‘Best they loose the sheep & goats in Farmers' Market'- Hon Penn
Speaking on NDP Radio on ZBVI 780 AM on October 4, 2021, Hon Penn said they can expect to see contracts being rolled out before elections and that “the people have to be more politically astute and not allow themselves to be ‘mamaguiled’.”
‘Things will change’- Hon Penn
Hon Penn also alleged that the government has been squandering “millions of dollars on all kinds of things that are insignificant” but said this will change in the elections season.
“The time will come when you will see work going left, right and centre. Persons going to get contracts left, right and centre.”
The Opposition Leader, who has been criticised for being fully loaded with criticisms but glaringly short on solutions, said the relaunch of the East End Sewerage Project was just for a photo op.
“They finished up a small lil project that was already started before Irma down Paraquita Bay,” said Hon Penn, who was part of the National Democratic Party (NDP) government that illegally transferred $8M of monies earmarked for the East End Sewerage Project towards the Tortola Pier Park Project in 2015, leaving his own constituents to walk streets of filth.
‘The market is a disgrace’
Slinging more criticisms, Hon Penn said the groundbreaking ceremony for the Road Town Market Square in October 2020 was also a political ploy.
“You see a bunch of wild tamarind in the farmers' market in Road Town and a set of placards around the territory for projects they have started, years ago for many of them, and all you seeing are billboards around the territory. They have become a billboard government to try to fool you.
“The market is a disgrace. I got a picture from someone who showed me what the market place look like right now. The amount of wild tamarind inside there now, best they loose the sheep and goats in there to feed on them. I mean it is ridiculous,” Hon Penn said.
He noted that he will continue to hold the Executive accountable to the people of the territory.
