People’s National Party Caretaker for South St. James, Nekeisha Burchell, is calling out the Government for what she describes as “a yearly ritual of pretty speeches with no follow-through” when it comes to agriculture in the Constituency.

Her comment is in response to Agriculture Minister Floyd Green’s recent announcement at the Montpelier Agricultural Show that the Government will invest $600 billion towards revitalizing the Montpelier Agricultural Research Station.

She claims this is only another empty gesture by the Government.

She says South St. James deserves true investments.
