Senator Dwayne George: A Leader Who Gets Things Done

OPINION: Senator Dwayne George: A Leader Who Gets Things Done

Senator Dwayne George has made it clear—he is not here to criticize anyone’s work but to ensure that the needs of St. Mary’s South are met with action and commitment. As the caretaker of St. Mary’s South, appointed by the Honorable Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Senator George is determined to focus on getting things done for the people.

Acknowledging that he was not elected by the constituents but entrusted with this responsibility, Senator George emphasizes that his role is to step in where there are gaps. Meanwhile, he points out that the elected representative, who receives a monthly constituency allowance meant for community development, has instead diverted these funds toward personal travel and leisure activities.

Senator George has not let this hinder his mission. He has taken it upon himself to address long-standing issues in the constituency, proving his dedication through tangible results. Among his accomplishments:

1. Road RepairsAfter 14 years of neglect, the road near Mike’s Supermarket, once in a deplorable state, has been repaired under Senator George’s initiative.
2. Support for the ElderlySenator George has organized two excursions and a luncheon for the elderly, demonstrating care and appreciation for their contributions to the community.
3. Soup KitchenA major success under his leadership, the soup kitchen continues to provide over 200 warm meals each time it operates, bringing relief to many.
4. Small Business InitiativeRecognizing the importance of economic empowerment, he has created a small business program to help entrepreneurs in St. Mary’s South access much-needed funds.
5. Scholarship ProgramSenator George is investing in the youth by offering two scholarships—one to the top male and one to the top female student of the constituency’s secondary school. This initiative reflects his commitment to fostering education and opportunities for future leaders.
6. Bridge RepairsUnderstanding the vital importance of safety, Senator George personally funded the repair of a bridge that had been in a dangerous state for five to six months. The bridge, which had already saved lives in the past, was restored not only for the community’s well-being but with the awareness that it might save another life—including his own.

Looking forward, Senator George is also launching an after-class program starting next year, providing additional academic support to students in the constituency.

“I will not pass over anything in this constituency that needs fixing,” he declared. “As a caretaker, it is my responsibility to ensure that the needs of St. Mary’s South are met, no matter the challenge.”

Senator George’s actions speak louder than words, and his commitment to St. Mary’s South serves as a powerful reminder of what leadership is truly about—service, integrity, and results.
