What a lot of crap! After nearly 2 years of ignoring the cries and complaints of Saint Lucians you're now telling us you've been looking at the situation for some time and basically did nothing about it. First you say a preliminary study was done, then a comprehensive study which has produced a preliminary report. Why not a comprehensive report? No studies were necessary to tell you that this office has been a disgrace and that the Adjudicator's office should be strengthened. And then of course, Fletcher could not resist throwing a dart at the last Government. I say fix it and fix it FAST. And spare us the politics.
Two highly educated guys,coming across as the Tom and Jerry of bureaucracy!.The Media has also dropped the ball on this issue big-time!.. Rick, get off the salacious stuff for awhile, to "bring the real truth to light" on this matter. The PEOPLE needs help!!
Saint Lucians have no sense of objectivity at all, at all, at all. Once it is their own party, the matter is thrown under the carpet. They will not talk about it. If it is the other party they will squawk. There is no such thing as national interest. What an island of blasted and confounded hypocrites!
1. The entire public service needs a permanent standing Organization and Management Unit (a la United Nations recommendations) under the control and auspices of the Minister of Finance, to investigate the management operations of ALL departments of government.
2. That unit would have to be continuously trained with the up-to-date technical skills necessary to: a) streamline operations, b)revamp/modernize procedures, and c) re-organize managerially (the management hierarchy and management structures), of ENTIRE units and sub-units of ministries like the Registry.
3. The FORCE of the recommendations of findings of related studies and investigations would be incorporated into the annual budgetary proposals for the training and retraining of incumbents, with the necessary IT technologies and management technologies (appropriate and new management methods, and techniques).
Sadly, the banana republic (Latin American styled) created during the John Compton years, that we seem so desperately and inextricably married to now, combined with our legacy country bookie ministers and systems, all bolstered by rustic French Catholic priests, are still being honoured. They are honoured, as if we have not yet understood and learned that we must modernize and put one hell of a great distance between where we are today, and our banana cutting management technologies of the four-nail cutlass, the garden fork, the shovel, and the hoe.
The ameliorating the disaster that is the Registry has become the equivalent of a national moral imperative, and represents a clarion call for concerted action and greater ministerial responsibility. This is so, if we as Saint Lucians, are ever going to provide the optimal administrative supportive agency services that are going to endow a national competitive advantage, and grow this economy on a firm sustainable footing.
I am very afraid that La Corbs does not appear to be the kind of person who can be entrusted with anything requiring guts, seriousness or very hard choices. To me, he is the kind of person who would not give one crap whether Good Friday falls on Easter Sunday.

I was just at that place yesterday. My, my my, what a shame that in 2013, this is the best we can do. What a total shame!

Finally somebody cares enough to do something about that mess, they call "The Registry"!
