If the way he managed rochamel and the country is any indication of how he is going to manage, then all fall down.

Oh really? Positive developments in the USA and Europe; the sub-region's main trading partners; spells hope for the sub-region". Unquote.

Interesting. Does this man really think at all. Does he reflect on what he says to the various fora?

The idiot that he is; he obviously does not even quite recall his actions or his statements. Or is it that the liar never remembers his lies.

How then can he explain his bombastic behaviour as a leader of a country whose main trading partners he has chosen on his own; without any consultation with the people and/or their collective parliamentary representatives to become a member of ALBA which is diametrically opposed to the foreign policies of these very main trading partners.

And then to add insult to injury, he attempts to snob the long-standing friend of St. Lucia and the people of St. Lucia, the United States Of America. I say attempt; because he has now only hurt the people and the country. As we are now witnessing the debacle with the cancellation of training to our police officers by the US. on account of a clearly desperate loser; and failed leader in the person of kenny anthony' with his false arrogance; and inferiority complexes.

What a dumb headline.
This is a rotational post and if Bram Bram was PM of St Lucia he would now be 'taking over'.
The point is Kenny and Stephenson King have rotated into this post previously and it has not made one iota of difference for the development of St Lucia and the OECS.

Could Micah not have give an objective assessment based on that? Could he not have written about the repeated use of empty, opaque sound bites and obvious statements that are never backed up by performance?

Instead he repeats those vague never implemented words as if it is the 2nd coming of Christ.

That is what makes Rick Wayne such a giant among these pygmy journalists. He actually makes objective assessments of words and actions and does not all the time just spew out these trite repetitive statements that mean nothing.

Indeed. I expected Micah not to have taken the easy way out and do just a little comparison of what was achieved last time, and what should be the agenda today. Get and organize your own newspaper clippings.

Differentiate Micah! Differentiate yourself.

Taking a broad view of emerging developments, the excursion into ALBA is misguided. The decision runs counter to our general trading and economic interest.

The broad grouping does not present a viable and sustainable market for anything that we produce. We could have entered the Petro Caribe questionable relationship without ALBA, which has made our debt burden even less manageable in the long run.

We should opted for bilateral relations, say, with the best performing economy in the grouping, namely, Brazil. As one of major constituents of the BRIC countries and emerging economies, even that economy is already suffering from a shift in economic fortunes because of energy developments in North America. India another significant member of BRIC group has seen its economy is taking a beating lately! A flight of investment capital.

With better educated personnel in our embassies and the like, the current administration should have been made aware of the potential further decline of Latin America, as investors keep moving back their investment capital back to the US to capture by positioning themselves for the forecast of an increase in interest rates there. The much-expected tapering of the QE by the Federal Reserve will signal that shift.

Already, offshoring is on the wane, as the unit cost of production of goods and services is on a downward trend in the US. Energy costs and the discovery and recovery of huge amounts of natural gas will fuel more of this change.

There is hope for and in our housing market. But the PM and Pip must do a much better job of closely monitoring (sitting on) the metrics and other performance indicators (data) to take immediate steps to put and keep the economy back on track more or less, on a quarterly basis. The current debt situation warrants this.

Our current inordinate focus on tourism-related airlift is misplaced. Like the other OECS economies, the fundamental requirement is to extract value (multiple revenue streams) from existing tourist traffic and visitors. This points to the need for necessary and continuous discussions and agreements to enhance and deepen forward and backward linkages or links with local goods and service providers. Saint Lucia needs to develop and maintain a more inclusive value and supply chain in tourism.

To monitor the achievement of the desired results, some studies will have to be conducted periodically, but on an on-going basis. The economic and finance support groups within our tourism and finance ministries require training at the middle and lower management levels. Forget the word "administrative."

As the man who made Japan the #1 economy in the world some time ago said, "If it is measured, it can be improved".

Everyime we read this kind of nonsense we can only say that politicians like Kenny and Pierre ans Emma only get there because we have no choice and the people are ignorant.

St Kitts is bankrupt . Grenada is bankrupt. St Lucia is bankrupt and ALBA bound. Dominica is bankrupt. Antigua is bankrupt.
All have stratospheric unemployment with the youth at least over 40%.

Internal security is abysmal.
Every year we read the same garbage as these moochers live off the voters and spend 10s of millions annually on travelling and diplomatic missions with zilch to show for that.

Why not comment on that Micah instead of repeating their press releases?

These actors are bankrupt of ideas too. Products of UWI cannot think out of the box. No creativity. No innovation.

Products with just rote learning skills are ill-suited for dealing
with uncertainty and the future. Worse yet are those with no abstract thinking skills related to higher mathematics.

That is the OECS' main challenge today. "Houston, we have systemic failure."

It is our failed, unattended-to, and legacy education system that is haunting us, plaguing us and biting us in the rear.

Sad. But the political aspirants are equally vacuous and bereft of any useful ideas either. See how they try extremely hard to mask their emptiness, by instigating political unrest with fracas and incidents like on the bridge in Soufriere?
