On behalf of the PAM – The People’s Action Movement, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims,” Mrs. Grey-Brookes expressed. “Two murders in three days, contributing to a total of 19 murders in the first seven months of 2024, are deeply concerning.”Grey-Brookes acknowledged Prime Minister Dr. Terrence Drew’s recent emergency meeting with the High Command of the Police and Defence Force, where he expressed grave concern over the surge in gun-related incidents.

These newly discussed measures must be implemented effectively and without delay.”Mrs. Grey-Brookes reaffirmed PAM’s readiness to support any initiative that ensures the safety and security of citizens. “The People’s Action Movement stands
