Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles-Robinson has accused the UNC of attempting to distort the country’s history and undermine national pride.
In a statement today, she chastised the party for divisive and dangerous comments on the country’s 63rd Independence anniversary, instead of promoting unity.
These include claims by UNC PRO Dr Kirk Meighoo that Grantley Adams was the nation’s first Prime Minister and relating to the origins of the national flag.
She emphasized that history cannot be rewritten and insisted that the legacy of Independence must be protected.
