Dear Editor,

Dwayne Vaz’s shocking comments at a PNP rally a few days ago, with instructions of “loading” and “run in on” the opponents, based on lyrics from dancehall great Vybz Kartel song titled

Weh Dem Feel Like, proves that he is not mentally prepared for 2015 modern-day politics. It shows that intellectually he has what some would call a “baby brain”.

To be fair to Vaz, he didn’t actually say the word gun, he said “gu..” in baby language. So, I guess we can infer whatever we want from that, just like with babbling babies.

I will not say how disappointed I am in him, as from the get-go I had reservations about him. This immature behaviour only solidifies my initial thoughts.

This mafia-like stance has no place in our country, much less on the platform of our sitting Government which expects us to return it to power.

This gutter politics behaviour is not much better than the very premature outburst from the president of the Senate, Senator Floyd Morris, a few weeks ago, in relations to the murder of two individuals in St Catherine, that he claims was politically motivated. The police is yet to side with the senator.

Am I to think this is a new trend from the People’s National Party leading up to a general election? Am I to really think they are rallying the troops to be ready to incite violence on the opponents based on “uncertain facts” as was the case with both Vaz and Morris?

The prime minister, Queen Portia, again, proves that she does not care about anything that happens in the country unless it impacts her. She is yet to even whisper any form of condemnation publicly about baby brain Vaz’s tyrant-like stance on her platform. This, again, slaps us in the face, as we really see that Mama P has lost all credibility to discipline her team, even the newbies.

The Jamaica Labour Party may indeed have “baby strength”, but I would prefer to invest in someone with “baby strength” rather than a grown-up with a “baby brain”. That move would be to my chagrin.
