PHILIPSBURG--Parking spaces allocated to Members of Parliament (MPs) were available in the Clem Labega Square parking lot on Monday, but not accessible as a barricade blocked the way. This left the some 20 spots vacant.
MPs were informed by President of Parliament Gracita Arrindell over the weekend that the parking spaces to the RBTT end of the lot were available for them. However, with no security guard to remove the barricade they had to find alternative parking.
Arrindell said she was assured by government that a security guard would be present to assist the MPs. No one showed up for duty. She is seeking to remedy the situation.
Arrindell had also come under some criticism for the spaces being allocated in the parking lot, a move that would lessen government's revenue.
She told The Daily Herald that a request for parking in the parking lot of the Government Administration Building accompanied with a drawing was submitted to government. This was responded to with the spaces in Clem Labega Square. "We did not ask to be there."
