THREE-TIME DEMOCRATIC Labour Party candidate for St Joseph Randall Rouse has announced he will be contesting the next General Election as an independent candidate.
Rouse made this disclosure earlier this morning during a press conference at his Airy Hill, St Joseph constituency office.
“The decision I make today comes out of total frustration with this government as it relates to its lack of communication with the public on public matters, lack of leadership, lack of clear explanations for some of the policy decisions taken, the apparent anti-worker stances taken and more especially, this government’s total refusal to accept positive economic advice even from its own economic advisors in the economy,” Rouse said.
The now independent candidate said he had several concerns with the representation in St Joseph, but chief of these were the lack of adequate transport, the poor conditions of the bridge at Melvin’s Hill and the inadequate healthcare facilities across the parish. (AD)
