MINISTER within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar has said that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government is one that listens and addresses the concerns of all citizens across the country.

Minister Indar made this known during a recent outreach at Goed Fortuin, where President Dr. Irfaan Ali and other members of the government listened to and addressed the concerns of residents and persons living in surrounding communities.

While addressing the residents, he indicated that he was happy to see that residents had turned out in their numbers, as it proved that they value what is going on in their community, and would like to see development taking place.

“The most important part of that is that you know you’re not speaking to a void,” he said.

When persons know they are speaking to a void, they tend to not turn up, as they know their concerns will not be attended to.

This, he said, is not the case with the current PPP/C government.

“This is not the case; you know to your heart that you’re not speaking to a void. You know when you raise a matter you get some kind of action associated with it; you know when you raise an issue you get resolutions to it,” the minister said.

He said this is further evidenced by the government’s fulfilment of and even surpassing of its promises.

The minister went on to add that while many who are now on the side of the opposition rubbished the PPP/C’s ambitious plans, the said plans have come to fruition. This, he said, included the promise of delivering 50,000 house lots and job creation among other things.

Minister Indar went on to add that trust is an important thing, and the PPP/C administration had garnered the trust of the citizens by delivering on its promises.
