The foundation can do more for Soufriere, give Her the pride and dignity that She deserve for being the first Capital of Ste. Lucie.

Helen and Soufriere has lost her pride by “People of Substance” a favourite quote of the SDF executive, radio adv. Gone a the days when men and women of the Land could earn there way, pay there way and not be dependent on hand-outs,,( Haiti is Terrible-the Islands, we’re not far behind, there is deep and sheltered poverty in this Land,) by operatives in concealing outfits. The inability of systematic development and do as we go is a trade mark of underdevelopment and square pegs in round holes.

Actually, when a government of the people cannot provide and distribute basic essential services at municipal level -(town, and village council )such as sidewalk repairs, footpaths, repairs to roads and bridges...the list goes on. Again, these are signs of a degrading society, and an economy in decline when we cannot provide basic essentials for ourselves, and have to rely holey and solely on foreign aid and charity.

We are in trouble when IFM is at the financial table, that speaks of financial management and accountability; we are a further joker in the pack when Tom Chow a diplomat of Taiwan is the Minister of Finance. All projects on the Island go through him, as a St.Lucian I am ashamed and embarrassed. (Of course we have to pay back with our vote at the UN, nothing is free)

We’re in deep trouble with deficit economy modules masked by Tourism/development and an underground economy as the major base of our economy, accompanied by looters of our heritage, selling out the land of our birth for a green back $$$$$ and flaunt it in the faces of the poor, uneducated, and fragile in the name of progress. While the few and fortunate demean us by high flying frequent flyers, consumers of speed boat trips as regular transportation, monopoly business modules, insiders opportunity of secrecy and deception.

I can only hope with the upcoming budget Tom Chow, the real Minister of Finance will continue with election projects. It will be the most interesting and examine document, hope were not disappointed as usual. May god aid us in this Holy Week?
