Friday is right to refuse any additional funds for the port, until the Opposition can visit the site and be fully informed by professionals, of what’s happening there and any other information to come to a conclusion that there is transparency of the project.
He should insist that the government inform the population of what’s happening at the port and get it to use professionals to help in explaining the issues at the port. The population should know how, when, why and where their money is being used for the plan. As a matter of fact this information should have been explained to the population before the project started. But Noah Ralph believes he knows everything and can use the people funds without telling them what to expect from projects.
Camillo is talking about the roads which have been nothing but a “POT HOLE” issue for many years. The vehicles have been going through this that cost them lots of money for damages to the body and the tires. Recently the police had been examining the vehicle tires instead of inspecting the roads and submitting information to make them better.
Then there is the issue of damage to the roofs of houses like what happened in the Grenadines. Many years ago Australia had the same problem when house were destroyed by a hurricane. They came up with a solution to help protect the houses, roofs and the people. SVG investigate those plans and start implementing them now, so that the next hurricane (and there will be many more coming) will not damage the homes and buildings like it did during the last hurricane.
One other issue I see on the political plate is the issue of increasing the population before the election this year.
1. Are these new citizens on the voting list to participate in the up-coming election?
2. Will the government release the voters list for each constituency?
3. Which constituency will observe these new votes?
4. Why is it necessary to increase the population months before the election?
5. Will the voters list be available to the population and the constituencies before the election?
6. Will these new people have voting cards or document to present when they appear to vote?
The calypso season had many participants providing their views of the up-coming election. This shows that the people are involved in providing changes to the government. They realize that this dictatorial situation has to stop and Ralph is too old to move the nation forward, especially since he wants to pass the torch to Baby Doc.
I believe the NDP can gain three constituencies to increase their seats to 9. I have heard one person talking of 10 NDP and 5 ULP. And I hope he is right.
This is an opportunity for Vincentians to move forward and don’t look back. VOTE THEM OUT!
