“I AM A [DEM] at heart and I am very comfortable.”
With those words yesterday, Dr David Estwick declared he was happy in the bosom of the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) and had no intention of resigning.
He said he had no problem with Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler either, and believed the economic path the Government was on was the correct way to go, with some additional measures needed to minimise the negative impact on the most vulnerable.
Estwick’s revelation came at an impromptu interview at the St James home of DLP general secretary, Donville Inniss, after a near five-hour informal meeting of selected parliamentarians, which he and his colleagues described as informal and always pleasant.
It was Estwick’s first public statement since last Wednesday when, after a handing over ceremony for a renovated molasses storage facility at the Bridgetown Port, he vowed to speak “very soon” on the economy.
