Jobs, the economy priority number one

Having retained the St. Michael South East seat, the first order of business will be obtaining jobs for constituents in need, within a wider focus of rebuilding the economy.

Victorious Barbados Labour Party candidate, Santia Bradshaw, revealed the above as she spoke with members of the media on location at the Parkinson Memorial Secondary School in the wee hours of Friday morning, after she was declared the duly chosen representative for the constituency, to serve in the House of Assembly.

When queried as to her first order of business, she remarked, “To get people some jobs, to start to get the economy moving again.”

She meanwhile expressed her confidence that investors will come to the fore and there will eventually be an upward movement, in terms of the economy.

“This victory has demonstrated that people have confidence in a Barbados Labour Party government. Not just the people that are at the bottom, but the people in terms of investors’ confidence and I anticipate that we are going to see an uplift in the Barbados economy, over the course of the next few months,” she stated.

“We have a lot of work to do, but I do believe that we are going to be able to start to make jobs a priority, so people can start to feed themselves, feed their families and become independent once again in this country and in this community,” Bradshaw remarked. (RSM)
