NDC WOMEN’S ARM STATEMENT

In recent weeks we have been bombarded with innuendos, ludicrous, and false allegations against our hard-working and diligent Minister of Finance, and Deputy Political Leader of the NDC, Nazim Burke.

We listened to Mr. Burke's media interview on Sundays with George Grant on September 26th, 2010, as he revealed to the Nation his personal financial situation and the level of forgery which has been perpetuated against him and his wife, and are more convinced that Grenada is fortunate to have a most dedicated and hardworking Minister of Finance in Nazim Burke.

Tuesday, October 5th 2010 – San Juan, Puerto Rico: The Cayman Islands and hosts, Puerto Rico, are both looking to top the Group tomorrow night when the first round of matches in the Digicel Caribbean Cup 2010 come to a close.

St. Martin are second bottom in the Group having lost to Puerto Rico and drawing against the Cayman Islands.
