On New Year’s Eve the leadership of the New Democratic Party (NDP), including Leader of the Opposition Arnhim Eustace and West Kingstown MP, Daniel Cummings, along with Sen. Vynnette Frederick and NDP’s candidate for North Windward, Lauron “Sheara” Baptiste, toured the flood affected communities of Fancy, Owia, Sandy Bay, Magum and Overland, where they met with the people, delivered drinking water, and listened to the accounts of how persons are managing through water shortages and the trauma of this national disaster.
Eustace and his group met with villagers in Magum whose house roofs were damaged since the passing of Hurricane Tomas in 2010, and who received no assistance from government to fix the damage, solely because they do not support the government.
Eustace again made the call for the government to ensure that relief gets to those who need it.
“I say again to this government that they cannot ignore helping the people who have suffered loss on the basis of who these affected people vote for. This will not be tolerated!”
The obvious damage to roads and bridges presents a challenge to an already cash strapped Government. Villagers expressed their disappointment at the failure of government to remove logs from the forest which were felled by the Forestry Division in tree thinning
exercises from time to time. The villagers indicated that the government would not allow them to move the trees, and now, according to the villagers, these were the same trees that damaged bridges and roads as they came down with the rivers. (NDP Press Release)
Mr. Eustace! And so you are calling on the government, that they cannot ignore helping the people that needs help! I agree! So, when are you going to pay Mrs Nicholls her severance! it’s has been almost a year now! why are you depriving her? just asking.
One thing you can be sure of, the hate, malice, spite, nastiness will all be repaid by the Lord.
My father always told me “God pays debts without money” remember that my evil friends, when you bypass people in there hour of need, just because they do not vote for you, God will surely repay that debt.
