Marigot: -- Former School teacher and activist Leopold James will be making a presentation to the Territorial Councilor and civil servants on Monday. James said he was invited by the President of the Collectivity of St. Martin Frantz Gumbs. He is expected to inform his audience on the island’s Cultural identity.
Almost two weeks ago James had sent a letter to Gumbs requesting a meeting to discuss the escalating crime rate on both sides of the island. It is not clear if the president’s invitation has anything to do with the letter sent to him by James.
James is also scheduled to meet with the island Lt. Governor and Chief of Police on Wednesday where he would be discussing his ideas and structural approach into combating crime.
After the meeting with the governor and the president of the COM, James would take the opportunity to invite all associations, the business community and citizens in a joint effort to achieve unity in the community, as a deterrent for crime.
