He has also waged an expensive public relations campaign in the
media, forcing onlookers to ask: Who’s funding Steve?
Then he organised the Death March late last year that drew a reasonable
crowd.
But the “cat was let out of the bag” concerning Cadiz’s
real motives when he attended a meeting recently in La Romaine.
One of the activists at the meeting told TnT Mirror: “I heard
it before and I paid the comment no attention, but when I saw how
Cadiz behaved at that meeting in La Romaine, called by interest
groups to form a body to protest the building of the smelter plants
in Cedros and elsewhere, and the attacks on the environment, I became
convinced that his motives were solely political.
“For starters, even though everyone was given five minutes
to talk, he hogged the floor for close to 30 minutes, rehashing
the whole story about the Death March, etc.
“It was almost as if he was attempting to sell himself as
a big champion of the people to the audience.
“The audience became restless with his boring speech and some
people even walked out.
“Then when the call went out for the formation of a committee
to include all the groups, a Cadiz sidekick immediately jumped up
and proposed that he (Cadiz) be made a member of the committee.
“He spoke about Cadiz’ contribution through the Stephen
Cadiz 136 Committee, yes the Stephen Cadiz, not the Keith Noel Committee,
a name change that nobody seems to have known about until then.
“And as if that wasn’t enough, he then recommended that
Cadiz be made the chairman of the committee.
“A lot of persons present turned and watched one another.”
The activist suggested: “Go brave, Cadiz the politician.
“There is room in the political cemetery.”
