Is that running country?
I ask the question in light of a video in circulation of Minister Norland Cox looking for votes in the south by parading with a one-legged elderly man on a wheelchair.
I have a feeling sure the NNP gave the man a couple of dollars to do that ad. Why didn’t Nikki Steele, the MP, go before and visit that man and do that ad to show that the NNP cares about people.
That video is nothing but a political gimmick. I am going to the South and help Andy Williams campaign when the time gets closer.
Why don’t Cox go up in Carriacou and help those people with their many problem because that is where he is from and not the South.
I was in Carriacou 3 weeks ago and can tell you that they have a lot of problems since I interviewed over 50 persons.
Keith Mitchell, Cox and other members of the NNP feel Grenada belongs to them but time will tell.
At the cricket match at the stadium on Saturday between West Indies and England I noticed that at Tea time, Keith Mitchell came down from the VIP stand, flanked by his bodyguards and walked in front of the Junior Murray/Rawle Lewis stand hoping that fans would have stood up and shout out and salute him.
But that did not happen, he came back through the same place to go back to the VIP stand and it was the same result, like people didn’t see him.
I was happy that the cricket match did not have much interest on Sunday so he would not walk around and pose as Robert Mugabe, the late dictator from Zimbabwe.
How is it only now Keith Mitchell really likes the youths? Is it from the time he became the oldest Minister of Youth in the world? Why did he not like them before? Is it only now because Grenada has become a youthful nation that he likes them?
If I were in Tourism, Grenada would have made a lot of money from the 3rd test match that was played here.
With my Government knowing months in advance that the 5 days of cricket was taking place at the national stadium, I would have gone out and negotiated to have 3 or 4 English cruise ships coming here on those days – The Britannia, Azura and Queen Mary to call each day of the cricket.
Grenada would have made a lot of money with those ships coming onto the Melville Street Terminal, a stone throw away from our national stadium because those ships I talk about carry English passengers.
The cricket started on Thursday, 24 March and the ship that came had more Americans on it, on Saturday a small ship with a few English people came calling at Port St. George.
There were no ships on Saturday and Sunday. I wonder who is running Tourism in Grenada, my lovely Island of Spice. Is it locals or foreigners?
