Richard Naraine owes the President, PM a public apology

Dear Editor,
I am not a very big fan of comedy shows, but on Boxing Day (December 26) I was watching television on NCN Channel 11, and also on Channel 65, where the Richard Naraine comedy show was being aired. To be honest, I am not very much interested in all these comedy shows, but Mr Naraine mentioned some immoral things on his show that made me think very deeply. He always talks to a person on a phone he refers to as Uncle George, but on Boxing Day he went to the extreme where he made mentioned of the President’s and Prime Minister’s private parts. I do not know who this man Richard Naraine is, but he is stepping beyond his boundaries by the foolishness he articulates on national television and radio. How can this man disrespect the President and Prime Minister by talking about their private parts? It is my firm opinion that Richard Naraine should apologise to the President and Prime Minister, and also his show should be banned from television and radio. I also note with a great deal of interest that many of these link shows at the Cultural Centre and many plays make a lot of defamatory and immoral speeches, including cuss words, sexual overtures and tons of racial and political remarks. When our young people see these shows it creates more racial, political and religious problems in our society. It is my firm view that many of our playwrights here should do more reading and receive more teachings if they wish to produce plays of substance.
I call upon the Social Protection Minister and Public Security Minister to take a look at Mr Naraine’s show that was aired on Boxing Day to make their evaluation. I also call on the management of these TV stations to look at every programme first before they air it. Richard Naraine owes the President and Prime Minister a public apology.

Yours truly,
Rev Gideon Cecil
