LETTER: Kelvin “Shugy” Simon neglected branch office

For over two years, Kelvin “Shugy” Simon neglected one of the most basic responsibilities of representation—opening a branch office to hear and serve the people. For over two years, that office sat closed, useless, and absent—just like the representation the people were promised.

No access. No accountability. No presence.

Now, suddenly, on the eve of an election, the doors are open.

Let’s not sugarcoat it—this is a blatant political gimmick.

For years, there were no excuses about resources, no urgency, no effort. The people were ignored. Their concerns went unheard. But now, with elections approaching, there is a sudden, desperate attempt to appear relevant.

That is not leadership—that is hypocrisy.

That is not service—that is deception.

Do they really think the people are blind? Do they really believe voters are so easily fooled? That we would forget two years of silence just because a door is finally opened at the last minute?

The people of this constituency are not fools. We see through the timing. We see through the act. And we will not be disrespected by last-minute theatrics disguised as leadership.

You cannot abandon the people for years and then show up at the final hour expecting trust.

The truth is simple: real representation is consistent—it doesn’t show up only when votes are needed.

The people are watching. The people are fed up. And the people will respond.
