Tomorrow night at about this time, Manuel Esquivel, Said Musa and Dean Barrow will be sharing the same stage at the Bliss Center. Why? Well, they won't be debating, or acting in a play. It's the first Prime Minister's Forum.
The event is to have all three sit together and discuss - in a civil manner - with the guidance of a moderator - what was their vision for development.
Now, if you've seen house meetings, you'll know that there are rarely civil exchanges between former Prime Ministers, but the organizers at the Institute of Social and Cultural Research are hoping for an enlightening exchange.
Shari Williams told us more:...
Shari Williams, Public Relations NICH
"We are inviting all former Prime Ministers along with our current Prime Minister for a sit down and a talk - a reflection. It's not a debate; it's a reflection on what their visions and inspirations were when they were leaders of our country. We felt that it was very important for us at this stage, at our 30th anniversary as a Nation to have a constructive discussion, on where we are and where they see us going. We're trying to make sure that it does not become partisan nor it does not become personal. We are looking at a reflective discussion, at no point will the leaders of our country be directing question to each other, hence the moderator Mr. Dyllan Vernon. We hope to keep it cordial, we hope to keep it pleasant and we hope to keep it intuitive".
With such divergent views tomorrow's event ought to be interesting. It starts at 7:00 and the public is invited to attend. If you can't it will be airing on Channel 7 right after tomorrow's news.
