Kelvin Simon, the parliamentary representative for St. Mary’s South constituency, has formally committed to maintaining his focus on youth empowerment programs, social welfare initiatives, and infrastructure development throughout his upcoming term. In a comprehensive New Year’s address to constituents, Simon reflected on both accomplishments and ongoing challenges while outlining his vision for community advancement.
The legislator expressed profound gratitude to residents for their electoral support, characterizing their collective resilience as a fundamental inspiration during difficult periods. Educational enhancement emerged as a cornerstone achievement, with documented support including examination fee coverage for Jennings Secondary School CSEC candidates, coordinated distribution of academic materials through back-to-school initiatives, and technology provision for exceptional students and educators through laptop and tablet allocations.
Athletic development received significant emphasis in Simon’s review, with documented contributions to local football organizations, revitalization of netball programs, and sponsorship of international competitive opportunities for young athletes. The parliamentary representative specifically referenced a regional football excursion to St. Kitts that simultaneously functioned as a memorial tribute to a deceased youth community member.
Simon reaffirmed his ongoing engagement with the unsolved homicide case of Kahleel Simon, fatally victimized on his eighteenth birthday, vowing persistent pursuit of judicial resolution. The MP additionally honored former constituency representatives Hilson “Bro B” Baptiste and Victor McKay, acknowledging their enduring influence on his legislative approach.
While celebrating developmental progress, Simon openly addressed unresolved infrastructure deficiencies including the suboptimal condition of Bolans playing field, undelivered stadium seating commitments, and the incomplete fire station project. These concerns were identified as priority objectives for intensified advocacy efforts.
Looking toward the 2026 electoral cycle, Simon emphasized that constituency advancement would necessitate unified determination and collaborative action, positioning collective effort as indispensable for sustainable community development.
