U.D.P. Chairman Says P.U.P. Inherited a Healthy Economy

Michael Peyrefitte

Wage cut, or not, is just one of the tough decisions the Briceño administration must make in addressing the economy’s dreadful status.  Briceño and his party have continuously blamed the past U.D.P. government for the state of the economy. Well, today, Senator and U.D.P. Chairman Michael Peyrefitte told the media that the P.U.P. inherited a healthy economy.

Michael Peyrefitte, Chairman, U.D.P.

“History has shown that United Democratic Party has never left a broke government for the P.U.P.  History has shown that the P.U.P. has always left a broke government for the U.D.P.  Add to that the fact that before they were elected they claimed that it was such an easy job to do. They claimed that all you have to do is snap this and snap that and crime would go down and business will be booming and people would be living in this great euphoric state. That is what they said. They promised the world. They claimed that they could fix it in one week. They claimed that they could fix it right away. All it shows is that they have no plan. It is almost that they didn’t expect to be elected and now that they are elected they are frightened. They can try to blame the U.D.P. all they want because they are still finding millions to buy vehicles. They are still finding millions to do roads. They are still coming with appropriations bills to the House and Senate for millions that they need and millions that they would get. What do you mean that the government is broke? That is absolutely nonsense. I have to take the words of Said Musa, and don’t let them tell you that the government is broke. The government is not broke. The taxes are performing aren’t day. So they inherited a healthy economy and indeed the past prime minister told him that whoever took over would be facing a stuff situation and decisions would have to be made. It seems as if though they are not ready for those decisions.”
