 Thank you very much Mr Deputy Speaker. Mr Deputy Speaker, sometimes I wonder why things happen. And when I hear, all in sudden, the opposition and the rampage calling me ridiculous. was the Jane my name stands for calling us liars calling us deceit the everyone has just come out of the come out of the woodwork all in the southern speaker town hall meetings talk shows mr. speaker I wonder why because I know two years have come and the day of reckoning is at least for the most three years away but mr. speaker I wondered why mr. speaker why or in a sudden there's that concerted attack all kind of slogans and lucha in trouble all kind and no basis every day there's a lie every day there's a story on united pack about something that never happened just say it once and we feel to say it again every day mr. speaker and I wonder why mr. speaker why so mr. speaker as always said I take my time before I see anything and I've been frightened show what you have you only talking one of them came away and said I can speak neither English nor Pato all kind of things to speak I'm missing them but I want to start whether the former prime minister ended mr. speaker and he speaks about that situation mr. speaker and I didn't know he knew I'm surprised that he knows mr. speaker because I was keeping that for later but he he all flanked me and he said before me but I'll go further there is more to that mr. speaker do you know that for that transaction in 2020 2.5 2 million 560 thousand 190 million dollars of sparing commission yes yes so you know why there's all the noise you see why all the noise mr. speaker you see why all the attacks on me you see why all the attempt to destabilize when you change how they try to destabilize the police force you see why mr. speaker these are the things that they do not want people to know I'll say it again and I'll give it a date when the spirit you know if in the fifth million five hundred sixty thousand one hundred ninety million dollars was fees paid in an account in Panama in a mind of business so mr. speaker so you understand why you understand why there are so many threats and I'm trying to blindfold mr. speaker never in the history of Zellusha of a long time in solution history three hotels have been built at one time three never before mr. speaker in the recent history the last five years of this country's history mr. speaker there has been so much construction in the last five years construction never before have so many people want to go into business mr. speaker in the last five years the youth economy the micron the small the SME acts the loan funds mr. speaker people are the people are looking to go into enterprise but the opposition says Zellusha is in trouble and they want to even compare St Lucia mr. speaker but the member for you for south is right the kind of things we say about our own country the kinds of things we say about our own country the way we want to denigrate our country mr. speaker for politics they compare Zellusha to Haiti kinds of things mr. speaker because they do not want to answer what the leader the member for view for south said you don't want to answer it why alone funds which will be repaid and he said 10 it's not 10 it's 20 20 million 54 million u.s. easy dollars why alone funds negotiated with the Exim Bank in Taiwan paid to the account of a private company in the bank of Panshin and mr. speaker look at look look look look at the difference mr. speaker loan between loan between loan agreement ban between St Lucia and the export import bank republic of China loan number dated October 27 2014 that is when the member for yourself was prime minister and it says in accordance with section 202 of the captioned loan agreement we thereby request advance in the amount to be made to our new york accounts name of account eastern Caribbean central bank for further credit to the borrowers bank account as follows name of account holder government of St Lucia operating accounts eastern Caribbean central bank bastards and kids let me explain to mr. speaker to listeners what it means because tomorrow you'll have a spin I didn't say that tomorrow you had the diversions tomorrow you have a kind of things tomorrow you have about about a member parliament's visa just to shift it take it away tomorrow you have kind of things about I pronounce something wrong or this and that tomorrow you have kind of things all kind of things deflections deflections take it away but I never said that colonialism colonialism has a conscience and let's go to the loan agreement mr. speaker dated January 20 2020 between the government St Lucia and the same export import bank and let me really for you mr. speaker us 20 million loan agreement dated January 20 of 2020 between St Lucia acting for the Ministry of Finance economic economic job creation economic growth job creation external affairs and the public service as the borrower and the export import bank now I want to read this for you to get it mr. speaker these agreements have some similar situations just like the one which I read this morning listen to the one in 2020 when the member for view for south was the minister of finance in accordance with section 202 of the caption loan agreement we hereby request that an advance in the amount of u.s. be made to the account of overseas engineering and construction company limited s.a. as designated name of account name of account holder overseas engineering and construction company limited beneficiary bank bank of pension such advance shall be made by you within 15 days from the day of receipt of the request one advance and all certificates opinions and all documents to be given on the loan agreement each informant substance satisfactory to you satisfactory to you the company mr. speaker but in the 2014 agreements it goes to the eastern kaib and central bank where it will be clear and then sent to the government and the question mr. speaker the question the question is how was that 20 million dollars spent that's the question the question is mr. speaker how was that 20 million u.s. dollars spent according to the loan agreement you know what you'll hear tomorrow all that's nothing the money was used to pay for the hospital i just want to hear that i just want to hear that because mr. speaker say no more so mr. speaker so you understand why there's all that noise you understand why there's so many personal attacks you understand why there's so much so many talk shows so many town hall meetings so much accus so much accusations you know so why you understand why all them have come up mr. speaker because pool kitchen that is what that is called flashing mirrors mr. speaker dirty it dirty the atmosphere throw it there but you do not account mr. speaker for the things that make that cause our contributions to the mr. speaker is because going further going further mr. speaker again how the opposition and the surrogates deceive mr. speaker all over you hold him say several times and all building and all building and all building that's what he said several times mr. speaker who means because do you know and there's some people in the united states and in england who follow that mr. speaker who repeat that do you know mr. speaker in these countries now all buildings are being refurbished and put together mr. speaker all buildings mr. speaker they've been cleared and put together you understand all buildings and you tell and when we speak about the prison mr. speaker some people who know better tell you that it was good to imagine this prison because it is the place of atrocities mr. speaker because do you know in mexico the president of mexico his house is the old prison i went there but you know they come here and they know better but they deliberate mr. speaker because they don't like philip jpea because the philip jpea should not be prime minister or because they're like kenny anthony they say all these things to fool people in mexico a prison but you know by insolution they tell you it's a old prison atrocities is what happened there so break it up mr. speaker our tourism our tourism doesn't only depend on sea sand and sun there is tourism mr. speaker why you want to know the history the actuality the the history of the country the patrimony of the country mr. speaker and that is why we support the moves that have been taken to have a museum in senuja a proper museum because mr. speaker there is water of people but you know we deliberately mr. speaker mislead our people lie to them and telling about making 21 islands and state of the art hospital and state of the art airport mr. speaker do you know do you know mr. speaker that there are no plans for the box and do you know the work that is happening at the senjura hospital now mr. speaker planning approval has been received for about five of the buildings at senjura hospital planning approval planning approval because we refuse to work on it without planning approval and if you go there today you should apply the approval stamp and sign tell them to show you the planning approval for the box but they command all kind of things state of the art mr. speaker because mr. speaker do you know that the box the box was supposed to have 90 rooms and you already tell you is for the first floor why is it working on the on the yellow floor and that's the thing that's the thing this one is what these guys say and people believe them and i'm saying to the supporters in italka subati when men tell you things check it out the man check it out how can you have our student on one floor and working on top floor in six months a hospital that when rain fell flooded the place would you ready in six months that's 90 percent complete there is no document the document from the ministry of finance said that the hospital was 30 percent complete and that's made a hundred eighteen million dollars and they are bills and they are still bills because you miss me and they are still bills to be paid bills to be paid on that box six point two one million dollars on consultancies and other contractors still apart from the 70 million dollar direct award that the ministers spoke about i'm not going to mention the consultant's name that's not my that's not my style but do you have a hospital that was how much percent 90 percent complete yes yeah mr speaker the member for before itself began to read from a document that he called the senjula history construction project because do you know that we sat we sat there one two three four five six of us and i stood in the honorable house and i said there was a senjude hospital reconstruction reports you know they said remember who denied it he denied it they said that they don't exist but we knew that they got it and when the document was leaked that document wasn't put out by the government you know that doesn't represent what the government the document he's very convenient now for him to read from he says leak on social media and they never said it existed but today the leader of the opposition come and read from it read and only reads what he wants and when i stop him he say because we like Steven the king so much he didn't call Steven the king name but that's what he says mr speaker he says that 98 million dollars is spent on on the box under the building mr speaker what he calls the old buildings they migrate in senjude history old buildings he calls it all that's what he says old buildings mr speaker mr speaker there is nowhere there is nowhere in that document there is nowhere in that document mr speaker that says that they will build a 40 million dollars there was there is nowhere in that document that says that but he comes here he says that the building cost 130 million dollars that they will build a 40 million there's nowhere in that document nowhere in that document but that is what he gets away with these other things he gets and and to get to the for to divert you from the real issues they say all kind of things mr speaker nowhere when i see mr speaker nowhere but mr speaker he talked about home porting again mr speaker again again mr speaker there is no evidence that says that send that view for could ever be a home port you know why because mr speaker fact is that you need a cluster of rooms to make a home porting so what view for is supposed to be view for could have been a hub but in terms of home porting that's something that is in the distance mr speaker again bluff again fooling people fooling people again mr speaker because for some reason and i'm glad the member for view for itself said so for some reason they had their eyes on view for the eyes on the south but the people know differently mr speaker so mr speaker on a final note about st jude mr speaker you know people talk about the emotions of st jude you know before my deceased mother passed away mr speaker we flew on a plane from vg to hewanora from melo to go to st jude and in those times the airport regulations were not as tough mr speaker so they put her on a stretcher and they removed the seats and they put her on the seats in a stretcher and i was i sat on the plane with a pilot and we flew out to st jude mr speaker and she got treated in st jude and we drove back when she was better so i understand the emotion of st jude mr speaker hello mr speaker i'm very pleased that in spite of all the efforts to denigrate st jude call it old buildings to say all kinds things about the mr speaker we are going to be completing st jude hospital for the people of st jude and again this waste that took place in st jude mr speaker there's a reason there's a reason why and we'll find the reason there's a reason why these buildings were not completed and that box was built was attended we built there's a reason why mr speaker but all i say to the people of st jude is that reason will be known mr speaker it'll be known because there's a reason why and there's also a reason why you have all that sudden rush of attacks and rush of of of of lies and rush of postal attacks and rush of calling people names all in a sudden mr speaker there's a reason why the reason is that the people of st jude when the truth comes out because they know very well what they did they will take time to reveal the truth they know very well what they did will take time for the truth to be revealed like the member for v4 itself started today it will take time they know very well it'll take time doesn't happen in a year or two it takes time it takes time these things take time so they believe that something is coming soon come they believe something soon come so before it soon come before it soon come they begin to cloud it so you you know what they'll say that's politics politics as soon as it comes they'll say it's politics politics you understand and that's the reason why that's the reason mr speaker that's the reason because you want to hide you only make a lot of noise now so when what has to happen will happen when what has to be told will be told when the stories that have to come out will come out the people of the country will be so confused this is just politics mr speaker and that's the reason why that's the reason why so mr speaker the truth will always be veiled and again i want to thank the people of v4 for their patience i want to thank the two prime ministers in this building for the understanding and the persistence in getting the hospital built with the speaker and the people who work there and the patients i want to give you the solemn promise that you will get your hospital at the soonest possible opportunity i thank you mr speaker
