I READ an article captioned: “Least qualified Sooba named as Town Clerk.” In that article, the Deputy Mayor Mrs Patricia Chase-Green is claiming that the post for Town Clerk was “advertised” and there were other entrants worthy of selection, but Sooba was selected only because of her so-called association with the ruling party. This is the insinuation in her diatribe of a letter. But before I join Green’s circus I would like to ask the question: how did the two Greens get into office? What good qualities got them there? If this is not another sick joke, what is Patricia Chase-Green talking about? Everyone knows that both the mayor and deputy were planted there by the PNC mafia. He, after falling from prime ministerial grace sought refuge in the mayoral chair whilst the other Green, a party hack, was helped into office by a PNC-dominated council. If this is not the case then enlighten me please. So, if we are to use her own “qualification for office talk” what is so special about theirs that makes Sooba wrong?

The point is, Sooba has become a problem for Green and a derelict City Council because of her keen sense of duty and hard work. For this she has become target practice for the mayor and his deputy.

Let me remind readers of the horrendous experience another keen hardworking Town Clerk had to endure at the hands of the very same mayor. Some years ago, Hamilton Green openly called former Town Clerk Beulah Williams a “head heifer”, a denigrating term for a noble lady who was trying to do an honest job in the city. Beulah was called this and other horrible names because she did not go along with Green’s nasty and nefarious deeds hence, this poor excuse for a man who tried everything at his disposal to bring her down.
It is a dirty political strategy used by the PNC whenever they want to get rid of someone who challenges them or whom they think is going contrary to their corruption. In their Black Book you are a marked individual once you venture out and expose their evil deeds. You immediately become an enemy (the worst living breathing human being) who must be gotten rid of as fast as possible. When I say to be gotten rid of, I mean just that, because history is replete with instances where supposed political opponents suddenly turned up dead or mysteriously disappeared. Walter Rodney is a case in point.
Now, the latest call by Chase-Green is certainly amusing because I would first pose the question: How did Hamilton Green and Patricia Chase-Green get there? What qualifications they possess to ever hold such lofty positions?
What I do know also is that his DNA is laced with an unhealthy dose of corrupt practices too numerous to mention, yet he held positions such as vice-president, prime minister and mayor among other things.

What I would advise Chase-Green and the tabloid that facilitates her is to first do their homework before exposing their stupidity in such a vile and stupendous manner.
