Taan Abed is a
"Bajan". He has been a bona fide citizen of Barbados for
31 years and has lived in the constituency all these years. He
fervently believes that the benefits of progress in this
country should be shared by all, regardless of origin or
class. He is very concerned about disparities in his Christ Church West constituency, such as the
high cost of living, the high prices of land and
housing. He also sees lifestyle diseases as major
problems confronting his constituents. These things
prompted him to enter politics under the DLP banner in an
effort to bring about a more equitable and healthy
society. He intends pursuing this goal with his usual
tenacity.
Taan is an Honours graduate in Mechanical Engineering from
Mamarita College and has studied Information Technology at the
Barbados Community College. He is now the Managing
Director of New Way Auto Repairs and other businesses, which
have provided jobs for countless Barbadians. He has also
helped many Barbadians to get their businesses off the ground,
and has provided needed assistance to the "average man in the
street".
Taan is a devout Christian, a humble approachable and
community-minded individual, a sponsor of several sports,
cultural and community activities across the island. He
has chosen the development of young people through sports,
training and progressive employment as one of his social
priorities.
Taan brings to the political arena a spirit of enterprise,
a sense of purpose, a business culture and a profound respect
for human rights.
Taan is married to Lorraine (nee Moses) and is the father
of three children - one girl and two boys. |
