Prime Minister Gaston Browne has told constituents in Rural West that he is guaranteeing employment for every person in the constituency who wants to work.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He was making the case last night for the election of Londell Benjamin to replace Baldwin Spencer as the member of parliament for the area.<\/p>\n

“Comrade Benjamin has been instrumental in getting a number of people in this community employment,” the ABLP leader told a political meeting in Five Islands.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“This constituency had one of the highest levels of unemployment within the country for decades.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“And I know that it is still relatively high, but I guarantee you that in this new term that we will eliminate unemployment in this constituency,” he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“So it is back to work with labour. Every single adult who is able to work in this community will get a job in the next term,” the ABLP leader added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He said job creation will come by way of a number of hotels which are being built in the community.<\/p>\n
