PM says his gov’t can do better at communicating with the people

Four months after the New Democratic Party (NDP) swept into power in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, ending 25 years of opposition, Prime Minister Godwin Friday has openly addressed public criticism that his new administration has failed to effectively push back against opposition narratives and communicate its progress to voters. In a candid interview with Hot 97 FM on Friday, the prime minister — who also holds key portfolios including finance, legal affairs, justice, economic planning and private sector development — opened up about the dual challenges his government is navigating: cleaning up the fiscal mess left by the previous Unity Labour Party (ULP) administration and improving public outreach.
