The Opposition People’s National Party is calling for residents of Western St. Thomas to get rid of James Robertson as their Member of Parliament claiming he is unsuitable for the post.
At a mass meeting in front of Robertson’s constituency office in St. Thomas last night, PNP general secretary Peter Bunting claimed many residents of Western St. Thomas are ashamed of their MP.
The PNP noted that Robertson has been shrouded in too much controversy pointing to the revocation of his United States visa as well as criminal accusations implicating him in a murder conspiracy.
Robertson has denied being involved in any criminal activity, and the case has also failed to get off the ground.
But the PNP is claiming that the constituency has been scarred by Robertson’s representation and says it’s time to return the seat to the PNP.
MP for Eastern St. Thomas, Dr. Fenton Ferguson, says the PNP’s candidate Leonard Green means the constituency well.
He says he is confident he and Green can win both seats in St. Thomas and begin working together to develop the parish.
The mass meeting in Yallahs was the final stop of a bus tour across the parish yesterday.
The tour is aimed at ramping up support ahead of the next general election.
Last month the PNP bus tour went through sections of St. Catherine and Clarendon.
