Election Date to be announced in two weeks
The UWP anticipates that what they deem as the desperate and corrupt actions of Mr Skerrit by spending $259,000 of tax payers money from the public treasury for an upcoming election campaign type event, and his Minister of Health excuse given to the media on Wednesday this week, that he did not attend the recent ALBA organized meeting in Cuba to deal with Ebola because he has to do work in his Constituency, will lead to the General Elections announcement within the next two weeks.
