Ministry ought to make a statement

Dear Editor,
The opposition is making hay of the swim incident in which a 14-year-old regrettably lost his life. Instead of offering support to the family at this critical time, blame laying and cheap politicking are the orders of the day and in full flow. To seek to gain political traction from an incident such as this is pure damn nonsense and ought to be condemned.
It is noted the Ministry has not put out a statement on the incident. In the meantime, the opposition is having a field day.
My condolences to the family.

Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
