NDP Must Go!- Ishmael E. Brathwaite
Another voice has joined the blasting of the Government and its ways. In a national radio broadcast on Monday, May 23, 2017, on a local radio station, Mr. Ishmael E. Brathwaite who ran for political office many times has spoken out.
Mr. Brathwaite, who ran as an At-Large independent candidate in the 2015 Virgin Islands (VI) general election, alleged that the NDP administration continues to ignore the needs of Virgin Islanders, and should be held responsible for the downfall of the people.
In addition, the businessman claimed that the current government continues to lie to the electorate, having no shame, no sense of patriotism, as well as no commitment to the economic future of Virgin Islanders.
NDP give me no help in purchasing RTW-Brathwaite
The Founder of the People’s Democratic Party said he made an attempt to purchase RoadTown Wholesale (RTW) and his offer was rejected but got no help from the Government once it was brought to their attention. Therefore, he has called for Government to ‘repeal’ the trade licence approved for a Canadian company to operate RoadTown Wholesale.
Brathwaite said the anti-local stance reportedly taken by the management of RTW was brought to the attention of the Premier’s wife, Lorna G. Smith, however, after many promises nothing was done. He also accused the NDP government of being more concerned about foreign bodies and international investors, rather than their own people.
In the same radio broadcast, the businessman who is the husband of Sheila N. Brathwaite, the VI Complaints Commissioner, told radio listeners that even in answering questions in the House of Assembly shows "that this government has lost its direction and consequently has become redundant and irrelevant”.
NDP must resign
He also said another example of the Government’s incompetence is how he was allowed to be treated over the same RTW purchase and claimed to have been given a higher purchase price to discourage him from purchasing the food chain.
The indigenous Virgin Islander called on the government to "immediately tender their resignation to the electorate of this Territory or be involuntarily removed”.
