NJAM’s Panel Discussion on the Kidnapping and Disappearance of Kernisha Etienne

The National Joint Action Movement (NJAM) will hold a virtual panel discussion at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, to address concerns related to the alleged abduction/kidnapping and disappearance of twelve-year-old Kernisha Etienne of Warner.

The participants in the panel discussion are attorneys at law Singoalla Blomquist-Williams, Cara Shillingford and John Elue Charles and former senior police officer Nicholas George.

The topic for discussion is “Best Practice in handling crisis situations; kidnapping, abduction, and hostage-taking: The sad situation of Kernisha Etienne”,

NJAM is very much concerned about the well–being of the child and though faced with the reality that only a miracle will lead to her being discovered alive, all efforts must be made to continue the search for Kernisha Etienne to bring closure to the matter.

In this regard, NJAM appeals to the authorities to continue the search and to deploy all the necessary resources and to seek the assistance of our regional neighbors and further afield to help us to bring closure to this heartbreaking situation.

The panel discussion will focus on how to prevent future incidents of that type, considering that criminal activities are usually replicated with the copycat syndrome.

It must be noted that an invitation was extended to the Commissioner or a representative of the Commonwealth of Dominica police service to participate.

NJAM continues to appeal to all Dominicans to remember Kernisha Etienne in their prayers and to stop the politicization of a situation where the entire country is hurting.

The panel discussion will be streamed live on Zoom and broadcast on Q95FM radio. All media houses are encouraged to stream the event on their respective platforms.
