 Thank you Mr. Speaker. Just for the purposes of the record Mr. Speaker. I just want to clarify a few things. You are now salmon. For the purposes of the record Mr. Speaker. I need to clarify a few things. Mr. Speaker because you know the leader of the opposition says a lot of things. And his surrogates repeats these things particularly on social media. And some people believe it Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. The leader of the opposition. When the United Workers Party lost government. There was no delta variant in covid. The deaths began after the delta variant. Before July 2021 there was no delta variant. The deaths in the world increased after the delta variant was found. Point number one Mr. Speaker. Point number two Mr. Speaker. This government had absolutely no results when covid hit us. This minister of finance. He run the country with deficits on the primary account. This is the economy he managed. Any student of economics will tell you. You cannot run a country with a deficit on the primary account. That means he did not have enough money to pay his salaries and his low interest. That's the economy he managed. That was before covid. Talk about managing the economy Mr. Speaker. That was before covid. So when covid hit. The country had absolutely no resources. So he had to go to the NIC. To amend the laws of the NIC. To borrow money for income support. That's the economy he managed. Every other island gave some form of income support. Without going to the NIC. Where he had no money. He had squandered the resources of the country. So we had to go to the NIC. And this government has pledged at some point. To repair the workers of this country. The money that he took from them. So when he gets the postling about evidence. And grand charging. And trying to pay to the gallery. Because he thinks he is superior Mr. Speaker. We cannot allow him to continue. Secondly, Mr. Speaker. He comes and he again misleads the house. The march we had. The march that the party had. We got permission from the ministry of health. There was written permission. The chief medical officer gave us permission to march. And there is absolutely no evidence that says. After the march there was an increase in the spread of COVID. No evidence that related to the march with Mr. Speaker. But as usual that's what he does. He comes and he postures. And believes he can fool people that no one sends Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. We talk about COVID. After COVID. St. Lucia had the greatest level of GDP contraction. The sixth in the world. That's the economy he managed. The sixth. And I want to. This is on the record. St. Lucia had the sixth highest decline in the economy. That's the economy he managed. You know why? Because he made no provision in the better days. He used the money to do all kind of election projects. He gave out a thousand acres of land at one dollar per acre. That's what he did. So that contraction caused by COVID. And by his mismanagement. These are facts Mr. Speaker. He mismanaged the economy to point. That when we got into government. After he borrowed 302 million dollars for COVID. This government, we only had 15 million dollars. Of borrowed funds to use to run this country. That these are the facts Mr. Speaker. These are the facts Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. This leader of the opposition. He kept the millennium, the new hospital closed. After when he came into government. He found a transition committee led by Dr. Stephen King. With all the plans in place to open the hospital. He kept it closed. We had help from the French government. There was equipment from the French. From the Europeans with this figure to open this hospital. He kept it closed. You know what he did? He put the country through a debt. Which we have to come back to this honorable house next week. A debt of 15 million dollars. To pay people to open the hospital. And you know what happened? Local people led by Dr. King. Open that hospital. Dr. King and Mrs. Chargers. That's what he did. Mr. Speaker. That's what he did. Mr. Speaker. So when he comes talking about evidence and grand charges. And believe he's some superior being. That has come and talked down to Mr. Speaker. Never happened. The facts are against him. Because he is a failed prime minister. So Mr. Speaker. You know. You come into this honorable house. And you come believing that many will understand that the country is greater than the politics. You come and you believe that many will understand that the democratic process has worked. And the people have chosen their governments. That's what you think. But Mr. Speaker. The arrogance. And the conceits. And the superiority complex remains. So he can't understand that the people have rejected him. He can't understand. But he have to understand it again. Because the people will reject him again. So Mr. Speaker. I want to ask members to support this motion Mr. Speaker. Because this motion is about the health of the country. And Mr. Speaker. Look at how this government operates. All the constituency of Miku. Is where one of the best health and wellness centers exists in the country. And what we've done. Since we've got the government. We haven't diminished it. Mr. Speaker. You know there is evidence. There is evidence Mr. Speaker. Is that this government. When it came into power. Into government. They found a project in the world bank. To retain structures in Enchibo. The project had been approved by the world bank Mr. Speaker. You know because I was parliamentary representative. For Kastris East. And in their haste. And in their belief. That they can get me to lose the seat. You know they wrote the world bank. And the evidence available. And they transferred the money that was available. For the retaining structures. And if you go now Mr. Speaker. You see the area is the precarious position. Because of the rivers. You know Mr. Speaker. They wrote the world bank. To ask them. To change the project. And take it away from Kastris East. And put it in Kastris office. That's what these guys did. That's the government here on. They have center. They have center. In Larry's house. Mr. Speaker he cannot deny these things. That's why he has to grand charge. That's why he has to grand charge Mr. Speaker. But he will never be able to come and shock anybody down. That's why he has to come and grand charge. Mr. Speaker. So the medical wellness center in. Miku. We've kept it going. We haven't closed it. We've kept it going Mr. Speaker. This government is on record. As doing more for opposition constituencies. And some of my colleagues quarreled with me about that Mr. Speaker. We haven't stopped anything happening in opposition constituencies. We've owned health centers being built in Shorzell. Shorzell probably have more health centers per capita than anywhere in the world. We continued. We never stopped anything. We continued Mr. Speaker. We continued. He built a road. Fifteen million dollars. And he come to Mr. Speaker. The problem with this leader, with this leader of the opposition. Is he believes that he can lie. And he can lie and people must believe he lied. Because he said it. He spent fifteen million dollars. Direct award. He built a road in view fort south. Fifteen million dollars. Mr. Speaker you know an independent study. That will not be said. That road was built for the assets. That's what the study says. Not me say it. Any position we've taken Mr. Speaker. Is based on evidence from other people. Not us. I love you Mr. Speaker. But you know. The problem Mr. Speaker. Is that lies. And mis-truths. And misinformation. Is what he. Is the party. That he lives. That's what he's all about Mr. Speaker. But Mr. Speaker. The time. The time is there. And the same way. The people of Senutia. Rejected these lies. On the 26th of July. The person said. We reject these lies again. Come and talk about crime. Mr. Speaker. This. Is. The vote. For. For the police. For zero. You know how he gave the police equipment. By having dinners. Dressing people in yellow. And had them go to dinner. And said they have modeling. Fellas. That never modeling their life. And people modeling. And that's how the money they use. To give police equipment. Mr. Speaker. Talking I say at zero. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. Talking isn't. That's what he did for trading for the police. What have we done? We've spoken to our partners. We've spoken to the French. We spoke to the Taiwanese. We spoke to the Americans. We have a security pact with the French. Mr. Speaker. To help us in our fight against crime. When he was in government. On one weekend there were three mothers. We never blamed him. So they come and they pretend. As if this crime thing is something that he must blame the Labour Party for. I must blame the government for Mr. Speaker. We have never. We've come in this honourable house and we said. Let's get this just like COVID. When we just COVID we came in and said. In fact they used to laugh at me for wearing my mask. They started to laugh at me. When wearing my mask. So Mr. Speaker. When you see comes any grand charges. Crime. We. What this leader of the opposition. When there was a symposium for crime. That the municipal for national security whatever he was. Held at infrastructure. He went to Jamaica to campaign. He never attended it. I talk about caring about crime. Talking about caring about crime. I was there. I was leader of the opposition. I went. I was there. So Mr. Speaker. When you try to politicize crime. You must ask him. What are the tangible things that he did. To combat the crime situation in this country. We have said that the crime situation is too high. We've made the point. We don't work with the French on the forensic lab. We are right now. We are working with the Jamaicans on training the police. Very soon. The police have already got nearly 20 vehicles including bicycles. Just last week. Last week I signed an award to give the police 10 new bicycles. We are going to train them with Jamaicans in using motorcycles to help in the fight against crime. And in the budget you go to initiatives for the police Mr. Speaker. Because we believe that the only way we can combat crime is if we have a well functioning. A well trained and a motivated police force Mr. Speaker. What does he want me to see? He wants me to interfere in the operation of the police force. And we said that our job is to give resources to the police. Our job is not to interfere in who is a cop or sergeant. Not like what he did. Mr. Speaker. We took the revolution step. And we had confidence in the career of a police officer or woman. And we made a commission on the police. Because we had confidence in the women of this country. And we had confidence that within the police hike a man. There were men and women who were capable of doing the job. If they were allowed to do the job properly Mr. Speaker. So that's the difference between us and them. That's the difference. The difference between us and them is we do not call police officers and tell them how to do their job. That's the difference between us and them Mr. Speaker. So when he comes and talks about crime. No one here. No one in this horrible house. And I hope he too doesn't like the crime situation in the country. But again people are still studying whether the COVID virus, the impact of COVID because you heard about mass murders all over the world. Crime in England has increased in a way never heard before. Not me. We are not the ones who did it. Listen to the news in the United States. Every other day there is a mass killing. Every other day. So there seems to be something happening with the world as far as crime is concerned. Children come and blame us for crime. And try to mix independence and crime with the leader. Independence is the time where the whole country should be united. The whole country but here is this news. The worst independence ever. That's his independence message. The worst independence. That's his independence message. Mr. Speaker, you know why? Because he has not understood that the people of Selussia have rejected him. And have rejected his policies and refuses to understand that. And unless he understand that Mr. Speaker. He remain desperate, frustrated, annoying, angry. And he continues to misinform the people of Selussia. And he continues to misinform the people of Selussia.
