Thank you for your opinion Mr Editor based purely on in-comprehensive secondary information. 

Also thank you for giving everyone the right of reply in your widely read newspaper, whenever the need arises. 

Nevertheless, may I offer clarification that to suggest that I “praised” the Prime Minister is too strong a term to be attributed to me, where he is concerned.

Instead, I ‘commended’ him for correcting his earlier action of delegating such an unsavoury and despicable matter of the undesirable five deportees to a junior officer of Government, known as spokesperson, by calling a press conference and facing the Nation. 

I even stated that not that I agree with the content of his statement issued at the press conference. 

In my submission, I also submitted that it was unacceptable that he chose not to inform Cabinet about this matter, because of the possibility of leakages, yet the damage is now monumental and is he left alone, and Ministers have removed themselves from this hot potato. 

I further sought answers from him about unconfirmed reports of more dangerous criminals coming; the signed agreement, etc.

Otherwise, I condemn the actions of the Prime Minister in so far as this matter is concerned, without reservation.
