Before you can reach any mountain top you have to go thru the valley below. In this case the valley is the sufferation of the St Lucian people of which Chastanet have attribute to and built his empire on. Now he wants to go on top of the mountain to fix his years of wrong doings. In what manner I ask and what price will St Lucians need to bear under his tenure ?? The saying goes people with money are only attracted to other people with money so one can only imagine how much of St Lucia would be for sale.

Thats exactly my point, these initiatives (SMILE and NICE) are just fire-fighting mechanisms to cover up the mass unemployment plaguing St.lucia. These programs have failed and are not sustainable, people need secure jobs which give them a sense of pride and empowerment. If Kenny wins another election in St.Lucia, we wont even have a guava season lol.

The whole island’s existence is based on roro, so you have already started judging Allen with your roro mentality, and this is dangerous because Dr. Kenny is the king of spreading roro with better days. Do you think things would be better under Allen? I do, at least he has a brain and is a man with integrity, unlike the big belly laba Santa with his STEP and SMILE, a type of welfare and poverty manufacturing system. Kenny borrows to create welfare, very scary, he calls kotlass roadside weeding and burning a job, when you have seven fat people staring at all the cars going by and looking like pirates.

When i read this article and follow the comments it saddens me. Our country is in a mess, our education system, economy, industry and people! We have a Prime minister who we continue to elect based on his charisma and ability to win the vote of the poor and ignorant with promises of a land of milk and honey. A prime minister who’s track record is synonymous with gross mismanagement of projects, cost overruns, VAT, shady secretive foreign deals and that is his only legacy. I’m trying to be objective, Mr. Chastenet appears to be a leader with vision who can drive industry and bring new ideas and investment to St.Lucia. I believe that a strong opposition needs to be in place so as to bring constructive criticism because of Chastenet’s conflicts of interest (Hotel & Family Businesses) to set boundaries for his power. I would like to address the issue of race, why is St.lucia following this new “race card” trend? So is it because Chastenet is fair skinned that he doesnt deserve to be prime minister? P J. Pierre was very vocal about race….is this the new politics? do we want to introduce a new dynamic and further divide our people? How embarrassing will it be for Pierre to become prime minister of this country with that kind of attitude? How is he going to rub shoulders with foreign leaders having such a complex…we have to start voting with our minds and for the good of our country instead of our pockets and political parties or our island will suffer…

He is not a man of the people. He does not understand the plight of poor St Lucian’s. One can only understand the plight of the “common man” only if you have walk in his shoes ; and when I last look where has Allen Chastanet done so ? Oil and water don’t mix. Most hotel or business people with vested interest does not engage in politics because of perceive economic moralistic principles of the fox guarding the hen house. Running a hotel is not same as running a country. There are social and economic issues a country has to deal with and if you were once or is part of the puzzle that contribute to it’s economic instability YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS TRYING TO RUN IT. Still many will not see this; the will only see and believe in the concept of white is right and black is wrong.

Eh eh how could I forget. The ass kissing multi million dollar to subsidies to American Airlines to fly to St Lucia while slashing the budget for the Tourist Board. Advertisement cost but it pays ; but when J. Pierre (The next Prime Minister ) did not do the same he was blasted by the dysfunctional political assassin in the media (They know who they are) He was right to say Chastanet will only win because he Shabbin.; we all know how St Lucians have inferior complex issues. King lost because they view him as a modern day Fat Albert and not the Leonardo da Vinci Fabio image many still has on their living room walls as a choice of the perfect messiah to govern.

Stupid article, if Allen is going to put Kenny away he needs to exploit the misery of “VAT” and “Better Days”. Hurricane and Trough Kenny have crippiled the nation with NICE and SMILE. This is not a pissing competition, the bottom line is are you better of today in Kenny’s Better Days? Do you want to live under the rule of a dictator in a red shirt and wrinkled pants. This worst that St. Lucia has ever been, Kenny selling off the island cheaply. Kenny is a desperate type of business man, the kind who is inferior and gives away everything .He is just like Santa right down to the big belly and red dress.

Yesss I see you have done your homework Tasha Smith take notes. Black Bay, Tourism Hostesses in Soufriere( choops Soufriere on a whole). Boxing in Paradise, Sourinam Air , Air Jamaica(millions lost some people never bounce back) Jazz, The defunct wine and Rum festival something along that line, JQ Monopoly on food import for years building his empire on the backs of poor and working class St Lucians. How soon they forget. Some of them wont talk because they are afraid to loose their seat at the dinner table (They know who they are) the absolute shame of it and they have the nerve to pump their patriotic fist on daily basis when they themselves want nothing more than to see their bosom buddy sleeping in government house.
