    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Team Unity candidate for Central Basseterre, Jonel Powell, has declared that once elected he would provide running water to the homes of those families in his Constituency who are without that facility.

     

    In an exclusive interview with SKNVibes, Powell indicated that he would donate his first month's salary to the cause.

    “What I am proposing is a programme by which every family’s home in Central Basseterre has access to running water and bathroom facility.

    “To kickoff that initiative, I am prepared to donate my first month’s salary as a Minister of a Government of National Unity towards the construction of a bathroom facility and running water to the most needy family home in the Prickly Pear Alley area, where she (Hon. Marcella Liburd) renovated a public bath for use.”

    Powell however informed that the decision would not be his to say who should get the facility and he would allow the relevant authorities to do so. 

    “I will have no decision in terms of who that person is. I will ask Social Welfare to make that determination and that will be the kick start to this initiative where I want to see every home in Central Basseterre, and ultimately this country, has access to running water.”

    He was also asked what his thoughts were on the refurbishing of a public bathroom in the area by the current representative, the Hon. Marcella Liburd.

    “I think it is demeaning in this day and age to subject persons to having to use a public bathroom. I think the people of the Constituency deserve better than a public bath in 2015 and rather than trying to provide a handout.”
