VIDEO: Kelvin Shugy Simon sworn-in as MP for St. Mary’s South

22
St. Mary’s South Member of Parliament is back in the Lower House of Parliament. Simon, who previously resigned in June after legal wrangling about the legitimacy of his election, took the Oath of Allegiance earlier today.
Scores of family, friends, and onlookers donned UPP parry colours in support of Simon.
Simon, in October’s by-election, beat the DNA’s Andrew Antonio and the ABLP’s Dwayne George.

  3. Congratulations Mr. Simon for doing what you just did second time around. The road is long and won’t be easy in light of a negative ruling ALP that has done everything possible to overturn the will of the St. Marys South people. They are the smartest voters in the country so please stay focused and show them each day that you’re working for them. Best wishes. God bless.🙏🙏🙏.

  4. Simon looked very uncomfortable swearing in simply because of the nonsense he has to utter before he can serve his people. He didn’t swear allegiance to SMS, or Antigua or the constitution. No, to King Charles III.

    God help this nation.

    • I agree with you @ Forward Going Nowhere about swearing allegiance to a controversial British monarch; and it’s not only the Most Honourable Kelvin Shugy Simon having to show OBEDIENCE and COMMITMENT to a offshore king, but anyone who obtains Antiguan citizenship has to do likewise as well.

      Come on Prime Minister, release Antiguans from this unnecessary bondage – and if you are not sure how to go about it, give your Bajan colleague, the Honourable Mia Mottley a call.

      I would NEVER swear allegiance to Charles. NEVER!!!

      I, I, I, think I’m about to … 🤮

    • The absence of the media on this historic occasion was so noticeable. After all the millions spent and the mad ravings of the DAWG, I expected nothing different. What a country. Congrats to MP Simon. Again.

        @ RED RED

        O ye bitter one!

        You will have many more bitter moments, because you cannot stop this. You and your ‘god’ and the ‘difigated’ Dwayne George have lost after wasting millions when you cannot each wash your skin daily.

      • @RED,RED DEAD:YOU HAVE A LOT OF GALL SAYING CELEBRATING WASTE.JUST TAKE THE TIME AND LOOK AT GASTON BROWNE AND HIS CABINET. TELL ME,WHAT DO YOU SEE.I SEE A BUNCH OF OBESE LAZY DO NOTHING BASTARDS.THEY NEED TO TAKE A PAY CUT MONTHLY, FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.LAZY,LAZY,LAZY,ARSES.

  10. Yes indeed. A true political warrior that fought all the way to this day for his constituent.

    Go and fulfill your calling young man..you were born to serve and help people.

    Hearty Congratulations 🎉👏.

  12. CONGRATULATIONS TO KELVIN SIMON ON THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION.I DO BELIEVED YOU WOULD BE DOING VERY WELL IN THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES ON BEHALF OF ST MARYS SOUTH AND ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AS A WHOLE.

  13. Congratulations to Hon.Kelvin Simon. I pray you continue continue to be an honest and upright representative and citizen. Make St. Marys proud and happy. Be a becon for the young generation who looks up to you .

  14. Once again Pringle showed how inept he is. It is embarrassing to see that an elected member can go to parliament and make such a fool of himself that even his colleges were laughing at him. Pringle could not understand that LIAT 1974 and LIAT 2020 are two different companies and that LIAT 2020 is not yet operational.

    I really don’t see the humor anymore in his performance. I only see embarrassment for the standard that our parliament is operating at with these inept UPP politicians, that really should not be in our Parliament. What a shame.
    But then again the saying goes, “You get the Government you deserve”. That is the price of DEMOCRACY. People can sometimes vote against their best interest.

    • @From the sideline
      I agree with you that the UPP has to up their game. They cannot be coming to parliament to ask questions just for the sake of asking questions. They need to come to parliament with pertinent questions and when Gaston gives his flippant answers, they should be prepared for him.
      All democracies should have an opposition in parliament. It appears that Gaston doesn’t want an opposition and treats the opposition members with disdain. The opposition has a right to be in government just like him and he needs to show respect. They are who the people elected. He does not own Antigua and Barbuda all the resources. What does he want? A country like Haiti where Papa Doc ruled the country and then his son took over after he died? A dictatorship?
      The opposition asked a question about PLH, and all he said was offset. And the opposition let him get away with that answer without clarification. Most intelligent people suspect that all is not up and up with PLH.
      I am tired of seeing the clown show in parliament. The opposition must up their game and come to parliament prepared and stop asking questions with no depth.

  15. So Brix, tell me what was Shuggy’s contribution the first day in parliament? Did he stand up and ask questions to the PM about things not being done in SMS. Afterall he is the representative of that constituency.
    No he just warmed the chair. None of these guys are ready for prime time. They standup and ask dumb questions of the PM and Pringle up to now doesn’t know what he can bring under the agenda point “Personal Explanation”. he stood up to talk about some rubbish that the NSW has not picked up. As if he doesn’t have the means to call a truck and take it to the dump himself.
    Total ineptness from the UPP side.

    • Yow Sidey!

      I am still BASKING in the Honourable Kelvin Shugy Simon’s Swearing-in ceremony at Parliament House – it was so moving, it left the hairs on the back of my neck standing.

      WHAT A REMARKABLE DAY IT WAS – LET ME ENJOY IT, AND THEN GET BACK TO ME 😁

      BETTER THINGS TO COME SIDELINE …
