Monday, February 06 2006
Youth Minister Senator Emmalin Pierre remains firm that she can assist in youth development. There was talk within circles recently when the Minister was appointed to a senior position by Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell.
But during a sitting of the Senate on Friday, the Youth Minister said if one is seriously thinking about the future of young people and rebuilding the country particularly after two hurricanes, it must be realized that they play an important role in the process.Pierre said given the importance of young people and the work which needs to be done for youth development projects to become a reality, she fully supports the National Reconstruction Levy which was implemented at the end of January.
And reflecting on Grenada’s experience during and after hurricanes Ivan and Emily, a call was made by independent Senator for Business Aaron Moses to treat the subject of disaster preparedness seriously.Senator Moses said hurricane experts have already predicted a hectic Atlantic hurricane season for 2006, and he believes the whole question of addressing vulnerability to hazards has to become a central and integral feature of any disaster planning process.
With the hurricane season only four months away, Senator Moses stated that disaster management must permeate in everything that is done in the country.
