Former opposition leader Bishop Joseph Atherley is accusing the two main political parties of politicising crime and is urging law enforcement authorities to go after the financiers of gun imports.Frowning on the recent spike in gun violence that has included brazen attacks in public spaces, Atherley said it is time for the ruling Barbados Labour Party (BLP) and the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) to stop blaming each other for the upsurge in crime.“We need to get robust with matters of justice and sentencing, investigations, and police prosecutions. We need to get robust and tough with these things. We are dealing with this matter of crime and cannot, to date, put hands on the big people who may be involved in the importation of weapons into Barbados.
