What good move? How can changing the name of STEP to HOPE and just building footpaths and drains, which is the biggest government project in St Lucia a good move?
i think the hpoe project is good for st.lucia by taking of gang persons and giving them a job they good at before the slp was in prower throwing money ereyway insten of building the step project
Micah, can't say I am surprised with your thesis. These are hard times all round and if the Taiwanese are paying for a story to make the Government look good I too would take the money. But becareful, that kind of money have a downside. It will haunt you for the rest of your life
I am not saying that HOPE is not good, How can any say that? My point is, where is the vision and the new policies of this government we voted for has? HOPE is the same STEP which the SLP implemented just with a few changes. They criticized STEP just to gain power, now they have nothing new to offer. That is the problem i have.
this hope project is doing a "Little" good...in that it trains people...however i see it as a ploy by the government to lower unemplyment rates etc and to show that they're doing some good for the people, when in actuallity people only get work for one month.....and the pay isnt that great..but i gues a short-temporary job is better than nothing.....they need to think of better ways to help people..i still cant believe the agricultural industry is in this state...everyone's got a "business" mentality....etc no one wants to work under bananas and because of that the price of foods rising etc also i feel that the P.M needs to think of ways to get the public to trust the police, rather than making statements like "being firm on crime" while its true i also feel that other projects etc can be put in place.

You alone running your mouth all over the place.

Instead of saying people running their mouth, make a sense able contribution yourself or show the person where they are not speaking the truth.
Chicken Little, is that you again?
