Kareem Says Shyne is Obsessed with Him
Panton’s presentation was fairly tame, but Caribbean Shores Area Representative Kareem Musa began by recognizing that Panton’s line of reasoning essentially supported the Briceño administration’s achievements over the past fiscal year. He did throw a few barbs at the Leader of the Opposition.
Kareem Musa, Area Representative, Caribbean Shores
“In many ways, Madam Speaker, while she did not say so, she was endorsing this government’s performance for the last year and four months. She acknowledged the fairness in our government that we are providing them with the community development fund. She acknowledged that our Minister of Education does not play politics in terms of the development and progress of our children. She acknowledged, Madam Speaker, that dehn di get house under P.U.P. But, Madam Speaker, compare that now to my good friend, the member for Mesopotamia’s presentation yesterday. Madam Speaker, it is clear that he showed up yesterday completely unprepared to discuss this budget in any serious analytical way. Yes, I believe he was jetlagged, Madam Speaker. He came here, Madam Speaker, and his entire focus, as is always the case, speaking on something that is all too familiar to him: crime and violence. Madam Speaker, he spoke about the member for Fort George being obsessed with him. Well I don’t know what you would call the way he was so unhealthily obsessed with me yesterday. It makes me wonder, Madam Speaker, whether he had a special friend named Kareem at Clinton Correctional, but he would have to see a real doctor about that.”
