Supporters of the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) gathered outside the Ministry of Works building on Thursday, demanding an independent forensic investigation into issues they say require greater government transparency.
The protest, led by political activist and UPP member George Wehner, featured chants and songs as demonstrators called for accountability. Wehner led the crowd in a rendition of “We Shall Overcome,” using the civil rights anthem to underscore their determination.
“We want justice,” Wehner declared through a loudspeaker. “Not for Justin Brown to tell us that he knows what went wrong and he alone can fix it. That is not good enough. That is not democracy.”
Chants of “Call the investigation now!” echoed repeatedly as protesters lined the street in front of the ministry.
The group is calling for an independent inquiry into alleged irregularities involving the Ministry of Works. Government officials have not yet issued a formal response to the demonstration.

“Don’t close up” great move! bunch a jokers. The only country where demonstration and marches failed in getting true results.
Leader of the opposition should’ve been in Brazil, looking like a real leader. I recalled a big rant when one was left out of the UK visit.
“Don’ jam up”. Help us Lord! UPP, when will y’all come sensible and get it together?
That’s some protest!🤣 12 people! Wehner saying “Don’t jam up!”, “Don’t close up!” trying to create an illusion that there are more than 12 people there! What a clown🤡. Maybe there were more UPP supporters there to start with but when they heard Wehner’s painful attempt at singing, they left covering their ears.🙉
erm….plen t people min dey…me count 20
What a bunch of sorry IMBECILES. You mean to tell me they have nothing else to do with their time.
Seems like they follow in the footstep of the Barbudan that went to England to demonstrate against the PM trying to raise funds to rebuild their homes.
PAPPYSHOW 🤡 🤡 🤡
Mercyyyyy look a people!! What a “MASSIVE CROWD” 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
This is a VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE against Pringle and UPP!!
I never knew that all the supporters of a political party could be so indoctrinated. Their leaders have been stealing from the country everytime they are the government and they attack anyone who opposes the thefts. They are good candidates for serious, interesting case studies. Since 2014, there have been numerous instances of grave illicit wheelings and dealings within the government and not a single person has ever been even interrogated. Is it unreasonable to believe that these followers steal from their jobs? It is well known that most of these sorry souls are employed by the government through their parliamentary representatives and their affiliates and are generally lowdown thieves who are shuffled throughout the government system whenever their thiefing practices become too commonplace. It’s easy to understand why they are so forceful in their defense. Should another party assumes governance, it will be hell because no other organization will ever tolerate their thiefing practices. That’s just how they function. For the rest of us; it’s just hopeless hope that they will grow some brains and acquire some conscience.
You sound worse that indoctrinated. You sound BRAINWASHED, BITTER, NUMB and DUMB!
Again, I pay my taxes and I want to know how this fraudulent practice was allowed to go on for so long under both Brownes’ watch?
The ridicule of the opposition continues from the neanderthals and the brainwashed, but this should be a major concern for all taxpaying citizens of ALL political persuasion.
The rich well an’ know that ignorance is a bliss
All UPP needs is strong, strategic leadership. Aman who misses a great opportunity in Brazil to represent his country and party and himself for a picket during working hours where no one could or would attend is a man that is not ready for the world stage or any stage. Pringle give your sure seat to Lovell and bow out gracefully. You did the best that you are capable of, no one can fault you…it’s time to go.. take one for the team and let it go, let the party go… the party is dying, please take your exit before the party takes their last breath. Pringle must go!!!
