HELLO GRENADA

To some astute observers, NNP boarded a train back to office in November 2010 when NDC MPs Peter David and Glynis Roberts failed to show up at Governor General’s Residence to take their oath of office. These ministers were reassigned to other ministries as a result of PM Thomas decision to reshuffle his cabinet. They did sign eventually and in the press conference that followed a well regarded NDC stalwart made reference to “our side”. The internal division that was brewing for some time became a full blown public issue. Ugly, sure it was. In hindsight, one can say that it marked the beginning of the end so by nightfall. February 19 th 2013, Jonah rode back to office with all 15 seats. The NNP masses were ecstatic and so were the NDC expellees who were so overcome with hatred and disdain for their “party” that anything but Tillman and Nazim was acceptable. Ten clear days transpired between the swearing in the Prime Minister and the rest of the Cabinet. For those ten days ...

NNP put duct tape on the Press mouth Sir Eric Gairy made the famous statement when the GULP won the 1967 election that he will never be a pauper again. He made that remark after spending five years in near poverty and destitution after he was booted out of power as a result of “  Squander mania ” From there on Sir Eric did what was necessary to make him financially secure, the rest is now history. Enter Dr. Keith Mitchell, Jonah or the Green Gambler (choose your pick) now controls all the seats in the parliament. He intimated to a close ally that he will not make the same mistakes which he made during the period 1995 to 2008. Mistakes Yes, its relations with the Press and the Trade Union movement. The NNP propaganda machinery led by Hamlet mark, has developed a plan to control (muzzle) the press. GIS is now under Titus, God help us. The Voice was transitioned from Leslie Pierre under the watch of Collymore. The green house on the sleeve of the paper speaks volumes and...

Political Leader of the NNP quote from page two of the NNP Manifesto " WHEN MY COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE HURTS, IT PAINS ME GREATLY'. Powerful words but I am wondering if these sympathetic words have been translated into action.  In less than a quarter of the year, a mere three months so many of our hardworking public workers have been dismissed. Is this action reducing the pain of our country and people or is it exacerbating the pain, resulting in more political division and social decay. Quote from the political leader’ THIS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE best of time, BUT IT CERTAINLY DID NOT HAVE TO BE THE ' Worst of Times. For the folks that have lost their jobs as a result of the action of this government is this the BEST or WORST of time for them and their families. Quote ' Grenada's pressing problem of growth, UNEMPLOYMENT and POVERTY arise from a LACK OF LEADERSHIP and GROSS ECONOMIC MISMANAGEMENT. By dismissing workers this leadership is now increasing UNEMPL...

The Crazy "Bold Head cannot change his words  It’s official! Peter said he wanted an end to tribal politics, but his newly-beloved leader (PM Mitchell) is only prepared to pay $40,000 to achieve it! In a manner of speaking, poor Peter gets only forty pieces of ‘green-tarnished’ silver for his beguiled efforts! So the creation of one Grenadian tribe, presumably led by Keete as chief and Peete as shadowy chief; conceived in political intrigue and dreams of a one - party state, cannot be accepted as a serious goal of national development as currently presented. If you run a country for thirteen straight years, and a mere four years later you are posing disunity as a national issue of grave concern, then you are in fact accepting that you contributed big time to Grenada being a divided nation. Although, of course, you do not openly admit to the sorry effects of your deeds and misdeeds. When you are joined by what the original NNP-ites grudgingly call “THE INCLUSION”, on ac...

NNP unveils its first Billion Dollar Budget Under the theme “Restoring Hope, Building the New Economy, and Empowering our People’, The Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. Keith Mitchell presented the 2013 Budget Statement. This Budget comes on the heels of the NNP’s 15-0 win in the recently concluded elections. It comes at a time that the country is in the midst of a prolonged period of economic crisis which will hang over the country well into their medium term. The anemic economy is bedeviled by structural problems which are compounded by low growth and a nagging Debt overhang.    The reality of assuming the reins of government is in sharp contrast to the cushion of opposition benches where they lambasted the NDC administration about every ill under the sun. They were tripping over themselves trying to make us believe that the problem was management and the international economic situation and the debt crisis which they created was of little significance...

In my research I found this, Sometime we forget and make the same mistakes. ST GEORGE‘S, Grenada: Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell has said that revealing who holds Grenada's passport as a result of the now defunct economic citizenship programme is not in the best interest of the country and its national security. Dr Mitchell made these comments while responding to a question posed by an opposition parliamentarian during the last sitting of the Lower House. However during the campaign leading up to last November's general elections the Prime Minister's New National Party in its column called the “NNP Perspective” in the Grenada Informer newspaper had this to say: “Accountability is a key requirement of good governance”. “Accountability cannot be enforced without transparency and the rule of law. The New National Party Administration has never shirked its responsibility to ensure that all Grenadians know about the government’s decisions and actions.” The recent statement ...

It is difficult to comprehend the humiliating situation that our youths have been put through. Last Saturday,April 27th 2013,our youths received the greatest top-down attitude from the IMANI QUEEN. Can you imagine the amount of youths that were filling out forms in open air on the streets of Grenville? It was a 'total mess'.  The IMANI QUEEN claims that she loves young people.She wants to be their champion.She always says that we should invest in them.If that is the case,Why is the youth idol only promoting herself? This NONSENSE in Grenville was only organised so that the NNP can register as much unsuspecting youths as possible into their GREEN DATABASE. It was only a deceiving show because some youths in St.George's started registering one week earlier,and in St.Patrick,one month earlier. I want the IMANI QUEEN to get it through her thick skull that she is not a HOLY GHOST. She should understand that she eats, sleeps and defecates just like all of us. The IMANI Q...
