Hon Fahie knocks NDP culture of 'cha-ching'
Further he said that the other side, the National Democratic Party (NDP), is trying to paint the Chairman of the VIP black with their criticisms and character assassinations. He was speaking on May 20, 2015 in Baughers Bay during the VIP meeting featuring Sixth District candidate Elvis 'Juggy' Harrigan.
“They hope that this snap elections will go by so fast…paint our leader black. Come after Fahie. Say our At Large weak, and just continue to run their mouth and run their mouth,” he said.
He said if you don’t know who you are and whose you are, this Government will make you feel like you’re nobody. “Once you’re not supporting them you will have to be careful that they don’t label you black in this country,” he said.
But he said the VIP has come to clean up the political climate and is going green.
“Because on June 8 is your day when you will vote the entire VIP slate. June 8 is not a long wait so you my people keep the faith. Crunch the numbers and you will see that the VIP is your team that will allow you to be free,” he rhymed.
Cha-ching!
In his usually engaging style of delivery, Honourable Fahie said that cha-ching, cha-ching were the words the NDP once used to calculate money to win the last election.
“But now it is clear that the use of their cash register and calculator is rare. Why a snap election is being asked by young and old. Not even an explanation we are being told. But my research has unfolded that cha-ching, cha-ching must be told,” he said.
He pondered the snap election was to hide the fact that vendors to the Government are yet to be paid $19 million in unpaid invoices.
“Was the snap election because they wanted to avoid explaining to you the people why they have $61 million in the cruise pier with only $41 million to pay for it leaving only $20 million in monies that they don’t have to pay for the extension? Cha-ching!” he said.
He went on to cite lots more examples as to why the Government might have opted for the snap election with a view to not having to explain to the people why certain decisions were taken.
Honourable Fahie said that more and more people cannot pay their bills and are tossing by night about how they are going to look after their families. He said that people can’t even go to St Thomas to shop because of the increases in the fees on both sides.
