U.D.P. Must ‘Fix’ the Problem

John Briceño

There’s a possibility that the People’s United Party may return to power in 2020, and with the UHS debt being kicked around like the political football it has since become, it can land squarely at the feet of the P.U.P.   So what would the prospective prime minister do to address the issue of the unpaid debt?

 

John Briceño, P.U.P. Leader

“Many people knew back then and they know now that I had a problem with the whole issue that led to this problem, but at the end of the day, the prime minister managed to find a settlement.  Whether you like it or dislike it or you feel no way about it, a settlement was found that did not cost directly the taxpayers of this country.  And because Dean Barrow so bad minded and say he wanted to put people in jail and he is so bad minded that this has been pissing contest between Mr. Ashcroft and Mr. Barrow and unfortunately, that piss is falling on us because we are bearing the cost of that.  So Mr. Barrow is being a coward when he is saying, “Oh we’re going to be a conscience vote.”  He as a lawyer knows what he’s supposed to do.”

“Now there are those in the U.D.P. who are simply saying, and this is not what they are publicly saying, privately, it is saying man, we noh wahn pay it.  If P.U.P. wahn pay it, mek dehn pay it.  Would the P.U.P., if they had the majority in parliament, support paying it?”

 

John Briceño

“Let’s put it this way, we would have never been in that position because we had solve it already.  He was the one that has created this problem, and has created this crisis and as the saying goes, you broke it, you own it, you fix it.”

 

Reporter

“They want you to…”

 

John Briceño

“Well then, that is their problem government has caused.”

    I would like to hear how you were going to fix it. For you to win an election Mr. Brinceno. I will tell you how. You have to meaning must, should, ought to, expel Said Musa, Julius Espat, and Kareem Musa from the the PUP. Otherwise, you will forever stay as a wanna B prime minister. For now, I support Dean Barrow 150%.
