Comments on: It’s Time To Give Vieux Fort a New Deal . . . https://stluciastar.com/time-give-vieux-fort-new-deal/ Bringing the Truth to Light Mon, 24 Apr 2017 22:55:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: king majesty (@kingmajesty3) https://stluciastar.com/time-give-vieux-fort-new-deal/#comment-96148 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 22:55:20 +0000 https://stluciastar.com/?p=56930#comment-96148 I have always been of the belief of cession for Vieux-Fort from the North. As lame as this may sound Mr. Josie cc: Rick Wayne ; for too long even to date (fact) every dollar secured by the State, 75 cents is spent on the Northern Towns of Rodney Bay and Castries to appease their so called Cosmopolitan Life Style and infrastructure developments, while Vieux- Fort is pleasantly neglected. I will agree, (rare) The Kenny Administration took a slow lack luster approach in implementing a new renaissance atmosphere for the development of View- Fort and it’s keen assets such as the Water Font for cruise ship arrivals, offering appealing tax incentives for the use of government lands for development to cooperate entities and small businesses with out leasing it for a dollar for ninety nine years. Presenting a profound portfolio to the stakeholders in The Tourism Industry to strengthen St Lucia product by building in Vieux- Fort due to it’s close proximity to the island international airport which is the heartbeat of St Lucia’s economic engine. Any of the above few, if implemented would garner longevity prosperity to Vieux- Fortians and St Lucians on a whole.

Whenever legitimate questions asked of any government in office about proposed developments that will impact negatively on the population today and future generations it is defended from a political stand point.
We must learn to question and analyse from an objective perspective, all government in office regardless of colour and party must accept objections and challenges to proposed developments. The government should not defend its positions from simply a political stance but basically Lear to put forward detail information and explanations to convince the populace that their proposals for developments presented will benefit them today and the future generations.
I am a UWP supporter and have been from the time I had an understanding of politics, I demonstrated against the SLP government that won the elections in 1979 immediately following independence. I can categorically hear that I do not support the DSH project in its present form as it will not be beneficial to the future generations of this country of my birth. I am of the opinion that the current proposal of linking the the main land the islets will have an irreversible impact on flora and fauna of this islet. The terms of the agreement to give so much to one developer for very little in return and little protections thus ensure the future generations are saddle with being chief cook and bottle washers to foreigners that have bought our citizenship for $100,000. In simple terms we are set the future generations to be slaves in the own country to the wealthy a corrupt so call Nestor that can afford to buy our citizenship.
We the people must challenge any government be SLP or UWP in office willing to give or sell our patrimony.
The mental retardation across the Caribbean by our leaders that we must and only progress with the foreigners investment is a false promise that continue to endorse and cement us into economic slavery.
