Peter David and Joe Gilbert

                    NNP Executive Gives Green light to Peter David and Joe Gilbert

For NNP insiders, this is stale news, for us the people, it is as fresh as it gets. Ever since that fateful day that Mr. Peter David counted himself into the NNP house in Paraclete, the old guard has been uneasy with the Prime Minister’s extramarital affair with the Pedro group.

Dr Mitchell by his own words slotted in Mr David at the leadership level of the party. His description of the role that Pedro will play sits firmly in the lap of the current General Secretary of the NNP, Mr Roland Bhola. Dissident NNP insiders are genuinely afraid of this group who came into the party as a bloc and not as individuals searching for a political home after they were expelled in 2012 from the NDC.

Dr Mitchell made a spirited plea in defence of a proposed invitation of David and Gilbert to take part in executive meetings.  He went further to indicate that members should not be fearful of persons who are perceived to have a hidden agenda.

The internal grumblings were addressed by Dr. Mitchell who did not consult the “old guard” on the issue of the membership of the Pedro group. The Prime Minister was clearly feeling the heat and conceded that some agreed process must be developed. Mr. Bhola noted that politics is a game so they must be able to manage the situation.

The motion was passed by the Executive and every man jack agreed. To do otherwise is to attract the wrath of the Chief as he is the one who “giveth and taketh”.

In the General Council last Sunday in Sauteurs, he dropped strong hints that sitting members of Parliament must earn their right o be on the NNP ticket come 2018. The game continues and maybe Mr. Bhola will most likely be the first casualty. Eh Bhola, let’s see if you can play the game

OPEN LETTER TO MR HAMLET MARK.

Open Letter To Mr Hamlet Mark ‘Too little too late, your pen is stalling’ Dear sir I have been following your blog Notes From All Around and Caribupdate News Service for long time. I think that you are a very skilful writer who has a very good idea of the political happenings in Grenada, but lately I have realized that your poetic pen is stalling. Your blog and news agency has gone into semi-hibernation. I must repeat that your blogs were well written and they had a very magnetic effect on thousands of readers. As a result of this Notes From All Around and Caribupdate News became the talk of the town. People listen to your tunes religiously. You became the Grenadian ‘Pied Piper’. During that time the National Democratic Congress was in office. You spared no effort in crafting half truths, fairy tales and twists all in an effort to create mistrust in the masses and chaos in government and by extension the nation. You continuously speared the NDC heart with you...

The Prime Minister of Chaos

Image
When the NNP published a poster titled ”Jonah  is back” just before the 2013 elections campaign, even Dr. Mitchell himself never catered for 15- nil. Contrast that with 1999 when the NNP bellowed “not a damn seat for them” egged on by Joan Webley.  From then on the door to chaos was flung wide open. Dr. Mitchell was hard pressed to “allocate” Tobias Clement, Yolande Bain- Horsford and Clifton Paul. True to form, the Prime Minister broke all protocol and instructed that all MPs must get ministerial salaries. I guess that back bench is good for England but not for Grenada. The traditional NNP front bench came back in full force. Bowen, Bhola, Modeste – Curwen and Nimrod. The new kids on the block were given much of the limelight to the annoyance of the traditionals. The emergence of Delma Thomas as a significant minister left the nation shaking his head at what appeared to be cheap theatre. Many citizens could only muster a laugh when in fact tears for Grenada would have be...

VICTIMIZATION AT ITS BEST

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...
