Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton on Tuesday described the government’s low-income houses as “kitchen coops” while urging citizens to demand more when it comes to accessing housing.
“On the question of houses [I want to say I was recently] travelling along the East Bank, the road through Providence here, and I saw some kitchen coops being built. I saw some also just as you cross the bridge [into Mocha].
“Now I don’t know if the government recognizes that if you develop houses below a certain size and you put families in them, you are creating some difficulties for the family. You’ll imagine a family of three in a one-bedroom where you need for division between male activities and children activities. Sometimes I think this government lacks brain power,” Norton told reporters.
