ST. GEORGES, Grenada, June 15th 2011 - Members of Her Majesty’s Opposition are calling on the Tillman Thomas Administration to be more considerate to those who are trying to make an honest living in these tough economic times.
 
The Opposition New National Party Representatives in Parliament have all expressed concerned about the inconsiderate way in which sidewalk vendors in Grenville were recently moved.  According to Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Mitchell, “In these tough economic times, Government should be doing everything to ease the burden on the most vulnerable members of the society.”

He added, “If someone is trying to make an honest dollar then, every effort must be made to provide an alternative location.  Government must understand we are in a financial crisis and the more people can help themselves is the more they should be encouraged to do so.”
 
Members of the Opposition have consistently maintained that while the current economic situation can in some ways be attributed to the international crisis, it is largely due to the actions of the National Democratic Congress Government.  The Opposition believes that if the Government had adopted a less hostile approach to investors and perceived supporters of the NNP, and if they were prepared to continue the many development projects started by the NNP administration, the economic situation would be far better than it is now.
 
As a result the Opposition is once again calling on the Government to re-examine its policies and actions since assuming office and to make the necessary changes to ease the frustration of the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
