Written on 07 March 2013.

The GSD Opposition has taken issue with Minister Sacramento’s comments to the media, on her attendance of a UN women’s conference, that: “There is a lot of work to be done in this field (women’s issues) given that this area was never one of concern for the previous administration”.

When will the Government begin to answer questions put to them rather than maintaining their policy of ‘shooting the messenger’?'
