#TurksandCaicos, December 20, 2017 – Providenciales – The PNP party plans to alter its public relations and public advocacy strategy now that the first year of a PDM Administration is over; the Leader of the Opposition, Washington Misick said he carries the blame for the approach of the Progressive National Party in this first year after their loss at the polls.
“….to make sure that we are more accessible to the public as a party in a forum like this, or another forum. I take full responsibility for the fact that we have not been as accessible, that I have not been as accessible perhaps as I ought to be as the leader of the party.”
To Magnetic Media question on the way forward; whether there will be a convention and the election of a new party leader in the near future, there was a firm promise that a new leader will be selected well in advance of the next polls but no date for when that would happen.
“I can’t tell you when that will be, next week, next month, but take my word, it will be long long in advance of the next election, and that new leader wouldn’t be me. There may also be change in the House as it relates to who leads the opposition, I think that is quite possible, I see my job as a succession planner.”
In a pre-emptive move, the PNP House Members sat before supporters and media on Tuesday evening laying out their concerns with the new Government administration; charging them largely with incompetence and an inability to deliver on the promises of their Change document.
“I have a list here, and these are not all, with sixty one (61) promises, these are the ones that we were able to extract from the change document, sixty one of them, and I can tell you that not a single one of these were delivered in twelve months, not a single one, including the ones that they said they would deliver in the first hundred days.”
More to come from the PNP press conference, which was attened by Porshas Smith, Member for the Bight; Akierra Missick, member for Long Bay and Leeward and Royal Robinson, PNP Appointed member to the House of Assembly.
