Reality Show: Working For Who?

Published on

By: Thinking Citizen

The Team Unity Government has a show, which is aired on Radio, as well as on Television called “Working For You.”
A number of Government sponsored and initiated projects and programmes have been mentioned and discussed on the ‘Working For You” shows. The Government has never seen it fit and proper for the “Stem Cell Research” Project to be discussed on one of the “Working For You” shows although work on the Project was being carried out at the JNF General Hospital in St. Kitts.
Since the Government has chosen not to have the matter of the “Stem Cell Research” Project discussed on any of its “Working For You” shows, the general public is forced to conclude that the Team Unity Government was not “Working For You”, that is for all the people, when the Government gave its approval for the Research Project to be located at the JNF General Hospital in St. Kitts.
Furthermore, if the Research Project had been approved to work for the benefit of populace or the masses, why didn’t the Government take the necessary steps to ensure the survival and continuation of the Project, after it had been shut down by CMO Patrick Martin?
The short answer is that the Research Project was not approved for the benefit of poor ordinary working-class people and that is the reason that the Project was never ever discussed on any “Working For You” show.
When the Team Unity Government engaged the services of Lanny Davis and Associates of Washington D.C in the United States, it was not intended that Lanny Davis would be “Working For You”, the common, ordinary man.
So the services that were being rendered to Team Unity were never discussed on the usual “Working For You” shows and the fact that Lanny Davis was paid for the services rendered to the Team Unity Government was flatly denied by the Government.
When Team Unity declared that the old Basseterre High School on Victoria Road was contaminated and that as a result Team Unity would build a brand new spanking High School to replace the contaminated and unsafe High School, the public believed the lies.
Team Unity went all across St. Kitts and Nevis with their lies. Team Unity gave the populace the false idea that what Team Unity was going to do about the Basseterre High School would bring untold benefits to the students and teachers alike.
The members of Team Unity went about St. Kitts and Nevis selling the idea to the populace that the Basseterre High School to protect the health of children and the teachers and build a new and modern High School.
In other words, team Unity was telling the people that the new Government‘s plans regarding the Basseterre High School would “Work For You”, that is for parents, teachers and students.
In short, the plans of the new Government regarding the Basseterre High School did not “Work For You” as it helped to remove Dr. Douglas and his Labour Party Government from office and install instead a Team Unity Government.
Now that Team Unity is in office, the Government cannot find a safe and suitable spot of land on which to build the new and modern, state-of-the-art High School that was promised.
