Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress can­di­date for Point Fortin, Ernesto Ke­sar, ac­cused out­go­ing Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley of lack­ing em­pa­thy to­wards vic­tims of crime and their fam­i­lies.

Ke­sar was com­ment­ing on Row­ley’s re­sponse to a ques­tion on crime dur­ing a re­cent in­ter­view with jour­nal­ists in a pre-record­ed broad­cast ti­tled From Ma­son Hall to White­hall: The Clos­ing Chap­ter.

Asked if he had failed to ad­dress the crime sit­u­a­tion, Row­ley said, “I would not use the word fail. I would say that we have been chal­lenged, be­fore I came in­to this of­fice. We have been chal­lenged through­out the pe­ri­od and as I leave the chal­lenge con­tin­ues. But it is not a ques­tion of an ab­sence of ef­fort.”
