The crisis of confidence is beginning to snowball downhill. Better days says the clueless SLP Socialist government. They think that they are smart. But if they are, they are too smart for they own good.
Based on the sum total of the all the financial mistakes that this Minister of Finance has made to date, the holder of this office has outlived any usefulness regarding the development of this country. The only honourable thing left to do is to gracefully and peacefully resign.
There is something even more SINISTER that is becoming the hallmark of recent SLP administrations. This is a cynical disregard and contempt for the principle of the rule of law.
We see this with discussions about Saint Lucia's joining the CCJ. The constitutional provisions are being bypassed.
The next is the usurping of the authority of the Governor General in the secret deal concerning the Grynberg Affair.
MOST DEFINTELY, the SLP is sowing the wind. Saint Lucia is already reaping the whirlwind. Witness the spate of lawlessness among the youth. SLP is leading, not in doing good things, by example.
Honduras, in effect the SLP is saying, here we come.
It time for UWP to take the Government to court on these two matters above. Hoist the government on its own petard.
Agree completely 205. Keep telling the message. The rule of law is sacrosanct.
Errol Barrow, the deceased ex-PM of Barbados described most Caribbean politicians as political bandits.
Our two most recent administrations are populated and replete with such.
These bandits operate from both inside and outside the parties' machineries and from the hierarchical top to the bottom.
In successful societies aside from written laws there are conventions and custom that once upheld also contribute to a community's success.
For example the posts of Speaker of the House and President of the Senate were customerily supposed to be INDEPENDENT of partisan politics with the holders showing a level of political impartiality.
Here in St Lucia this lawless government has holders of these two offices acting like cheap party hacks or conducting their professional businesses in conjunction with the administration and basically acting like good political yard fowls for the SLP.
Democracy only works if a people act decently and with a level of decorum and respect for custom and structure.
This SLP Administration and its bottom feeders are sadly lacking in the tenets of a civilized society.
There are only 2 politicians in the Caribbean since Independence who made a real difference to development in our countries.
SIR JOHN COMPTON
and
OWEN ARTHUR
Owen Arthur a business economist and SALISA former ISER in Barbados laid the foundation for Barbados to rise in per capita income to the level of a developed economy. Not Saint John Compton did ever come close.
Look here;
call a spade a spade; we need this government to be out; and an interim government to be established; until a new general elections are called.
Excuse me; Tom Adams laid the economic foundation which Owen Arthur inherited.
He trained Arthur as Minister for Finance.
John Compton ? a bloody JOKER. A farce. And that's a fact. He did projects which benefited himself; whilst superficially it looked like he was doing things for the people. Don't be fooled.
I fully agree with the first blogger.
the Opposition parties in St. Lucia must come together and take the Minister for Finance to Court on the matters relating to GRENBERG and the CCJ and others where deemed necessary.
And more than that KENNY ANTHONY must be demanded by the general public to RESIGN. If he does not CLOSE THIS COUNTRY DOWN. BOTH THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND PUBLIC SECTOR DOWN YOUR TOOLS.
"And more than that KENNY ANTHONY must be demanded by the general public to RESIGN. If he does not CLOSE THIS COUNTRY DOWN. BOTH THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND PUBLIC SECTOR DOWN YOUR TOOLS."
It's true! But sorry to say it's just a lot of talk and no action. Most Lucians only act when things get really bad and beyond repair and by then it's too late.
All this talking with no action is just giving dem fellas time to fix themselves and leave us with bag.
Kenny and his men will not be suffering any hardship when their show is over; they'll be sitting pretty whilst their citizens are catching their tails.
Without driving one flipping stroke, the first thing Kenny did on becoming PM was to give himself and his ministers ONE BIG FAT PENSION. All they had to do was to talk crap for two consecutive terms at the least, and a BIG FAT PENSION awaits. Now, if that is not a moral hazard and formula for rewarding lousy government performance, I wonder what is.
Heck! Is that not what we are suffering under today? Hooray!
Hooray to our jackass political system, made to order for complete idiots!
Blogger right above is dead right. We need to have the pension rescinded. It should be that one must serve for at least thirty years.
The civil service is at least 28 years.
Or better yet. Let them have the NIS Pension like all the rest of us.
@7:06 AM, and the culprits are laughing at us from behind their tinted windows, and their air-conditioned hermetically-sealed vehicles. Those blasted leaches and parasites remain insulated from the suffering they continue to impose on the man in the street.
Jan Rapier, why don't you join the UWP officially? We need you in our Party girl. I don't trust Chas and the BALDHEAD.
THERESE.
