Great expectations after the Coalition won in 2015

Feb 26, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
When the Coalition took office there were great expectations among supporters and even non-supporters who recognized a change had come. They longed to meet those Ministers of Government and Presidential Advisors in their communities to share their hopes, dreams and aspirations for the promised Good Life. These new leaders must walk the streets of those villages to see the degradation of the social amenities; playfields are over grown with bushes; unemployed frustrated young people asking the question – where are the Ministers and Advisors to the President. What advice are they offering to HIS Excellency President David Granger? When will they come to the ghetto to meet the people and discuss their problems? They have separated themselves and hold themselves aloof, a recipe for political disaster.
I remember those days when President Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham and his ministers held regular town hall meetings to feel the pulse of the people. I do not feel this is a case of being fearful of being harmed, because when it is election time these same people are up and around in the communities campaigning for votes. Let the campaigning begin now. Let the young people know where they can go to be trained to be employable, especially those who are without academic qualifications and are unskilled. They want to know in their situation how they can acquire house lots. They dream of better days but now, to many today it seems an elusive dream.
Do not leave the people guessing. Let them be aware of the Government’s programs and policies; only then can they begin to play their roles, because we all have roles to play in national development. Do not take us for granted, President David Granger is doing his best. He needs the commitment and dedication of his close aides to ensure the good life.
