HELLO GRENADA

Retrenchment at hand in Gravel and Concrete In a recent interview on GIS, Minister Steele tried to dance on sand but did not know that he let the cat out of the bag. The foreign minister found himself on unfamiliar grounds, trying to dabble into the affairs of Gravel and Concrete. The NNP knee jerk reaction to the issue of sand mining by granting “limited “ sand mining rights is another one of their feeble attempts to say that they have “delivered”. NDC reduced the VAT on certain items of Construction materials from 15 % to 7.5%. They recently made a big hurrah when it was reduced to 5%.

Where are the investors?   The NNP and Keith Mitchell is lieing  to the Grenadian people. The only visible sign of hope is the CCC project and that will only employ 200-300 persons. Not a 1000 as was said by Dr. Keith and the NNP.  In the midst for a...

St. George –  According to Labour Representative in the Senate, Ray Roberts, dozens of very ordinary workers c annot celebrate the new Government's one hundred days in office. Addressing a meeting of the Upper House, Senator Roberts read excerpts from dismissal letters signed by Permanent Secretaries and sent to more than 50 workers making less than one thousand dollars per month, informing them that their services have been terminated. However, Senator Roberts congratulated the Government backbenchers who he said, can all celebrate because they are all receiving Ministers salaries of more than $6,000.00 although they didn't have ministerial responsibility in our crisis economy. Senator Roberts said that when there is a change of Government, we expect the Chief of Staff and the 'big boys' to exit their jobs - that is accepted.   H owever, what the Government is now demonstrating, according to the Labour Representative, is the termination of the employment of some of...
