One week after a damaging audio recording became public, in which the voices of two alleged People’s National Party (PNP) officials could be heard discussing ways to discredit Major General Antony Anderson in his role as head of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), the party has broken its silence on the matter. The issue was the first item on the agenda at a meeting of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) on Sunday.

Editorial | Who graduates high school?
This newspaper is clear: so-called ‘graduation” at basic, early childhood and primary schools are comic pastiches that embarrass and ridicule rather than enlighten.
