Bishop Chesley Ferdinand of the Wilson Hill New Testament Church says the only way to mitigate crime in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is for the people to go back to the Word of God.
Bishop Ferdinand was at the time addressing a thanksgiving service at the church held in collaboration with the RSVG Police Force.
“If the amount of money put into carnival is lessen and we don’t have those set of big shows where alcohol and other form of vileness is practice the police will not have so much work at that time, and if some of that money is put into the church” . . .
Bishop Ferdinand said another way the government can stop crime is to lessen some of the secular activities and suggested that money should be taken from carnival and put into the Church so the church can carry out its mandate.
