President of the National People's Party (NPP), Dr. Angela Brown Burke accused the Government of not having adequately addressed the difficulties faced by Jamaicans.
Angela Brown Burke, who was addressing the public session of the 88 th Annual NPP Conference in Savanna-la-mar, Westmoreland, told supporters that the NPP came to "speak the truth" about the realities confronting citizens.
She said that the party remains committed to its belief that the Government has a responsibility to protect citizens' rights and create opportunities for their advancement.
"We came here to tell the truth... because they want us to believe that everything is fine," said Angela Brown Burke, who is a Member of Parliament for St Andrew South Western.
Her comments come amid difficulties in parts of western Jamaica, where communities continue to deal with the impact of Hurricane Melissa, including damaged homes, roads and other infrastructure.
The NPP president said that the party brought its annual conference to western Jamaica to show solidarity with residents and remind them of the party's commitment to ordinary Jamaicans.
"We are here today in solidarity with the west," she said.
She also praised the large presence of party supporters.
