Dear Editor,
The majority of people feel that Johnson must complete his full term in office. The performance of the St. Maarten opposition has still not yet improved. Both NA and US Party members love to go after parliamentarians and ministers; so many times we ask ourselves what kind of opposition are they?
It is time NA and US Party be wise and please look out for the needs of the people, such as talk about the recovery of the Island, talk about poverty, talk about increasing the minimum wage, talk about the high house rent on the Island, talk about buses to run Middle Region and the rest of the east side of the Island, talk about the locals being able to have their own businesses, talk about a ballpark and community centre in every district, talk about the need for more roads and public toilets, talk about the needs of the pensioners in St. Maarten.
All over the world you can hear the opposition very constructively seeking to meet the needs of the people. NA and US need to be wiser and more creative. All they can do is go after Theo, parliamentarians and ministers, and not coming forward with the needs of the people.
NA and US, it’s a shame about the minimum wage, high house rent, high cost of living, help buses to run Middle Region this year, traffic problems on the Island, more roads needed, lack of public toilets, the needs of the people and pensioners’ recovery. These are the areas you all as opposition need to talk about and leave the minister alone.
This is our first stable government since after 10-10-10.
Cuthbert Bannis
