THE?DEMOCRATIC?Labour Party’s (DLP) record of social revolution of the Barbadian society can stand up to scrutiny.
So says the party’s general secretary Donville Inniss as the 59-year-old organisation commemorates another year of existence.
Speaking yesterday at a Press conference held at the DLP, George Street headquarters to bring the public up to date with planned activities, Inniss said the party has a very good history as a political organisation.
He said the policies that emanated from the party helped to move Barbados from being a village to being a nation state.
Now, Inniss said the focus of the party was to put Barbados on a path of sustainable growth.
“So that in the not too distant future we can be talking about low unemployment levels again, about greater satisfaction among the people of the country, about new businesses opening and expanding, and not having any challenges with the foreign exchange position about making a mark on the international arena,” Inniss said.
There will be a panel discussion on Wednesday April 30 at the St Leonard’s Boys’ Secondary School Auditorium and a thanksgiving gospel concert will be held on Sunday April 27 to celebrate the milestone. (LK)
