St. George’s, Grenada December 8th, 2011: The New National Party Caretaker for the Town of St. George, Mr. Nickolas Steele calls is on the Government to make payment to the members of his constituency who have worked in the debushing program and after eight weeks (8) are yet to be paid.

 

Mr. Steele made the call after a number of workers in the program from the town of St George came to him asking for his assistance.  Knowing the value of the program to the many vulnerable families in the constituency which is known by the parliamentary representative, it is inconceivable that such inhumane treatment could be meted out to those families.

 

The NNP caretaker for the Town of St George calls on the Trade Union Movement to intervene on behalf of the families who have been affected.  “We all are affected by the economic crisis the country is faced with at this time, more so those workers whose only income is from the program.  Therefore, every effort should be made to ensure that they receive their payment before the Christmas season” Mr. Steele added.

 

“A government that promotes its self as one with a heart for its people is expected to do much better Mr. Steele commented.” Where is the  parliamentary representative Hon. Peter David, isn’t the welfare of the constituents of the Town of St George of great concern to him?

 

In closing the NNP Caretaker states that on this issue the the Honorable Peter David cannot sit on both sides of the fence. He must either stand up and represent his constituents who are being advantaged by the government or he stand up with a government that is taking advantage of its most vulnerable. Will the real Peter David Please Stand Up
