So in the midst of supposed mismanagement of our limited financial resources by “overly sensitive personalities whose pettiness knows no bounds,” your beloved technocrats simply clam up, vanish into obscurity but continue to enjoy their inflated salaries while you defend them as powerless pawns. They seem more parasitic ticks to me. If they feel they are being disregarded they can opt to quit and use their unappreciated talents to establish their own enterprises as suggested by Pam Popo.

“… forcing on public servants a four-percent increase in 2013”

Honestly are you joking? Forcing? If you choose to recall, the public servants’ initial demand was close to 4 times that figure while the government’s opening offer was 0.0% which in many circles was deemed as “insulting”.

They are the enforcers of political correctness either to ensure the money spigot is running full force (VAT or copious borrowing) or backing up the scams like global warming , gay marriage and feminism.

At his interview he profess to be able to turn the company round, and within a year productivity and profit would double. He was asked twice if he really could do what he was claiming. He said yes. Before offering him the consultancy they did a search on him and found he had lost three different companies that he had started himself. He in fact owed millions to several creditors. So my observation is this if those technocrats are so bright why are they not making millions for themselves ?

Anyone can be a Technocrat, just wear a nice suit and pretend you know what you are talking about, which really means that most St. Lucians could qualify.

Furthermore, if and when a simple idea to innovate an existing problem into an avenue of opportunity does become available it is instantly snatched and viciously divided between the rabid dogs of “Non-Thinking Back Scratcher Political Farts” who firmly believe that anything and everything must pass through them first.

Result: Economic, Social and Financial Homicide. Saint Lucia is now just like France was in 1788 before the Revolution of 1789-1799
