BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (SKNLPCU) – Persons who opposed the St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party when it was in office will never find comfort in ordinary people enjoying the same quality of life.
Opposition senator Hon Nigel Carty said those opposed to the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF) could not tolerate that the resources of the fund provided the tools for empowerment which ensured and guaranteed a better quality of life.
“The ordinary people were benefitting from the People Employment Programme (PEP), the REACH programme, the one-to-one Lap Top Programme and the HELP Housing programme. They did not care about those people who were the beneficiaries of the programmes. They don’t like ordinary people, they tolerate you. They say hi and good morning, but they do not believe in your empowerment and that just as they have millions and are able to give their children the best education, they do not believe that you deserve it as well,” said Carty, adding:
“If they are getting rich means that the SIDF must close and you must not benefit from the PEP, the REACH and you must not get any laptop and when you write to the National Housing Corporation requesting them to provide you with an affordable home, they tell you to go to a bank, if that is what it requires for them to move from $10 million to $20 million and $30 million that is what will happen because you don’t factor in their scheme of things when we look at the country as everybody is equal.”
