Letter to Sir Paul Scoon

Following your disclosure on Community Focus, it is now my position, Sir, that you too must bear a part of the burden of collective responsibility for how events unfolded in Grenada, during the period 1979-1983, to result in the tragedy of October 19th. 1983. You were the Governor-General. It might have been an anomaly, a ludicrous position to be in. In that case, one should not be paid by state funds and be part of a charade. I deem it accountability. As you yourself indicated, people depend on the Governor-General and indeed during that period a number of people looked to you. Did you fail them?
