into the signing of the treaty with Trinidad to ensure that the people receive the benefits that is in it for them.

Dr Modeste-Cuwen – “the no confidence motion was necessary because of the cries of the people.  We heard their cries and had to act on their behalf.”

Hon. Elvin Nimrod – “the briefcase is now replaced with US $150,000.00 approximately EC$400,500.00. We therefore call on the Prime Minister to disclose the facts.”

The political leader who spoke last admonished that the first order of business when the NNP gets back into office is to unite the country.  As a people we cannot go on hating and hurting people.  Secondly we have to restore confidence.  No Minister will maligned any investor.

Dr Mitchell also took the opportunity to call on the FIU to investigate an alleged money transaction where the law of Grenada was broken. “The FIU is supposed to be an independent body, so show your independence.”

While not calling any names, he said the sum of US $ 150,000. Came from Saudi Arabia to the Republic Bank and alleges that Prime Minister Tillman Thomas and leader of the NDC know exactly who received the money.

We are waiting eagerly to see how the FIU will act.
