Knight FALMOUTH, Trelawny:
MINISTER OF National Security and Justice, K. D. Knight, had the support of a large crowd in the Falmouth Town Hall at a Community Meeting on Thursday, until the issue of conditions at the Falmouth Police Station came up.
"We are putting plans in place to build a police station. Plans are being worked on now and I am going to drive it in," the Minister said. A token applause followed, as well as shouts of, "When and where?" The Minister did not respond.
On the matter of the recent killing of the seven men in Braeton, St. Catherine, even before Mr. Knight responded to the matter, a large number of persons in the gathering shouted support for the police's actions.
Mr. Knight said, however, that there is a process by which things are done and he is following this process. He said that persons sometimes want politicians to act in a particular way when it suits them, but cry political interference when it doesn't.
When it was suggested by a member of the audience that, before the Caribbean Court of Justice is established, the local judicial system should be cleaned up, the minister reeled off a litany of injustices carried out by some of the larger more populous nations, including Great Britain.
On the Offensive Weapons Bill, Mr. Knight used a number of knives to illustrate his argument that they should be banned. A wide cross-section of the audience supported him.
