The New National Party is appealing to the Government of Grenada to strengthen the Ministry of Social services in light of the increasing crimes of passion and violence being perpetuated among partners and individuals in communities , thus resulting in murders and serious injuries to our people.

The NNP is demanding that a significant increase for social and community workers are needed , including an urgent review in the safety net program , so as to help our citizens most in need to cope with the day to day pressures of life and their inability to meet basic needs of survival.

The NNP is also demanding that the Government of Grenada provide additional support to the Royal Grenada Police Force ( RGPF) in the areas of community policing , counseling services and to provide the necessary tools and equipment for the RGPF to carry out its work effectively.

Moreover, the New National Party is extremely concerned about the continuing rise in unemployment , the continuing lack of confidence by the business sector and the general sense of hopelessness in the Government , which has been punctuated by infighting , divisions , deviousness and their inability to unite the nation.

We call on the Government to look after the needs of the people and not themselves
