“Not until we get our community centre ‘fire’
for the People’s National Movement (PNM),” shouted Sherma
Wilson, chairman of Beetham Estate Community Secretariat and resident
of Beetham, last Thursday.
She pleaded that for over 30 years they begged for a community centre
and were only getting promises from the government.
Wilson explained that the only way the government understands the
call of poor people in the community is by a fiery protest.
“Eulalie James, our representative for over 10 years, has
been promising us and yesterday she met with other residents in
private with PNM officials to deal with our problems when she should
have spoken to us,” she added.
Wilson continued: “On March 23, 2006, a contract was awarded
to LJ Construction Limited and was given an assurance that by our
Member of Parliament, MP James, National Insurance Property Development
Company Limited (NIPDEC) that the centre would be on schedule.”
“I am thankful for the paved roads, apartments and all the
other necessities given to the community,” she explained.

looking pompous and
arrogant, as usual,

HINDS was booed
and jeered. |
