We have a lawyer for a PM. He is looking a case in law to solve each one of our economic problems. When you are a carpenter and have a hammer as your one and only tool, every problem looks like a nail.

Max your confidence in Pierre is laughable. Don't you know that he is a creature of Kenny? He has no backbone and cannot stand on his own. Why don't you assess the man's history.

@3:25 PM: Max should know that this bloke thinks of his boss, like the Arawaks before him in the history books, that Kenny is the Supreme Being that was foretold would come to save the natives.

Indeed, he and that other bloke came bearing the gift of the premiership, bowing and prostrating themselves while incanting "I'm not worthy".

Where are all the so called doctors or holders of PHD's we have on this island ? Our brains are all good on paper. Their ideas are subjective, nonprgmatic and cannot be applied and made to bear fruit for the table. We need a more scientific approach to solving our problems.

How many of these PhDs have doctorates in Economics or even Business? Even so, if what they are saying cannot be translated into plain English and the decision-makers are lost, confused and clueless regarding even the fundamentals, where will that take us?

We have leader with three law degrees they say, but has yet to win a case in court, and has failed three times to effectively supervise three contracts that lost us millions and millions of dollars.

The law was supposed to be his area of expertise. Do you expect stellar performance in areas that are not in his domain of educational experience like the economy?

Jack of all trades, master of none? Sounds like the present and past PMs, but moreso the former. Borderline basket cases, are these three blind mice.

What if Hunte is one of the key persons who gave Kenny the green light and offered the PM position to him on a platter? Do you think that a change of position will take place because he is suffering now from a serious bout of 'buyer's remorse'?

I am ashamed!! Having voted dr Anthony back in office after seeing the way he kept the king administration in check while in opposition, I must admit that he does a better job as an opposition leader than a prime minister. I was one of those calling and bashing king for not being educated enough to run this country but today I must also admit that he did a better job than dr Anthony is doing. With shame I ask you dr Anthony to please put the needs of the people before yours, consider what the Labour party went through to get here, please I ask you to step down while you still have some dignity. The Labour party is divided now because of you and that's not a good thing, the party is bigger than you always remember that!!

Since we moved away from the simplicity of being a primary-product, no value-added banana producer, then, and up to now, we have NOT found ... just about anyone who understands how to frame a recovery and development plan to lift us out of the quagmire that has deepened in the aftermath of the collapse of the non-value-added export production of banana fruit.

We stubbornly continue to be mesmerized by the simplistic and childlike rhetoric of empty promises just to do better, which is essentially management. This is in contrast to the warranted plan of action to strategically move forward which of course would be based on extraordinary LEADERSHIP behaviour.

Leaders come. Leaders go.

To date, however, we have had only relays of INFERIOR and DEBASED substitutes, wrapped up in the mantle of, and claiming to be leaders. These however, have never convinced any, but the uninformed or uninitiated, of displaying even but a hint or semblance of having, far less commanding, the requisite skills, knowledge and abilities of leadership.

Instead of having gaps regarding leadership skills and skill sets, we have echoing canyons.

Strategic leadership is alien to the nature of ALL the political actors, we have on the stage, and those making their usual political noises both at home and abroad, even as we speak.

While the large sections of the population stress, starve and struggle in varying degrees and type in terms of their welfare, stupidly stubborn and stubbornly stupid, Saint Lucians continuously endure the travails of revolving inferior leadership, retaining the uneviable position of being stuck between a rock and a very hard place.
