Dangriga Town, December 21, 2011
Take a drive or even a stroll into most areas of Dangriga, right now you are very likely to be obstructed by piles of sand dumped on the streets courtesy of the UDP Area Representative and the Mayor. What a crying shame!!! For several months and even years many residents of Dangriga were calling both the offices of Area Representatives and the Mayor for needed support. These two elected officials either deliberately hid from their respective offices or they would, the UDP way, lie to our Dangrigana. However, now that the Xmas season is upon us and more importantly for the UDPs the elections are right around the corner, they are now in such great haste to buy and/or steal the hearts and mind of our residents with their Xmas Treat – SAND. The UDPs obviously have their priorities wrong as usual.
If you were told that the Rivas Estate Extension, a developing community, well within the heart of Dangriga do not have electricity you perhaps will be very surprised and heart broken. But it’s true! Rivas Estate Extension, like most places in Dangriga, has been neglected. The residents of Rivas Estate Extension, for the past three years, are living without the proper infrastructure: no drains, muddy and slippery streets and above all no electricity.
In an effort to try to brighten the spirit of our residents this Xmas, the UDP is dumping loads of sand to a selected few within various depressed communities. Image The Possibilities of your children wanting to light up their Christmas Tree; however, instead of having the basic necessity of electricity, all you see is your house by-passed with loads of Sand. While other municipalities are getting food out of our tax dollars, Dangriga is getting is $40,000 worth of SAND. IT IS ALL VERY CLEAR THAT THE UDP HAVE NO LOVE FOR DANGRIGA. WE ARE TIRED OF EMPTY PROMISES AND THE CONTINUED DISRESPECT.
The PUP Team led by Retired Major Gilbert Swazo, when elected into Office, will demonstrate to the residence, including UDPs, how to serve with love.
