The People’s National Party has backpedalled on its description of its 10 point crime plan. 

Shadow Minister for National Security, Fitz Jackson says it is a 10 point  approach to a crime plan, and not a formal plan.

The Shadow Minister says it’s almost impossible for the PNP to craft a detailed crime plan, as they are the opposing party.

He says the Opposition does not have access to all the necessary information.

Speaking with NCU FM News today, Mr. Jackson outlined some critical areas of information that the Opposition is without access to.

He says there’s a “deficiency in capacity.”

This 10 point approach to a crime plan was put forward by the PNP on January 23.

This is the second such crime initiative being out forward by the Opposition since 2017.  

The Opposition has received sharp criticism since unveiling this plan, with comments online labelling it as vague and desperate.
