Revelations of an alleged assassination plot against Minister Wayne Sturge have heightened national security concerns. Reports link the threat to two illegal quarry operators, a lawyer with ties to the UNC, and even a senior military officer. Intelligence details allegedly include specific vehicles and locations.
The Opposition questions why, despite the wealth of information available, no arrests have been made. They argue that this lack of decisive action undermines public confidence in law enforcement and raises doubts about the true motives behind the cancellation of the Independence Parade.
The threats reportedly stemmed from disputes over state and constituency-level appointments. The Opposition insists that government must act decisively and transparently, not only to protect officials but to demonstrate that no group is beyond the reach of the law.
