Enniskillen needs New Voice To Represent Everyone

Enniskillen needs New Voice To Represent Everyone

Alliance Party Enniskillen by-election candidate Dr Kumar Kamble is today submitting his nomination papers at the Townhall in Enniskillen. He stated that Enniskillen needs a new voice that will represent everyone, not just one side or the other. He also said that people are sick of the failures of the Executive to meet in the past two months and their failure over key issues like scrapping the 11-plus, environmental protection and the Maze stadium.

Dr Kumar Kamble said: “People in Enniskillen need a fresh new voice to represent the whole community, not just one of the two sides. I have a strong background in serving the community as a doctor at the Erne Hospital so I understand the concerns people have about funding for local services.

“The DUP, Sinn Fein, the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP are failing within the Stormont Executive. It is their fault that there is total chaos over the scrapping of the 11-plus, they failed to create an independent environmental protection agency, they are letting weeds grow over the Maze site instead of building a stadium, and they have not implemented free personal care for older people.

“These parties’ catalogue of failures almost grows on a weekly basis. The Executive has not met since mid-June and will not meet again until mid-September because they cannot agree on anything. This shows the total lack of respect that these parties have for local people.

“For too long, Fermanagh has suffered underfunding in vital services and public transport. We have also missed out on important job and tourism opportunities and I aim to address these problems. It’s time for a fair deal for Fermanagh.”

Ford Announces Dr Kamble as Enniskillen By-election Candidate

Alliance Leader David Ford has today announced that Dr Kumar Kamble will be the party’s candidate in the forthcoming by-election in Enniskillen. David Ford said he was very pleased to announce such a high-profile and well respected local candidate.

David Ford said: “I am very pleased to announce that Dr Kumar Kamble will be the Alliance Party candidate in next month’s Enniskillen by-election. Dr Kamble is a prominent figure who is held in very high regard by the community he serves in the Erne hospital.

“It’s important that the people of Enniskillen are given the chance to vote for a party and a candidate that appeals to everyone, not just one side or another. The tribal parties are failing at Stormont. The DUP and Sinn Fein are simply not working. The Stormont Executive has not met since mid-June and will not meet until mid-September. This election gives people the opportunity to say they are not happy with this situation.”

Dr Kumar Kamble said: “It is a great honour to have been selected to represent Alliance in the forthcoming by-election. Enniskillen needs a Councillor who will work for everyone in the area, not simply for one of the two tribes.

“There are a number of key issues that I will be campaigning on. I want ensure that Fermanagh receives a fair deal. Too often Fermanagh is left as the poor relation when it comes to funding for health, education and community services. I want to see more jobs coming to the area and more assistance provided to maximise the potential of our exciting tourism industry.

“I will also be campaigning to ensure that the gridlock which can be seen around Enniskillen most days is alleviated. I will be working hard to provide improved public transport for the town and the outlying areas. Better and more frequent bus services will encourage people to get out of their cars and this will make Enniskillen a far easier place to get around.”
