THE EDITOR, Sir:
I SEE our popular preacher and an honourable man, the Rev. Blair, appointed Political Ombudsman. He has our blessings.
Was this a permanent job or only to oversee electoral exercise or a call to clean up whatever was going amiss in the political arena. Mr. Editor I would like an answer. Why do we have two Ombudsmen?
We have Mr. Howard Hamilton our present Ombudsman, a man without guile, a man blessed with all the attributes, legal and otherwise a searching mind; Why another Ombudsman?
Five things are required of a good Ombudsman:
Ability, clean hands, dispatch, patience and last of all and so important, impartiality.
This is what Howard Hamilton is made of. I will say again we cannot afford this luxury while children go naked and starving.
I am, etc.,
RAYMOND GOLDSMITH
