'Not a peek from the Opposition on NHI' - Winston E. Nibbs
The show, hosted by Natalio D. Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru, was aired on ZBVI 780 AM and had as guests Nibbs and social commentator and talk show host Edmund G. Maduro.
"This might be a little lash but I have to do it. Right now we haven't heard a peek from the Honourable Opposition. So what is going on here?" Nibbs asked.
At this point Wheatley interjected to drive home the point that elected representatives should represent the people and hence the Opposition's silence on the NHI debate was not acceptable.
"What we have to ask ourselves Brother Nibbs is what does it mean to represent people? What does it mean to govern? People have their lives to live every day. You have to drive on the road, you have to send your children to school. You have affairs that you conduct every single day in your own best interest and you elect people who are supposed to secure that interest on a number of different areas. What is more important than your health?" asked Wheatley.
It is worth noting that during the entire debate on the NHI and the petition that has been put forward and which has gathered over 700 signatures, there was no input from the Opposition members Honourable Julian Fraser (R3) and Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1).

Again the Government is subsidizing the NHI with taxpayers' monies, the same taxpayers who have to pay 3.75% monthly into the scheme ( some 7.50 % if self employed) and on top of that have to come up with a co-payment up to 40% in some cases. So what we have is an additional 3.75% tax for most, and 7% for others. Based on precedent I do not entrust the government to properly manage the NHI.
The opposition for the past three terms has been weak because each of them at different time has cooked the pot when they were on the Gov side and made it sour for the people.
But sadly when we get people in there who will stand up and fight for the people we vote them out because these people who we vote for is a reflection of our ignorance blindness and greed that has taken over this country as a whole. But we must all remember pride cometh before the fall.
NHI means New Hospital Income ( NHI) or New Hell Institution and you know when you need to fly out from here is LIAT carry you out. LIAT mean Leave Island Any Time so we all DEAD...Take NHI back to be properly structure.
