Should the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) candidate for Clarendon Northern, Dwight Sibblies, be elected on September 3, among his top priorities will be improving the road network, access to water and creating more jobs.
An accountant and attorney-at-law, Sibblies is seeking to upset the People’s National Party (PNP) incumbent in two weeks’ time.
“The constituency, though it is rural, is very entrepreneurial, and the entrepreneurial spirit can go so much and no more if you don’t have proper infrastructure to support and to make it happen,” Sibblies said as he knocked Dalley for failing to improve critical infrastructure in his more than two decades as member of parliament.
Sibblies said that his plan for the constituency also includes ecotourism, mentioning that he has already been approached by persons from Canada who have an interest in opening an environmentally friendly block factory.
“They are currently looking for property to purchase in the constituency. Persons in the constituency can benefit directly and indirectly. The interesting thing about this proposal is that if they come here, they don’t have to employ one man,” he said. “The 1,000 workers they are estimating that they will need can be just females.”
