ONLINE READERS COMMENT: Dr Phillips, where is the PNP renewal?
Dear Editor,
It really amazed me when I heard Dr Peter Phillips the “official leader” of the PNP calling himself “Team Renewal”Since assuming that post he has neither said nor done nothing to substantiate his claim of renewal. It is the same old (no pun intended) Peter Phillips who was unable to convince PNP delegates to vote for him, not once, but twice.Dr Phillips has failed to address any issues involving the PNP. He has not addressed the missing US$20 million campaign funds, he has not addressed the failings of his administration; and neither has he come clean and addressed the things he was alleged to have said about Portia Simpson Miller in a Wikileaks document.The online dictionary gives the meaning of renewal as “replacing and repair of something that is worn out, run down or broken.”Is he saying that this is the condition the PNP is in? I am baffled to think that Dr Phillips believes that the Jamaican people will trust him more than the PNP delegates who refused him? No longer will slogans work on the psyche of the people — from ‘Better Mus’ Come,’ to ‘Black Man Time,’ to ‘Renewal’. We have become a sophisticated electorate who will not be conned (again) by the PNP.So Dr Phillips, changing one’s clothes does not make a changed man.Jack E Brown
