Does this mean that Ausbert D'auvergne has been recruited by the New Yorkers who want to take over the government, the Lackeys of Prudent Movement (LPM)?
Any new political, coming up now, will only make the SLP stronger, that will cause than to win all the seats.
Can't wait for elections....but time left is enough time for this Prime Minister to drown into oblivion!!!!
We do not have a PM in St Lucia, we have a King, only Kings can have their crown pass on or handed to them. I am very serious, do you see King deserve to be PM of a country?
@@@@@@Any new political, coming up now, will only make the SLP stronger, that will cause than to win all the seats.@@@@@@@
You have stated an opinion, please provide the empirical evidence.
Chastanet should know that the government is broke because he's mainly responsible for the excessive spending on his adventurous failed schemes that drain the coffers of the country. For example, the timing of the changing of the Tourist Board logo from "Simply Beautiful" to "The Legend" cost St. Lucia a small fortune. Why a new Logo now...it really does not make any sense. Added to that in the two years or so he's been heading the Tourist Board, monetary problems has arised from his failed adventures. Now the Tourist Board, like many Government Departments, soon will not be able to pay it's staff.
That's what he's concern about that why he's putting out the SOS.
My evidence about any three corner fight between the SLP and a non performing government like the uwp is. Do you know which two seats that the SLP had NEVER won in St Lucia? Well i will tell you, it is the two Micoud seats. The SLP end up wining the Micoud South seat, just because there was a three corner fight, do you remember that? The uwp won most of the seats in the last election by a slim majority, and there is no reason for the SLP supporters not to continue to support SLP. Because of the poor performance of the uwp and the lack of John Compton, a lot of people who voted for uwp will never vote for them this time around. So with that they will lose the next election.
Dream on...........
All you all the uwpeeees will be dreaming in two years time, because it will be a very long time before they ever get back into office.
It's been 3 yrs and you're still suffering from post traumatic shock from losing the election, let it go ...you lost.
We all in St Lucia are suffering from a shock of a non performing government. There would be no shock if the government was performing, we all would be happy.
We all lost because the country is taking a backward step.
45,000 million dollars lost in Rochamel and you claim the country is taking a backward step?
LOL
U are so full of it!!!

I ask you for Empirical evidence on this is the sh###T you feeding me? Not only is your analysis unscientific, it is a whack job!
What about testing your analysis for a moment? If A,B,C, and D voted for the party X in a given elections, and E,F,G voted for the party Y in that same election, who won that election?
If in another election A and B opt to vote for party S because they are not satisfied with the performance X and E join them to vote for party S because she was not satisfied with her leader, who do you conclude is going to win this election?
With all the money lost in Rochamel, the country was still moving farward with the SLP, now we have a PM who never went to school, everything is back to square one. In the old days of Compton more money use to disappear and the country still use to move forward.
Oh, you all can steal money because the amount you all stole was not that big?
Boy I thought I had heard more ridiculous things than that.
Yes money was lost with Rochamel but the country was still moving forward, we changed to the uwp and the country is at a standstill. In the old days of Compton more money was disappearing and the country was still moving ahead.
Oh, you all can steal money because the amount you all stole was not that big?
Boy I thought I had heard more ridiculous things than that.
S-UK. that thing about party X and party Y, is just book knowledge and what you learned in school, that is not what is happening in St Lucia. We must drop book knowledge when we reach in the real world and we must try to be practical. In St lucia there are (1) people who will vote for SLP or uwp do not matter what. (2) There are some people who voted the uwp in the last election just because Compton was the leader, (3) There were some people who voted for the uwp because they though they would have done better. Now the people in group (1) will always remain., this is the core of the party support. The uwp will loose the people in group (2) because Compton is no longer there, they will also lose the support of group (3) because they are not performing better that the SLP. group 1 and 2 may not vote, vote for the SLP or vote for another party if there is one. Talking about scientific evidence, i know what i am talking about, because i was paid to carry out a servey once at election time by the uwp.
Now we understand why you hate the UWP so much, they're your former boss. So that's why you're so bitter eh.
Stop telling the rest of us ***you know what you are talking about***.
Make us understand. Convince us that you know what you are talking about with an empirical finding and not some twisted or nomological argument. Otherwise, the rest of us will have to dimiss you as some pityful party hack.
Say what you know and not what you are programmed to say.
There's still time for both parties to reach on level ground for the next election. SLP is making mistakes, like trying to cause chaos: criticizing the Taiwanese even though they went beyond the call of duty in completing the Mental Hospital.
They are also trying to politicise our diplomatic relations. Kenny Anthony is a wild card, whiles I like his accomplishments during his administration he has his arrogance and takes people for fools. Think about it, whenever the SLP is mentioned does any other name besides Kenny Anthony come up? Robert Lewis? No. Phillip J. Pierre? No.
UWP got off to a rough start with scandals and the lost of a key political figure, RIP. But as long as Rufus and Frederick work assiduously in the background whiles the others work hard to bolster the image of the UWP, and exercise good governance, we could be in for a close election.
S-UK, i though you was an intelligent person , but now you start with the name calling, you have lost all your creditability. What is an EMPIRICAL FINDING. We have to put our ears on the ground, to know what is happening in St Lucia, because some of these so called scientific surveys have been wrong in the past, when it comes to election results. The person who said i hate the uwp, that is not true, i hate the idea we are paying some men to only create scandals, travel mostly every day and do very little work in the country. If things was going well in St Lucia, i would never be complaining.
Don't allow ignorance to consume you. Scientific data that have proven to be incorrect, are those that are forged or results that are manipulated. If X is seeking a desired result and attempt to manipulate the findings, the outcome will of course be in doubt.
You live in a modern world. Stop dragging your ears on the ground for results that only you can associate with. It's not intelligent. It's a mark of backwardness.
ZEIGY, ZEIGY, ZEIGY in the two years remaining the uwp do not have enough time to level any grounds, they have made to many mistakes in the three years. the people will remember that. The SLP did not criticize the Taiwanese for finishing the hospital but for getting involved in St Lucia politics. it is the Taiwanese Chou who is politicizing his diplomatic relations, by getting involved in St L ucia politics. What do you mean that kenny is a wild card? Tell us how he is arrogant and is taking people for fools. So what if people choose to mention Kenny, because he is the leader. What is wrong with that? You said uwp got off to a rough start with scandals and the lost of their leader. That is very true but they are still in that rough spot because the scandals still continues. So you did not expect an 82 year old grand father to die from the pressures of governing a country? i was expecting him to die, because this is around the age most people die. Why do yo think they send people on retirement, at about 65 years, you think is just because they love them, no it is because they cannot function as well as before.
ZEIGY, please get your head straight, we did not elect Frederick and Rufus to work in any background, they are public servants and we are paying them to work in the open. In the first place why did you choose Rufus and Frederick? I believe the emage of the uwp is already compromised, so no amount of work can change that. Do not even talk about election, because St Lucians are not stupid enough to re elect that incompetent government.
S-UK. We all know we are living in a modern world but sometimes we still have to revert to tradition medicine to cure us, you get it. So you saying every time a scientific survey are proven to be wrong, somebody manipulate it. You have no proof os that. The voice of the people is the voice of God, that could cause anyone to make a judgement.
My political survey says that the UWP will lead for at least one more term. It's logics, people will give them the time because they are fixing so many things which were broken and neglected under the previous administration.
Things are only surfacing right now because symbolically under the flambeau (light) all the uglies are popping up, coming out of the dark.
We need both parties to work together for the advancement of the people. God Bless Saint Lucia and our people.
Please, please tell us what is the uwp fixing that was broken in St Lucia?
Please, please tell us what that was broken that the uwp is fixing?
BTC, Bordelais, WASCO, Wellness Hospital, Property sold at PMA, taxi system, Water to remote areas, ghetto in Castries area, unemployment, all-inclusive hotels where little or no money is spent on the Island, drugs coming from Venezuela,underpaid school teachers...etc..etc...and not to mention the 45 million.
What has uwp fixed in the things you have mentions? You really boldface.
Some Anonymous said that this is what the current administration is "fixing:" -
"BTC, Bordelais, WASCO, Wellness Hospital, Property sold at PMA, taxi system, Water to remote areas, ghetto in Castries area, unemployment, all-inclusive hotels where little or no money is spent on the Island, drugs coming from Venezuela,underpaid school teachers...etc..etc...and not to mention the 45 million."
I'd love to know how the current administration has "fixed" or is fixing any of these matters.
This government needs to get its head out of its bottom and see the reality of the situation. Soaring food prices, high unemployment, disgraceful wages, that's if you get paid for your work as I know so many people do a good job then are owed money for that labour by unscrupulous people. There is a wealth of talent on these shores yet this government is happy to pay foreign labour 10 times more than a local person, tax free, then the money leaves the island.St. Lucia is a disgrace in comparison to to other Caribbean islands in that there is corruption, injustice and discrimination on a wide scale.
Deflection is what this is all about. No one is man enough to admit that Kenny messed up and King don't know who to fix things.
What some of us are hoping for is that the one who messed up is going to come back and fix what he messed up.
Ah St Lucia, I am about tired of bold face stands.
Kenny messed up, Kenny messed up, so what? Can you remember any government in the history of St Lucia who did not make mistakes? Will there ever be government in St Lucia who will not make mistakes? Do you know that running a country is not an easy task and people it does not matter who, will always make a bobo sometime. Kenny has a right as a human being to make mistakes, as we all do. It is a good thing the people of St Lucia is not blind, they can see Kenny works overshadows his mistakes. Kenny messed up but this uwp government instead of trying to fix the mess they are compounding the mess. The uwp have messed up in the past and we re elected them, so what is wrong in re electing SLP. SLP was 100% better than what we have now, so there is nothing wrong in bring them back. There is NO government in the history of St Lucia who have done so much work in the country in 9 years. Prove me wrong.
although I rarely comment on political matters.Might it not be worthwhile to consider the following in the light of the economic situation
(a)As writers in the paper admit Prime Minister King inherited an island in bad economic shape
(b)the world economic downturn is the latest ina series of economic crises over the years starting somewhere in the late 18 hundreds and early 19 hundreds.Accordingly this LATEST CRISIS IS INTENTIONAL,intended to do specifically what it is doing,destroying small states by forcing them into debt.Slavery in more subtle form.
(c)Five years is no time to attempt to fix an economy especially when the Minister of Finance is facing such strong economic negative forces.
(d) the actual impatience of St.Lucians to weigh carefully the situation adds to the pressure on the PM.
(e)Changing a government is not the solution to economic difficulties.Addressing the problem requires a profound CHANGE IN THINKING of the entire population.
Reliance on some foreign power or powers to bail St.Lucia out of economic crises is not the fundamental role of ANY foreign power.Remember that the united states started as a backword nation.Whether we agree or disagree as to the METHODS that the u.s applied and applies to move into super power satus,one fact is clear:THEY BANDED THEIR BELLIES AND GOT TO WORK.It paid off in the long run.
We need to find a way to sever our dependence on foreign powers and economies,and becoming selfreliant and castigating King is not the way to start.
(f) Chastenet's jab at King regarding the economy may be a long range move to checkmate King in some future election so that He may become King himself.
(G)Lest I be understood,my statements here do not reflect any political position or favouritism for any party or foreign power.
Well said. From here on I will only respond or make remarks to comments that make sense.
Other intelligent contributors in here should do the same. This thing about that party better than this party only closes the door to any constructive exchange. I am sure Zeigy and S-UK agrees.
You are right, we are in very tough economics times, so we need people who at least have brains and can think to take us through these times. King and most of the men around him, do not have the mental capacity to take us anywhere. We cannot make excuses that King inherited anything, they promised they would fix it, instead what did they did and continue to do, is to create scandals after scandals, will that fix anything in St Lucia?. What new policies has King and company implemented in three years in office. At lease we could give them a chance, if we see them at lease trying. Impatience and adding pressure on the PM is part of the job, so what you talking about, because he must account to the public. This present government is hiding the situation of the country from the people, hoping it will go away and people will not notice. hence the reason why Chastanet had to speak the truth, he was not taking any jab at the PM as you said, the people deserve to know the truth. You said reliance on foreign power is wrong but that is exact what this government is doing, you swear Chou is the president of St Lucia, because EVERYTHING that is to be done in the country , you would hear the ministers saying, "we will ask Chou." YOU have a right to support who you want, so please do not make any excuses that you do not favour any party. I certainly favour the better of the two parties, i should not have any shame to say that. We ALL favour a party.
Do not try that, about closing doors on constructive exchanges. We have TWO political parties in St Lucia and one must better than the other, that is a fact. So i cannot understand what you talking about. Some of us St Lucians just do not want to hear any opposing view.
How comes whenever Kenny is brought into the picture as being incompetent to, we hear loads of loise coming from his lackeys?
Are we to believe that King is the only one responsible for the mess that St Lucia is in right now?
Is Kenny and the SLP ever going to take responsiblity for any of the harm done.
What use is 45 million dollars in projects and 45 million dollars given away in cover up?
Are we to believe that King alone did all of that damage to the country?
Who ever King was responsible for all the mess we are in today, stop the name calling and get your head straight. We all know two wrongs do not make a right, but all we keep on hearing is about the $45 million as if that was all the uwp needed to ever perform in St Lucia. What about the $50 million debt left by the uwp in the SLBGA , what was that money used for? which kenny had to clear with our tax dollars, and there are many,many others examples. The fact is ALL government makes mistakes, but there must also be achievements. I want you to name the achievement of this government from the three budgets they have presented to us, but please do not mention any of te project started by the SLP. King is to tired to address the nation on the economy and St Jude but he and his gang is not to tired to be in Dennery celebrating. What are they celebrating, we do not know. Is this the right to be celebrating, people are losing their jobs black is white? All they will do in Dennery is bash the opposition, because there is nothing to celebrate. What new policy has this government come up with in three years? King is being paid by us, so it is our right to ask questions of him and hold him accountable.
Kenny's philosophy was to build huge things like North Korea does and forget about the little ones. I'm surprised he didn't build a statue of himself. He's also brainwashed some of you and that is why you can see no wrong with him.
BS! And Kenny was not being paid by us? Why do you take offense to us asking him to account for the 45million dollars?
Yes, two wrongs don't make a right but a 2nd time to make another wrong is a big risk to take.
If we can ask King to account, we have the right to ask the man who wants to replace King to give an account for the past.
OPen your eyes, your red eye need to be washed.

I definitely agree.
Boy, boy, boy, St. Lucians, St Lucians, St Lucians,
let us say things that make some sense, listen to that, Kenny only build huge things and forget the little one. After you wrote that did you read it? I believe you did not, because if you did, you would seen that this does not make sense. Please tell me what did Kenny built that was to big, and is not needed in St Lucia? I want you to tell us all St Lucians, what did Kenny built that was for himself and not for the little ones? Nobody ever said Kenny never did any wrong, there is NO government in this world that is perfect, they ALL makes MISTAKES. As long as their good works overshadow
their mistakes, we can take a chance with them. Here in St Lucia we have a government who we are paying for three years, they began making mistakes from day one up to now. I have asked that question a million times, no one have answered. Can anyone itemize the achievements of this government for the past three years we are paying them. I wish this government was building the BIG thins we need in the country, it would be better for us than all the scandals they are creating. I wander what they are celebrating in Dennery?
ZEIGY boy you feeling proud some uwp like yourself praise you, you had to repeat that. Keep it up boy because you love "SEMI LITERATE MINISTERS"
Intellect is what's wrong with the world today. The book-smart ones are disconnected, they have lost the human touch because of their kingsize ego. Eduacation is good only if you can use it to uplift the ones 'supposedly' below you, otherwise education is a dangerous tool in the hands of a fool.
Wisdom is earned through experience because who feels it knows it, hense an educated man is not necessarily a wise man.
Don't knock intellect down becuase this is what the SLP advocates. The only thing that's wrong with this piture is that you support the SLP and you do not have a shrewed of intellect.
Here's some of your own medicine. Don't worry, in the next two years we will mash up Kenny.
Mark my words, this election is the UWPs to lose.
You contradict yourself, an oxymoron me thinks.
I was defending The so called 'SEMI LITERATE MINISTERS' but then I got beaten up by stupidity, how ironic. Again I say, wisdom cannot be taught.
You finally see how you sound. Good that you have finally gotten the drift. Look in the mirror and you are going to see yourself
Here's some of your own medicine again. In the next 2 years UWP is going to mash up Kenny's backside again. Mark my word the next elections is UWPs to lose.
Please tell me why do you think St Lucians will vote for the uwp? Do you believe St Lucians just do not like Kenny, so they will delebrately vote for a non performing government..........
Tell me why St Lucians would vote for a man who blew away 45,000 million dollars and refuse to say he is sorry. Do you really believe that St Lucians love Kenny so much that they will put him there without questioning his past?
Don't worry. In two years time we go make Kenny look like a little boy again. The SLP have two more years to find another leader because we are going to leave them with no other choice.
Dude you were picking on the wrong anonymous, I was defending UWP so I don't see what you're getting at, too many anonymous I guess, you came late in the game. I am not the Mad Fowl.

My response:
My comments are being taken out of context my exact comment on the 'Who will bell this cat article?' over on the Star website was:
"I’d rather vote for a party of semi-literates who are at least trying to do a good job than a party who’s leader stifles all the excellent leadership talent they have. It’s a shame. St. Lucia cannot afford to have its few precious leaders from being discouraged to shine of their own merit because of one man’s selfish ambition to carve a St. Lucia in his image."
Full stop. I went on to rephrase my comment which has yet to be approved since the comments take 24 hours or the entire weekend before they are reviewed. I elaborated by saying:
"Okay, my comments are being taken out of context so let me rephrase them.
"Kenny Anthony is a dictator, and is stifling the leadership talent in his party. Would you rather a dictator who gives you know [sic] say in how the country should be run, or people who although somewhat inexperienced improve their administration of the country day by day? I’m slowly getting faith that the UWP administration has what it takes to get St. Lucia to its development goals.
"They’re not there yet though."
End of comment.
You can't tell me in 1997 Kenny Anthony promoted his new labour party as UWI trained graduates only to end up firing anybody who disagreed with him. If Kenny had listened to his colleagues a bit more instead of think his ideas alone could run the country then we wouldn't ended up with the massive gaffs he made during his administration.
Absolute power corrupts.
Right on spot, Zeigy!
All you so called uwpeeeees, instead of trying to bash Kenny, who has proven to be better than all the uwp put together. You should educate the public of the achievements of the government and the works they are doing to improve the lives of us St Lucians.
All you so called SLPs. Instead of bashing King, you all should try to clean up your party first before opening your mouths to spew magiee.
You all leave the country with a heavy tag of 45 million dollars in debt and you all have the heart to speak?
What Kenny you talking about? The only thing he can count is catsue et deux sue. Put some big box in front of him and his brain cell suddenly goes heywire. He can't tell the differnce between two zeros behind a price tag of 45 farless 6 zeros behind that 45.
Don't worry we have two years again to make him look like a little boy. You so called SLPs don't have a choice. When we finish with Kenny this time you all are going to have no choice but to find a new leader.
Chewps!
LMAO.......
LOL
How you all believe you fooling? i live in St lucia all my life and i have been following the affairs for a long time. All i hear now is Kenny left the country with $45 million debt when we all know, that it was a hotel he was trying bring in the country to create employment for the people and the investment went bad. Which political party in St Lucia who have wasted more of St Lucia THAN THE UWP, i will mention a few i can remember
(1) U.N. funds scandal.
(2) Fostin funds scandals M.C. & W
(3) Every year millions not accounted from MC&W (4) $50 million debt left in the SLBGA kenny had to clear. etc, etc,etc
That is some i could remember for now, who can remember more, add to the list. Now let us see some of the waste this government has created so far.
(1) Paying rent for king, when we are already providing him with a PM resident.
(2) Paving Convay road which was in good condition.
(3) Buying the useless building they have so much more money to spend on before they can ever use it.
(4) Excess traveling by minsters.
(5) Wasted $3 million on an enquire to investigate what we all had know already.
(6) Making ever candidate who lost a minister, create the biggest government in history, with very little results from them. eg we have two ministers in the education ministry.
(7) Paying Hepples a big tax free salary, when a local could have done the job.
(8) Millions disappeared from the ministry of tourism under Chastanet watch.
(9) Many failed projects by Chastanet.
(10) No accountability the the Union to Babonneau road.
(12) No accountability for the Marigot housing project.
(13) No accountability for the East coast road.
(14) Having to waste time and money investigating and taking ministers who broke the law to court, where government have to appeal etc.
(15) minister sue his own government.
Etc, etc,etc, etc, that is all i could remember for now, but i am sure there is more, somebody help me.
Now we end up with a government after three years in office, who have taken the country a full circle backwards, with very little happening in the country. All they do is to create scandals after scandals and travel the world, and complain about the last administration. So let us see who have wasted more of the country moneys.
Anonymous posting listing the UWP scandals should be emphasized!!
I WILL MAINTAIN that UWPee yellow tadpoles can jump on ALL blogs painting Kenny as a spender and that will not make this present government look good!
All I think those yellow tadpoles should do, is provide St. Lucians with is a list of this government's achievements and then we can have an un-bias comparison...it can be policy changes, anything!!!
Also, while they at it....ask Minister Joseph a list of the direct contract awards and the amount they cost; pre-bid amount so we can know if there are any cost overuns. He must have had a cost in mind for the road projects.
St. Lucia over the world watch the Minister like a drunk fowl....badly pronouncing his words....smiling like some drunk meerkat(http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/meerkat/meerkat.html ) ....speaking about cost overruns!
Does he think we are so stupid when he said there will be no cost overuns on TV last night?
What is the initial projected/pre-bid cost and what was the cost at the end...yellow tadpoles...please tell us!!!
Then and only then can we compare performances.
45 million price tag around Kenny's neck is all he getting for christmas.
You red fowls can shut all you won't buy you can't stop kenny from meeting his fate.
Break News:
Sources close to the SLP say that Kenny to give up leadership by year end.
Wow!
If he loves the SLP and St.Lucia then that's what he should do because he is wounded and a huge distraction to doing the Country's business.
you write- he is wounded and a huge distraction to doing the Country's business.
___________________________________
I love my party but these are my exact sentiments. As long as Kenny remains at the head of the party, we are in deep trouble.
Day in and Day out, all these Kenny this and Kenny that is sucking the life out of me.
But who will replace him? If labour wants my vote I want to see a leader who will not make his party afraid to speak against him.
Of course I expect order to prevail at the end of the day and not the, shall we say, "spirited debate" Sarah Flood gave when she was shouting "LIARS! LIARS!" before Kenny Anthony fired her.
And no more nonsense about collective responsibility. The MP's of the lower house are there to debate and form the policies that will see the country move forward regardless of yellow or red shirt.
If the parties need to find some way to differentiate themselves for purposes of elections then they shall be judged by their individual works and ideas in moving the country forward.
There needs to be cooperation and not division in the house of assembly. Can't there be ministers in the respective portfolios across party lines?
Bipartisanship is nowhere more important than in our small nation where, without cooperation, we would perish. I see it on a regular basis: family helping family. Relatives go overseas and send remittances home to help out family. We leave our parents home when we get big enough and go live with a relative to be closer to our place of work or other reason.
People just need to agree to disagree because there are great leaders on both sides and splitting the debate along party lines only reduces the pool of leadership for the country by 50%.
So, you think UWP scandals should be emphasized? That quite a long list you have there. Fortunately SLP's list can all be summarised into one short list.
1) Big spending on big buildings that costs more money to renovate.
2) Big spending on big projects that go awry and leave a big loan to pay off.
3) Leaders with big egos who make there other party members too afraid to speak against him.
Now I can summarise UWP's achievements just as easily:
1) The fact that we have an economic miracle like Taiwan as an ally developing our agriculture and IT industry is enough to erase all the waste and expenditure you claim the UWP is doing. We don't need ostentatious displays to see our economy moving forward. The subtlety of Taiwan's approach will pay dividends in the long run when we develop our agriculture and IT industry to such a level that it simultaneous reduces our dependence on tourism whiles reducing the crime rate by putting our young people to work and educating them which naturally comes with increased savviness of computer and internet use.
ZEIGY, yow that is a long that is all you can find against Kenny? May scay that is a very long list of achievements of the government in three years. So without the Taiwanese, where are the work of the ministers we are paying our hard earn tax dollars? What have they done from the three budgets they presented to us? ZEIGY we all know you are mentally insane. Continuing uwp Scandals .
# (15) A post was created for Sarah Flood in New York, she and her family is supported in New York on our hard earned tax dollars. And the uwp is crying there is no money to do work in country.
# (16) We all see them playing yellow Santa distributing gifts to their supporters one on one, and they crying Kenny left the country dry. Who they believe they are fooling? Uwp must understand that St Lucians do not want hand outs, they need employment.
To the comment before that insane Zeigy, you are very right you all uwpeeees are in deep trouble as long as Kenny is in trouble. We all know that........
u idiots are missing the point. kenny anthony is the bush of the US. put the country in debt and this present administration has to clean up the mess. my ticket is secure for the next election. plis krois!!!!!
Where Marcus ?
Saying Kenny resigning by Christmas just a ploy by SLPs or Kenny to test the ground and see how people react.
Even if Kenny resign he just doing a David Thompson because he knows he has to get out of the hot seat for awhile before he try to come back again.
I believe it when I see it.
How can an illiterate PM clean any mess, when his party is in a mess and they are just holding on because they want gain a salary. When you come to St Lucia and you will see the mess kenny cleaned at Golden Hope by building a new mental hospital. You will see how Kenny cleaned the mess of the old prison, by building a brand new prison. You will see how Kenny cleaned the mess of the old police stations by building many brand new stations. Kenny cleaned the mess of the old fire stations left by the uwp and build many new ones. kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp where our children could not get a school place, by building many new schools.. Kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp with sport facilities, by building two brand new stadia. Kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp with garbage by building a brand new garbage disposal site in Deglos. Kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp , in terms of offices space, by building two new office blocks. kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp in terms of roads, by building a four lane highway in the north and one in the south. Kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp in the SLBGA, by clearing the $50 million they left. etc,etc,etc. I am tired i will tell you the rest later. Now tell me some of the mess your semi literate King can clean or has cleaned.
I meant $50 million debt the uwp in the SLBGA. Kenny had to clear.
You're clucking away too fast, you're starting to make mistakes now, you see.
That is how fast kenny cleaned up the mess and developed the country, i cannot even kept up. So when that person buy their ticket, come to St lucia and see for themselves, and they ask what has this incompetent uwp government has done or is doing for our tax dollars we are paying them. He or she must see that Kenny is better than King by far.
I am still waiting to hear which mess is King cleaning in St Lucia. king himself is a mess, so how can a mess clean a mess?
Kenny cleaned the mess left by the uwp

What mess did he clean. 45 million price tag is a lot of mess to leave behind.
Bold face. Kenny is a dirty man. Any man who claim to come in to clean a mess and left more pop on the floor before he leaves is a malprop.
How would you call the $50 million debt in the SLBGA by your uwp government, when millions was coming every week from the banana industry? How did this happened? Did you read the sixth comment before yours, to see SOME of the mess left by your uwp which kenny had to clean up. Please tell me which mess King can ever clean in St Lucia, or he and his gang is just there to receive a salary.
Even I (one of his more consistent critics) have been surprised at the animosity on the ground to Dr. Kenny Anthony.
The reason is that in spite of his gross incompetence he does all the things, says all the right high sounding sound bites that are required from a political perspective.
Unfortunately his performance was atrocious. If you logically look at Dr. Anthony's record any right thinkimg person would be appalled.
He came into power on a massive surge of goodwill on the part of the people then with arrogance, cronyism and incompetence dissapated all of this goodwill within a few years.
He poisoned the political atmosphere and created a Jamaica like hatred between parties.
He did NOTHING about crime. In fact it got worst under his tenure.Over 200 St. Lucians were killed under his and Calixte George's watch.
He brought vindictiveness into politics by his treatment of Sarah, Rick and George and Sir JC.
He was an abysmal financial manager. I estimate that at least $500 million was wasted by him while much of other Govt expenditure was underutilized. None of his major projects except a few seemed to bear any fruit. $100s of millions on Agriculture but production fell by at least 30% in all categories not just bananas.
Tourism was on its knees and was saved by the spectacular surge in wealth creation and cheap money in the American economy. (Which the King Administration does not have the advantage of ).
His foreign policy was a selfish bowing down to one party states and since the UWP has been in power he has unilaterally persued his own foreign policy as it relates to China/Taiwan. This shows no respect for governance and teaches our children rudeness and incivility.
Sports was a joke under his leadership.
And I can go on and on as to his managerial incompetence.
It appears that the people know this also and the SLP is saddled with failure as long as he is the Political Leader. And imagine I have not even mentioned Rochamel !
I am tempted to tear down your article and show you where you are a lair in all your so called long trash. But i will just laugh at you and let your see yourself as a big dishonest LIAR, who think you could fool us St Lucians. We know better than that, kenny provided a secondary school place for each and everyone of us. Most of us are more qualified academically than your PM King.
So why don't you run for office and stop bitching?
So you prefer me more than yourself? If king could be PM of St Lucia, then anyone can run. If Guy Joseph who cannot speak english can run, anyone can. Anything goes in St Lucia.
So why don't you run?
We will run uwp OUT.......
I wish you all the luck cuz you're gonna need it.
Nobody need any luck with your foolishness, imagine a government is in office, and they are supprised to see a few thousand people at their rally. They would be lucky if they win the two Micoud seats in the next election.
