Former United Progressive Party member Anthony Smith, who is now the Minister of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries, and Blue Economy, told parliament that he feels he is being unfairly criticized by his former colleagues for two reasons.

Smith’s resignation from the UPP came as a shock to the entire nation on Monday, and on Thursday, he addressed Parliament for the first time as an independent member of the House.

There have been mixed feelings from the public about Smith’s resignation.

He mentioned that he felt belittled because of what he described as “two sins” and invited people to listen to what he believes these two sins were.
