Perhaps I am missing something here? What does the Region Four Chairman have to do with the negotiation between the Government and Buxtonian farmers for compensation for the Government clearing their land so that people may be able to see the gunmen before they arrive in the village?

The scenario should have been the same used as if the Government decided to build a road, put up electricity cables, telephone cables or dig a trench on private land.

Unless the land was owned by the Regional Chairman it has absolutely nothing to do with him/her. So Robert Persaud was correct to say that let him (Robert Persaud) get on with the business he came to do, as the meeting was supposed to be about compensation. Then, when he finished the Regional Chairman can get up and do his/her thing.

Perhaps, Freddie thinks that the rest of the country should wait on Buxton. Perhaps Freddie would like to argue for farmers in Region 2 and Region 3 to get their compensation everytime they get flooded (WHICH THEY DO NOT GET). Or, doesn’t Freddie realise that the farmers in the other Regions are just as important as well?

The people in the Buxton Community were warned that their children were being used by the gunmen as look outs. Some listened, some did not.

Now we are finding out that the gunmen may have “a love” in the community. Imagine Rondell Rawlins had time to get to know Tenisha Morgan.

That sort of relationship does not just happen immediately. Indeed, Rawlins himself confirmed that in the relationship “She understood him and she would not have gone away and let him do that thing”.

Other Communities are just as important as Buxton and deserve the Minister of Agriculture’s time and attention (which I seriously doubt that they will be able to get as he is too busy now having to deal with Buxton).
