Protocol dictates that one never speaks evil of the dead. Mindful of such this writer seeks to thread boldly along the boundaries of truth, the intended goal being the revelation of fact in relation to the late Sir Richard Christopher Haynes in his role of parliamentary representative for the constituency of St.Michael South Central.
It rips at ones last nerve to hear callers to the brass-tacks program tell their audience that on some moral stand this person, the ultimate narcissist, with an ego too big to fit a single parish in the country parted company with the DLP. Let history record that had Dr.Haynes received the support of his parliamentary colleagues, where he rather than Sir Lloyd would have been the leader, he would have accepted paternity of the brainchild he later referred to as A Backstreet Abortion.
Like Sir Frederick Gladstone Smith’s neglect of South Central became the trait for which he was best known. Like Clyde Mascoll the virtue of patience fell victim to the lure of unbridled ambition. His contribution to our country, that of a medicinal value must surely be recognized and appreciated. Like all others this writer says thanks and rest in peace.
