Nice article. But please have the courage to stand up for the CCJ. Lead (write)by example.
Kenny changed the SLP constitution so that he could be 'leader for life,' he, like Chandelle Molle, is a snake just waiting to deceive the people...AGAIN. The constitution stands, otherwise there will be chaos.
The politicians who came and were interested in really doing a good job for the people of St. Lucia have been:
John Compton
Sarah Flood Beaubrun
Mario Michel
Romanus Lansiquot
Bosquet from Babanneau
Jon Odlum
I guess everyone missed Josie's point about the role of the media. Do they have the courage to be independent ?
@ 5:35
When the Voice's owner is a defender of the status quo? When Learie Carasco has unequivocally stated that he has the right to change his mind any time? Why? In order to sell newspaper editions? Such a principled position suggests that it is better not to open Pandora's Box.
Leave the damn constitution alone!
A judge has already told us, in a verdict on the inquiry on sale of Crown Lands through making use of insider information, that the majority of Saint Lucians do not have a moral compass.
Investigative journalists - the likes of Woodard, Bernstein, and Amanpour - do not exist on this rock. For purely financial reasons, media managers hire young, untrained high-schoolers who seem intimidated by messianic politicians and technical jargon. (Noticed how Tim's eyes glazed over in his interview with the PS in the Finance Ministry?)
They are branded reporters by virtue of their mics, cameras and voice recorders - not their inquiring minds. Many suffer grammar and syntax afflictions, and can barely write a proper sentence.
From the looks of things, it is a disrespected profession that reeks of mediocrity. Then again, what to expect from newsrooms manned by two or three underpaid, time-pressed reporters? Miracles?
Instead of engaging in investigative journalism, which is more time-consuming, they do the easier he-said-she-said. Point, counter-point. Often, this leads us nowhere as the truth becomes relative.
I could not have expressed it any better. A damn shame to see what passes here as journalism. Sadly these people do not even read to try to improve on their "skills".
We cannot afford anything like the CCJ for St. Lucia.
Already we see the NASTINESS that passes for GOVERNMENT and JUSTICE.
It looks like we will be seeing more BLOODY COUPS in the Region with that Caribbean Court of Justice.
If the CCJ is forced or is being attempted to be forced upon us; then we will be forced to DEFEND OURSELVES; in the best way we can.
Blogger at March 10 at 4.21AM. Really?
Sarah Flood? Really? Ha-Ha-Hee.
Mario, Romanus, Jon ? Really?
He-Ha-Ha
Brothers and Sisters,
Listen. The problem our limited imagination! The CCJ is a small step in helping us think for ourselves. If you keep depending on other to think our what justice mean, you will never be able to imagine it for yourself. Just no need for investigative journalism, because we have not developed 'curious minds". Simple! Time to end small mindedness
I wish that your BIG MIND would place you before a INDIAN justice from TNT, where in one court one said OPENLY, that he could not condemn another INDIAN, because that person belongs to his RACE.
I love my small mind. Compared to those with HUGE minds, it perceives things that matter rather much more sharply.
