“Ministers renting Ridout Road bungalows: What analysts say about the pros and cons of Govt’s handling of the matter so far” (Today, May 25)

“Political and communications analysts welcomed the Government’s review on the rentals of Ridout Road state properties by two Cabinet ministers”

Comment:

One doesn’t need to be an analyst or expert to say the obvious – A review by a senior Minister on the 2 cabinet Ministers, is an “independent review”?

“This is better than leaving the matter until Parliament debates it in July, they added

There are good reasons to do a thorough review over several weeks, rather than rush to release a statement, for instance

It is important for facts and circumstances to be properly researched and presented before more discussions can take place”

-Why can’t the question that everybody is asking be simply disclosed now?

– What are the rentals & the guide rents?

You mean this information needs to be “properly researched and presented before more discussions can take place”?

“However, in the meantime, some members of public may continue to speculate as they wait for answers to their questions”

Comment:

Can you imagine if the analysts’ views on how the Govt has handled the matter – happens in another country like the United Kingdom – would the media have written the subject article?
