Nassau, Bahamas - On Saturday July 09, 2016, Buscheme Armbrister, DNA Candidate for
the Carmichael area, took to the streets of Emerald Gardens within his
constituency. During his neighborhood rounds many residents reached out
to the Candidate complaining about the overgrown bushes in the area. Ms.
Fermeta Whitfield, one of the residents within Emerald Gardens said she
is fed up by the lack of concern for the area from the sitting Member
of Parliament. She further explains how crime is at an increasingly high
rate and the high bushes are a breeding ground for house break-ins
among other things. DNA Carmichael candidate & his team (many from
the area) decided to jump on this right away. Mr. Armbrister is known to
be a man of his word and has said from day one 'He is here to bring
change.. No more time for talk. Just action.' For quite some time Mr.
Armbrister has been studying The Broken Window theory. The term "Broken
Windows" metaphor used to describe the concept "If a window is broken
and left unrepaired, people walking by will conclude that no one cares
and no one is in charge." This theory says that the little things
matter. Which in essence means sweat the small stuff.
Mr. Armbrister expressed that while canvassing the Carmichael area
it has been noted that the parks are unkept. The bathrooms are
despicable, the landscaping is not maintained, There are basketball
courts without nets or rims. A few of the young men within the area
asked Mr. Armbrister to purchase nets for the basketball court and so he
did. Mr. Armbrister mentioned that we are trying to keep the young
boys off the streets and keep them busy with something productive. As
simple as basketball nets. Yet the sitting member of parliaments for
Carmichael is the minister of Youth, Sports & Culture. This raises
the question what are the funds being used for if the funds allocated to
maintain the parks aren't being used to do just that? Once again this
is where accountability comes in. Persons need to be held accountable.
Mr. Armbrister is tired of the traditional politician who decides
to come 3 months before election and start painting buildings, removing
derelict vehicles, cutting down the bushes, paving the roads, fixing
up the parks etc. The
residents of
Carmichael have complained that for the last 4 years they have not seen
or heard from Minister Danny Johnson. It's unfortunate as he was chosen
to represent and speak on behalf of his constituents. We have been
on the ground in Carmichael from September of last year. Mr.
Armbrister says that 'The biggest room in the world is always the room
for change'. He wants to be here for the constituents of the Carmichael
community and if given the opportunity he guarantees to not let them
down.
