Friday, May 29, 2009: The New National Party (NNP) denounces the NDC Administration’s use of the Police to call in for questioning Radio Host Mr. Allan Campbell, because he was providing an avenue for Grenadians to exercise their constitutional right to freely express themselves.
This action is reminiscent of the detention of others such as Mr. Hugh Wildman who worked for the Government and people of Grenada and on returning to his homeland was intimidated and embarrassed by being held without charge under suspicion that proved to be totally unfounded and false.
The harassment of individuals and curtailing of freedom of speech were never practiced or condoned under the New National Party’s administration. This is one of the many dark changes that the NDC now controlled by certain elements of the past Revolutionary period had in mind for the people of Grenada.
The NNP calls on the NDC Administration and the Commissioner of Police to desist from using such undemocratic and unconstitutional actions and on the government to concentrate on assisting the general populace with jobs and other facets that will improve the deteriorating quality of life.
Further, all threats of arrests against Mr. Campbell or other Media personnel whether planned or not should cease and the NNP calls on the media to monitor and denounce such moves. Today it’s Mr. Allan Campbell, tomorrow it could be anybody.
From the Office of the New National Party
NNP DENOUNCES ACTION AGAINST MR. CAMPBELL
Fellow grenadians now we know the type of persons the NNP and their supporters are, for it is quite clear that they are finding it very hard to come to terms with the fact that our people kick them out of office last july for they had the belief that they were the peoples ruling party. Fellow grenadians we have to watch these people very closely these NNP PEOPLE and their supporter will stop at nothing to create unrest and as one of my fellow writer shelia jones says Mr Campbell is lucky he was not thrown in jail,we do not need this type of persons behaving in the manner to which he was behaving, in another country things would have been different,yes we are still a law abiding and tollerent people in grenada.

With this time of terrorist treat, Mr. Campbell is lucky that he was questioned only by the RGPF and not by the FBI.This warning by Mr Campbell is very serious and the excess money that the NNP has will lead to their DOWNFALL,because it's dishonest money. Instead of Mr Campbell doing something constructive with his time he is only preaching hate and I looked at him on TV, he is a very, very unhappy person,and that unhappiness is not from only from the election's result,SO MR CAMPBELL, YOUR TONGUE WILL FALL AT THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT.
