ANGUILLA--Leader of the Opposition Palmavon Webster made a personal statement at the closing of the House of Assembly on Friday, May 8. She said as the sole member of the opposition she hoped she had been able, through the work of the Public Accounts Committee and her parliamentary questions, to hold the government accountable to the people.

“I trust that my contributions have raised the level of debate in this Honourable House – debates that were focused on policy, over politics and personalities. I have worked diligently and with integrity to fight for effective consultation, inclusion and good governance in the best interest of all Anguillians,” she said.

She said her work had been guided by the “One Anguilla” vision to take Anguilla forward into a new era of prosperity. “This vision is centred on love, unity, respect, good governance and equal opportunity for all. It requires everyone – every single citizen and resident – to participate and work towards achieving a values-driven, economically secured, healthy and educated future for all our people. One Anguilla recognises the importance of everyone, regardless of colour, creed, family, name, background or social status – to thrive, participate and make a valued contribution to nation building,” she said.

Webster thanked her family, colleagues, friends and the residents of her district of Island Harbour who elected her to represent them. She said she was proud to have been their voice and champion and that their words of encouragement had strengthened and sustained her. “God bless you and God bless Anguilla always,” she concluded.
