Constituents Angry at UNC Couva North MP Ramona Ramdial : "No performance, motorcade and that was it, we get a nice bye bye"

Verbal blows for MP Ramdial




Couva North MP Ramona Ramdial came in for some verbal blows from Carli Bay, Couva resident, Mahadeo Ramdeen, 47. Holding posters of former Couva North MP Basdeo Panday and Ramdial, a disgruntled Ramdeen started demonstrating yesterday morning in front of Chin’s Grocery. It was before the start of a walk in the area by Ramdial and Dr Glenn Ramadharsingh, the Minister of the People and Social Development. Ramdeen accused Ramdial of non performance and only making campaign promises. He said his community suffers from a plethora of infrastructural problems and was not being assisted by Ramdial. He said: “Since the general election she pass in the motorcade and that was it, we get a nice bye bye.” Ramdeen said Panday should have stood on as the Couva North MP.  He, however, did not elaborate. Ramdeen, 47, who works on the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, continued his demonstration on the bridge in front of his house.


Ramdial: Everybody will be represented


Ramdial said Ramdeen’s claims were not true. “That is not true, he did not speak with me. Everybody who speaks with me will get representation.” Ramdial said there are plans to regularise the squatting community in Carli Bay, fix the infrastructure and assist residents living below the poverty line. She said the Government was also to bring relief to the residents living in the nearby Couva North Housing Development. The residents at the HDC have complained of bad roads and drains in the area. Sean Anthony, resident of the HDC Phase 2 development, said they are only getting excuses, “old talk” and promises from the relevant authorities; no action.
