Speaking to reporters at the presentation, Ramson Jr., during brief remarks, stated, “Coming into government, what the People’s Progressive Party/Civic had said, is that we would be a government for all people; regardless of whether the area had supported the PPP, our position, our action in government is that we are there for all people.”
