Prime Minister Gaston Browne\u2019s lifelong passion for helping the poor and underprivileged is being expressed by the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party\u2019s (ABLP) Constituency Branch of St. John\u2019s City West.<\/p>

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

PM Browne has been the elected Member of Parliament (MP) for City West for more than two decades, in addition to being political leader of the governing ABLP since 2012.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Constituency Branch undertook distribution of meals and other necessities to elderly persons in the constituency who are bedridden, shut-in and of impaired mobility.<\/p>

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

The City West Constituency Branch chairman, Delano \u201cLanno\u201d Richards, reported \u201cLast Thursday we did a distribution of adults\u2019 undergarments.\u201d<\/p>

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

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to Richards, \u201cThis program is ongoing until supplies are exhausted.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the supplies were sourced by PM Browne for the seniors and these supplies include \u201cequipment, wheelchairs, walkers and other accessories at the Branch Office, which we allow senior citizens to use on a loan basis if they are going to the hospital or going for their medication or whatever. That is one of the services that the Prime Minister is rolling out, and I can assure you that there are many more to come.\u201d<\/p>

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

Chairman Richards disclosed that the \u201clong term goal is to acquire a wheelchair ambulatory service that will take our senior citizens and our infirm ones to the hospital for dialysis, to the clinics, for doctors\u2019 appointments, wherever.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Prime Minister Browne was placing special focus on the senior citizens and those with infirmities or disabilities \u201cto give them a better life as the country continues to open up\u201d. Richards told us further: \u201cWe are also hoping that with this coming [30th Anniversary of] Independence, we will be able to celebrate it with our senior citizens in a big way.\u201d<\/p>

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

He noted, with due commendation, that \u201cthe Prime Minister has always been with senior citizens on special outings and luncheons [that he organizes and hosts for them] and I am sure that he will be with them again, as we plan to ensure that the life of our citizens and infirm in our constituency is improved.\u201d<\/p>
