REAL NEWS – Leader of the Opposition Jamale Pringle does not have an office from which to work and conduct the people’s business and, again, he has taken this complaint to Parliament.
On Thursday, July 27, MP Pringle – who represents the All Saints East and St. Luke constituency – said he has written repeatedly to the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Works about the condition of the building that houses the Opposition Leader’s Office.
He reports that the situation has deteriorated to the point where he is unable to use the premises anymore.
The MP says he has since written to the Department of the Legislature, as instructed by the clerk to Parliament.
Accordingly, a letter was sent, requesting that she follow up from her own office; but, again, he says he is yet to receive a response.
Pringle says it is a disgrace that an elected Member of Parliament –and the Leader of the Opposition, in particular – is expected to operate from such a deplorable structure.
And he adds that the Government is to be blamed for the condition of the building, which is a rented office.
In the meantime, Pringle says he is refusing to accept courtesy calls in that building, because of its unacceptable condition.
He notes that he is dismayed and in disbelief that, after five years, he still needs to raise this issue.
He was interrupted by Speaker of the House Sir Gerald Watt, who stated that the MP had made his point and had exceeded his five- minute allotted time.
The Speaker then suggested that Pringle find other way to address the matter. Pringle’s complaint came after boasts by St. John’s Rural East MP Maria Bird – the Works minister – who praised the Antigua Labour Party Government for its hard work in maintaining public buildings.
As examples, she cited the John E. St. Luce Conference Centre, the UWI Five Islands campus, and several others – almost all of which were projects of the United Progressive Party.

And rightfully so, your Honourable Jamale Pringle.
But as you know, this ABLP government will continue to ride roughshod over parliamentary procedures, especially where the elected opposition is concerned.
Furthermore, this is due to the fact that over the years the ABLP have been used to an overall majority in the House of Parliament; and they haven’t got a clue on how to deal with opponents that almost turfed them out of office at the last General Election … and this is the backlash.
Awful set ah people. Nasty as hell too!
You are right to highlight this DISPARITY, DISCREPANCY and DISSIMILATUDE your Honourable Jamale Pringle.

Are you perfect? Have you done all things right?
You all are cruel, inhuman and bullies. I hope all your children and grandchildren will be able to do better. When you are living in glass house don’t throw stones.
All these guys do is complain. How much would it cost Pringle to fix his own office and make it somewhere he would want to work off out. When Gaston was faced with the same problems he fixed it with his own money.
@ Fixed with his own money ? Mr Love money more than you love life?
Yeah right! Such a liar.
With all the millions he made from picking up death dogs from the street, what is a couple of thousands to fix your office so that you can receive your people and work in a conducive environment. Too damn stingy
