Gilroy Usher Sr. Defends His Work in Port Loyola

Now, let’s hear Usher’s response to Anthony “Boots” Martinez. Usher claims he’s made strides in housing infrastructure, having built a dozen starter homes for residents. He showed us a property with three of these homes already in place. Usher emphasized that this is just the beginning of what he plans to offer his constituents.

 

Gilroy Usher, P.U.P. Candidate, Port Loyola

“We promised the people we would give them proper housing, so what have the PUP done? We have built starter homes for the people, cement starter homes with ceiling, partition, electrical wiring, and basic plumbing facilities. These houses cost the home owners only twenty-five dollars for week, or a hundred dollars for month. In terms of the amount of houses, Port Loyola has already obtained eleven starter homes, three right here, one on the boulevard, one in Jane Usher, one in Burrel Boom and one in Black Berry and residents in Port Loyola are also slated to receive five more starter homes in Blackberry as soon as the houses are distributed along with houses for other constituency. So this talk about me not doing anything for the resident in terms of housing, is total nonsense, hot air, by someone who is a failure in the division for thirteen years. Secondly, with their support of MIDH, under Minister Julius Espat, we have given residents of Port Loyola dozens of house grants that has ranged from five hundred to one thousand five hundred dollars. I myself has given scores of persons housing grants in the division.”
