Dr Mitchell calls Camerons response Amazing Disrespect
Fri, Nov 20, '15
ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) – Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell on Thursday slammed what he called an “amazing level of disrespect” on the part of West Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron, as pressure continued to mount on the beleaguered Board to meet urgently with Caricom leaders over the Governance Review Panel report.
Mitchell, the chairman of Caricom’s Cricket Governance Committee, stopped short of issuing an ultimatum to the WICB but urged Cameron to rethink his decision not to accommodate a meeting with regional Heads before the Board of Directors meeting on December 12 in St Lucia.
Cameron has been adamant about the WICB’s inability to accommodate the Caribbean leaders prior to the already scheduled meeting and reiterated this position in written communication to Caricom Secretary-General Irwin LaRocque on Tuesday.
“It is quite amazing the level of disrespect. The level of lack of understanding of the importance of this is quite frightening and I don’t think I should hold back any words,” Mitchell said bluntly, as he spoke on the last day of the OECS Summit here.
