  1. On second thought the price is still too high, if little St. Kitts could lower their prices to about EC $10 we can do it as well. I am not here to bring down the government but to see to it that they do the right thing for the people and country. For this $77,000,000 deficit to be paid off you will have to lower the prices to below EC $10 at the pumps.

  2. Kenny has turned SDt. Lucia into a beggars society. Please master, please master give me a break please.

  3. It could have been lowered some more but will do for now, let’s hope for further reductions in April.
