Parliamentary Representative of the Salisbury Constituency, Jesma Paul-Victor has argued that her constituency has not benefited from the government’s housing project.<\/p>\n
Her comments came while speaking at Parliament recently.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernment has allocated millions in capital spendings to the Ministry of Housing \u00a0with the intentions of constructing new homes \u00a0as I stated a while ago and strengthening communities, yet despite the substantial allocations Mr. Speaker, funds approved by this very parliament none of which was spent in my constituency,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n
According to her, 8 years after Hurricane Maria families in the Salisbury Constituency, that is Coulibistrie to be exact, continue to live in deteriorating structures, partially repaired houses and temporary arrangements which were meant to be short-term.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile other communities have received modern apartment complexes, climate resilient units and housing settlement which Mr. Speaker as I said that I support the housing project and I congratulate the recipients of this houses, everyone deserves to be happy, everyone deserves to be comfortable, my constituents continue to wait,\u201d Paul-Victor remarked.<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cThe question I would like to ask is, how long can my people endure to wait and how long can they endure to live in such conditions? It\u2019s been 8 long years, Mr. Speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on to add, \u201cMy people feel forgotten, they feel unseen and they feel as though they are suffering since Maria has been normalized and dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parliamentary Representative of the Salisbury Constituency, Jesma Paul-Victor has argued that her constituency has not benefited from the government’s housing project.
