HELLO GRENADA

Is Political Correctness a case of giving Hope or spreading lies!     CCC work will start by the beginning of July.    Nobody will be victimized, nobody will be sent home   There is a lot of activity on the docks We have a plan to rescue Grenada   We have reduced substantially unpaid claims in the Treasury   Busmen are making 6 and 7 full trips from the country to town We will restructure the National Debt    We will discontinue the Free School Programme only in Private Schools. These utterances all comes on the heels of the Slogan “We will deliver”. This millstone around the neck of the Prime Minister has led him and others to launch a bold faced campaign to “mamaguy” Grenadians. So much has been said about CCC. That project cannot start as the Quarry in Mt Hartman and the Asphalt Plant in Perseverance needs million dollar repairs. Even Humphrey gone quiet as he is waiting to get his back pay from the last contract and ...

NNP Back peddles on Electronic Crimes Bill The NNP led administration withdrew the Electronic Crimes Bill at sitting of the Senate on 10th July 2013. This sudden about face came as a surprise after the House of Representatives passed it unanimously with no amendment to the draft. Any casual observer will notice that with their 15 nil dominance in the House of Representatives, anything that is presented there and passed is a fait accompli. The enthusiastic support for the bill,  expressed by Elvin Nimrod, seem to suggest that this piece of legislation will liberate us all from cyber criminals. What we the people did not understand that Criminal Libel was being reintroduced to our law books through the back door. The opportunistic use of public indignation of the posting of sexually explicit photos of a school girl was used to pull wool over our eyes. Deception with a capital D. It took the international media, the Eagle eye and the voice of the people to expose this u...

The apparent indecent haste which the NNP administration has pursued the Electronic Crime Bill, is certainly no accident as  the NNP will want us to believe. The past NDC administration outlawed criminal libel in our law as a matter of principle; NNP did not see it fit in their 13 years in office, because they wanted to keep this sword over the necks of journalists who dared criticize the administration. That law was used to arrest and charge George Worme and when the case reached the Privy Council, it was thrown out. Now Dr. Mitchell is back at the helm, he used the public outcry about the outrageous photos involving a school girl, to slip this piece of legislation under the door. When you look at the language of the bill, it fits perfectly the mentality of Dr. Mitchell.    The thirst to persecute those who oppose him by this crude attempt to criminalize comment that can be deemed to be “offensive” and aimed at causing” annoyance, inconvenience, insult and...

Forgiveness is determined to be the act of pardoning a person for a mistake or wrongdoing. On the other hand a forgiver is someone who has a tendency to forgive offenses readily and easily. In general terms persons who have that tendency is not a captive of hatred, is not malicious and revenge is as far away from their personality as the North Pole is to the South Pole. In a recent broadcast hosted by Pastor Stanford Simon, the Prime Minister was nudged to say that he has a forgiving soul. Well yes we, who could believe that. He went on to say that he has forgiven Hamlet Mark and Chester Humphrey of all persons. Why did he need to forgive Hamlet? What did Hamlet do to engage his wrath, when he (Hamlet) was in the main man in NDC media center and reports suggest that he passed on sensitive information to the NNP and actually dissed a major PR effort to further expose Mitchell.  Actually he even boasts that he was always an NNP that is why his blog was a constant thor...

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%. NNP propagandists want to make Grenadians believe that they reduced the VAT on those items from 15% to 5%. Sorry Hamlet, many Grenadians do read and will not fall for this cheap trick. So Mr. Steele is trying to give Grenadians the impression the he working and will deliver a stone crushing machine to Gravel Concrete. Big deal!! When questioned about quantities to be removed, he had...

The Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell had made a fool of the Grenadian people, promising to deliver so much within one hundred days of being elected to office.  The reality is more hardship for people . Hundreds of workers,  mainly  women making less that $1000. a month have been sent home. They have children to feed and  to send  to school. Dr. Mitchell made commitment that no one will he victimized . As we see these was merely words.  The only thing the NNP were able to deliver were terminated letters and empty promises. Prior to the election, Dr. Keith were on television saying a vote for the NNP is vote for betterment. He was ranting about hundreds for investors  that were line up. 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...
