Time To Change Persons Responsible For The National Awards
I continue to get complaints about persons who have received National Awards over the years. Some persons have gone as far as saying that they should change the person or persons responsible for the awards.
A few years ago I objected to Grace Jones being awarded the OJ. I objected because I believe that the award should not only be about personal achievements, but also about the outstanding character and integrity of the awardee. Person who get such awards should be persons who the people of this country can emulate.
Person have said to me also that Elaine Thompson-Herah should not get an award nor be given a diplomatic passport. I have received reports of Elaine's relationship with the MVP club at UTech and there are many question marks. There are concerns also about the breaking news of her leaving the MVP club. She denied the story and then she ends up leaving the club. The question being asking is, "Was she truthful when she was asked about leaving the club and she said it was rumours?
