You guys are right ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.. so shut up and learn some thing from this government. A government is there to help its people at the same time the people has to help there country and the government,they could only give so much for FREE.for the sand the price is right,that will give the people a chance to see the unecessary construction in the size on some of the residential homes.

Mr Stallion yes it is fair to say that sometimes it does appears so but one could always say the same for Hm government and i ask this questions,why are they not putting out more informations on what they are doing the positive things, also informing the nation as to what was the real state of the country finance left behind by the outgoing NNP Admin,that way our people would have first hand knowledge of the type of government the NNP was, they the nnp would claim that they have left the country in good health well they would say so and it was then up to to incoming government to open the books to the nation so that our people would know what a bunch of crooks these people were.We in grenada for too long have listen to these characters (politicians) who talk to us as though we are there property they rule our country as though they owned it giving us little but takes plenty yes the NNP did do some good but at a very high price to our country (see our balance of payement ) they have left our country in a mess and that is why they put out all this negatives,they are sick of the fact that they did not win the last election so that they could cover up their mis management and dealings with thoes crooked money dealers to name a few,they have still not explained to our people the out come of all the money given to grenada by foreign governments to help rebuilt our country after Ivan,Grenadians we have to wake up and take a good look at these people including Mr KCM and Mr Coard they are very clever and intellegent and smart people you just have to listen to them when they talk,when they started their journey to fame it at first seems to be true but somewhere along the way the power and the glory their hunger for power becomes their god as thus the rest is history . Grenadians we need to unite and get our country back to our people and unite as one LETS GIVE THIS NEW GOVERNMENT a chance to get our country back to our people as one people. one grenada one love grenada.

Great point Little Me, where are the facts to back up those statements? In case there are some truth in Keith's claims, I am very sorry for those affected and my prayers go out to them and Grenada as a whole. On the other hand, Keith was the Prime minister for THREE TERMS therefore he should not act surprise that the economy is in a poor condition. Taking into consideration the World's Economic Mess plus Hurricane Keith, I am not surprised that little Grenada has economic problems. As a great leader and Mathematician, Keith should have been able to project the state of Grenada economy at least up to one year after he is fired. (But he was NEVER a great leader). As a good and honest and smart leader, he should inform the new government of the economic situation for the benefit of Grenada, during the transition period (thats if Keith had Grenada at heart). Even George Bush had to update the new President on important issues that will impact the American people although he lied a few months before stating that "the economy is robust" when in truth and in fact, the U.S economy was in a recession for over a year before he was kicked out. Maybe the allegations are correct, "millions of unexplained dollars was spent shortly before the Grenada election". In this case Keith couldn't inform the Grenadian People because he would have been caught with his pants down. I strongly believe that the REJECTED Prime minister played and is still playing a childish game called "catch you". It is possible that Keith willfully squandered the Grenadian People's money when he realized he was on his way out, in order to create problem for the new Administration. This CHILDISH behavior reminds me of a little boy playing marble or ball and realizes he will lose, therefore he takes his marbles and ball and go home. Maybe Keith thought that Grenada and Grenada's money was his so he take it and go home because he was vex with Grenadians. The NDC Administration should appoint a Non Partisan Commission and hold and inquiry into those Money disappearance allegations. They should go through the books with a fine tooth comb and penalize I MEAN PENALIZE whoever steal and squandeded the people's funds REGARDLESS OF THEIR STATUS. A good and rational opposition is very useful to any country. However throwing words and making taybay like the old folks say, will not help Grenada especially during a world crisis. We need a patriotic opposition - not a selfish one. We need an opposition that can inform the people intelligently not to Dumb down the people. We need checks and balance but not Keith's and Coard's style. I wish we can soon have a better and more serious Opposition Party in Grenada, in the near future so Keith can stop acting like a little boy. Let him stay by the seaside and throw words. SOMETHING IS DEFINATELY WRONG IF THE REJECTED PRIME MINISTER COULDN'T FORESEE THE GRENADA ECONOMY AT LEAST ONE YEAR AFTER BEING KICKED OUT. He was the one doing the spending and he should have kept accurate records unless he was cooking the books. Keith, whether you cooked the books or not, you should not act surrprise to see the hardship that the country is facing after three terms. You are NAIVE if you are surprise. Be a real man and be a patriotic Grenadian regardless of political party. GROW-UP.

I would really love to see the facts/statistics to back up these statements. To me it appears to be just generalizations. Anyone can say, for example that more poor people are dying now because of the absence of the dialysis clinic...For a statement like that to be taken seriously I would like to see the statistics; show me how many died then versus now; show me the classifications for the people as poor; show how many poor versus not so poor, rich and not so rich died or survived.
