In the past few days, I’ve been the victim of a series of personal attacks aimed at tarnishing my reputation. Their objective is simple: Get me out of the way as early as possible.

The last desperate shot was taken by the PL media, which recycled the story of a case that occurred in 1994, when I was a student and which demonstrates little else than my youthful zeal to join the Police Corps.

Although the case was conclusively debated in Parliament in 2001, the Labour Party media chooses to periodically rekindle its interest in this matter and echo its spin in an attempt to weaken my credibility.

These attacks are indicative of a party that is focused on undermining the achievements that this country has registered through the years. I am proud to have served in several roles, which have led to such successes.

The Labour Party media has again revealed its divisive politics: Attack anyone as long as it results in some sort of perceived political mileage. Our country deserves better than that.

Puerile tactics harm the perpetrators and not its targets. These attacks will energise me further to work in the best interest of my country, my constituency and the Nationalist Party.
