The Unity Labour Party (ULP) is making a lot of temporary arrangements for Vincentian but wants to remain in office permanently, says Conroy Huggins, the opposition New Democratic Party’s (NDP) candidate for Central Leeward.
“Everything temporary. Just over there, temporary schools. Girls High School, almost five years on the Tarmac,” he said Monday night at an NDP community meeting in Walvaroo, Sion Hill.
“Thomas Saunders, temporary schools, everything temporary; temporary, temporary. And this is why we need to get rid of them.”
Huggins, an educator who lost his job under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in 2021, said that the Unity Labour Party government has neglected Central Leeward, although it has held the seat for about 30 years, including almost 25 years in government.
“I know from East Kingstown’s standpoint, you got this covered,” he said of the constituency that has remained in the NDP column since it was created in 1984.
“So, I want to make the appeal, especially for those of us in Central Leeward, that we have to bring this home and all the other constituencies because this election year is a year of change,” Huggins said.
“It cannot be more of the same. If we accept this nonsense that they’re talking about six in a row, we, as a people — I mean, I really, I can’t find words to describe if we as a people could make that decision, we cannot, and we should not.”
