PRIME MINISTER FREUNDEL STUART says constituency councils show how sometimes much can be done with very little resources.

Speaking at the St Michael South Constituency Council Community Awards Ceremony at Almond Bay, Hastings, Christ Church on Saturday night, Stuart praised the efforts of the councils across the island providing “visible benefits” such as community building, poverty reduction, and the creation of opportunities for advancement, particularly the most vulnerable in several districts.

Describing the St Michael South Constituency Council, which falls in his constituency, as “most outstanding”, the Prime Minister acknowledged that while there were some challenges with the constituency empowerment programmes related to the availability of manpower and financial resources, he said many councils had still demonstrated they could achieve much with little.   (LK)
