Every citizen of Grenada is to be a watchman, keeping an eye on our porous borders for example at Woburn and Perseverance.
Asking the question who is the stranger in our neighbourhood whilst listening to discern the twang in the voice so as to try to zero in on his/her nationality.
The greatest threat is our southern border impervious to ruthless criminals and fraudsters slipping in on speed boats in the many coves found in St. David’s.
An RGPF sub-station is urgently needed to be erected strategically in the area with paid informers selected in recognised hot spots.
There are drug-related sleepers particularly in Woburn, Four Roads and Mon Toute among others. Overtime, these sleepers can be identified and placed on 24/7 watch.
The same would apply for strangers appearing for the first time in a village for very long, extended stays. And as for entry through our legal ports of entry, how well-trained are our Immigration Staff to figure out who’s who?
We, in Grenada, are to realise that we are at a stage where “fighting fire with fire” is the new norm. No more will Grenada be considered a sleepy, laid-back destination, it is in the eyes of the drug lords easy prey.
The entry of people entering from Piarco Airport around the Carnival period should be a period of intense scrutiny. We do not wish for the Spice to be overrun with hooligans as is the case in Trinidad where lax leadership is being paid for at the present time.
The two main political parties, instead of placing their focus on national security, they paid greater emphasis on racial superiority.
GOD, PLEASE HELP US at this time when we need it most. Amen.
The Watchman
