The real question has been asked
with no real answer.
Why, if the UDP Government and the
PPM Government and all the rest of the people on Grand Cayman came together and
built back Cayman after the worst storm we ever had destroyed so much of this
island, why are we not still working together?
Well at a meeting in Bodden Town
this question was asked by me, Emile S. Levy, to the present leader of this
country, and his foolish answer was that he did not know and maybe I could give
him the answer.
Well should the leader try his very
best to know these things? Imagine what he does not know. Perhaps if he had
spent more time getting educated and learning more about “United we stand,
divided we fall”, he would have some better answers than “I don’t know”. In a
time like this, with the things that we are now facing on our island, we do not
need the people divided like the present leader is and has been doing; we need
each person on this island to be his brother’s keeper.
We are all in this for better or
for worse and we do not need it any worse like so many people are trying to
make it. The leadership does not see people are packing up and leaving Cayman.
What are he and his government trying to do to really help anyone to stay?
All you can hear is how we need
more people here with us. A blind man can see better than him and his present
bunch of clowns that follow him. Before you can help outsiders, you must have a
proper plan to help your own people. And don’t just talk about helping, do so.
And by the way, I am not talking about quick fixes like the road cleanup crews.
People of the Cayman Islands, when
we find ourselves in a position where the leadership do not respect the wishes
of the people and want to do as they please, it is time for us to take a real
good look at ourselves and our elected members of government. For instead of
our people and island going forward in a better position, we are going
backward, mainly because of uneducated leaders that do not respect the people
and are mostly hungry for power.
And as always, they are quick to
blame others just to try and move attention away from their wrong doing and
failures. I must remind you I wrote crime wave on November 9th 2009 telling you
what you could expect in the near future. Well for all of you that can remember
that letter, look at what is going on now. Each time the UDP Government
controls the power in this country we have more crime than any other time. I
wonder why? Maybe Mr. Mackeeva Bush can answer this for all of us, that is if
he knows why.
If the Cayman people do not get
their act together and put in Government some well-educated leaders, we will
all suffer in the future. Leaders that use other people’s plans for our people
will condemn us to a life of pain and suffering. If you do not include your
people in the future plans for this island and get their approval on these
plans well, you are falling already. But if you include your people and listen
to their advice, then and only then will you really know what direction your
people want you to go.
We at present are not in the very
best [shape]. For we have seen better days, but borrowing $185 million and
spending it all overnight will not put us back in good shape. The leadership
must come together with all the people and put together a national plan that
will keep us out of the poor house and place our island back on top where it
belongs. After all, no one man is this island.
So my good Cayman people and all
other that are here with us, please change from UDP and PPM to united we stand for the betterment
of all on Cayman; divided we fall and this is bad for us all.
Emile S. Levy
