Retired police officer Decastro Richards, known publicly as 'Evangelist Richie,' has delivered a pointed moral and spiritual rebuke of the nation's political leadership in the days leading up to the polls.
According to Antigua Observer, Richards — a member of the First Church of The Nazarene — spoke with Observer Media to address recent political rhetoric, specifically targeting comments allegedly made regarding the conduct of party colleagues.
The remarks from Richards represent a convergence of spiritual authority and civic concern, as the former law enforcement officer used his platform to call attention to what he characterised as a troubling moral tone within the political arena ahead of the upcoming vote.
