NDP Gov't neglected people & social issues – R. Dancia Penn-Sallah
During an episode of “Hard Talk” on Tola Radio VI, on January 22, 2019, she told host Julio S. Henry that amongst the mistakes made in the country, one was to virtually put all our eggs in one basket and that is a mistake.
People do Matter
“My observation is, especially in the last 8 years, so much focus has gone in our country on financial services that we have ignored a lot of social things, because people do matter,” she urged.
Mrs Penn-Sallah further encouraged citizens to ignore the noise and pay attention to what is important, “What I would like to do is to really urge our people to be vigilant, to be discerning, to listen and to think and to not get carried away with the big noise.”
“People matter, the quality of people’s life matter and all of those issues we have to pay attention to [such as] young people,” she sayd, noting that social issues must be high on the agenda.
Always serving
Mrs Penn-Sallah in underscoring the importance of caring for the human resource said, “The things that I do regularly on my own, for individuals and for my community I don’t shout about them but people know and there are done.”
“I have not been in elected public office since 2011, but I have never stopped serving and one of the things we have to understand is that one can serve in many ways and a leader doesn’t have to be on the radio and on the television or on Facebook every day,” she said.
According to the Former Deputy Premier who yesterday, January 24, 2019, announced her Independent At-Large Candidacy to contest the 2019 General Elections, a good leader doesn’t have to make noise, rather, “good leaders know when to stay under the radar.”
