Jack wants only a chance to serve
Chairman of UNC-Alliance Austin Jack Warner says if he is given a seat, and is able to sit in the Parliament, he wants a salary of $1 a month.
“After one year and my party feels that I am deserving of it, then give me $2. That is my personal pledge to you, the people,” Warner told the crowd during his address at the UNC-A victory rally at Mid-Centre Mall in Chaguanas, yesterday.
“I want no allowance. All I want is a chance to serve you.”
Warner said UNC-A would do things differently this election.
He said the party had no intention of conducting character assassination or maligning anyone.
“We are going to tell the people what we shall do to improve their lives.”
He told members of the balloon-waving crowd that they should not be tempted to sling mud at the opposition.
“Don’t be tempted. If you can’t bring them up to your standards, don’t go down to theirs. Let them stay in the gutter.”
Warner also told a smiling Ramesh Lawrence-Maharaj that he wanted him to take a constituency “as his.”
To his supporters, Warner urged them to support the UNC-A, saying that “Nobody, except God, loves you more than we do.” (CM)
