FORMER MEMBER ALLEGES 'POOR POLITICS' BY GRENADA'S OPPO...  
A former member of Grenada’s opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has severely criticised the party and its leader Nazim Burke, suggesting that the NDC could be headed for another defeat by the New National Party (NNP) when elections are called. “The current perception, excluding ‘NDC Pharisees’, is that the NDC has started to degrade and that the much-feared ‘one-party state’ is being handed on a golden platter to the NNP by the NDC,” said William Joseph. Joseph was chief of staff to former Prime Minister Tillman Thomas. He also was an NDC strategist in 2013, when the party lost all 15 parliamentary seats to the NNP of current Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell. He resigned from the NDC in the run up to internal party elections in 2014, in which former finance minister Burke succeeded Thomas as head of the party. According to Joseph, he left the National Democratic Congress because he “foresaw and declared that there was no realistic prospect of a successful Burke leadership” of the party. “I resigned from the NDC prior to his election to signify my opposition to, and rejection of, his leadership,” Joseph said. Under Burke’s leadership, claims Joseph, “the party is trudging in swamplands and sinking in the eyes of the public”. He contends that Grenadians hear Burke’s voice “but do not know what is in his heart. There is no excitement; no inspiration; no expectation.” At the level of the party, “the NDC’s public relations exposes a glaring lack of capacity and poor politics,” Joseph charged. “Unfortunately, they appear not to be following any protocol regarding, for example, the proper treatment of allegations; nor are they setting themselves any objectives.” Joseph said unless steps are taken by Burke “to fix the politics of the NDC,” the party “will not prevail, leaving thousands of good NDC members and supporters, of all ages, with bleeding hearts.” Source: Caribbean News Now

This observation is being made by after listening to the Grenada police chief account of the thiefing of some large sums of money while in the CUSTODY of the RGPF,and here one is bound to question as to how safe is our money and our security in our little sweet Grenada and the big question is how will our foreign bankrollers now see us,our government and our police force when from right under their legal control a very large sum of money just happened to walk out from where it was being stored under the nose of those who is paid to guard such large sum and that takes me back to a report posted by our own Government of Grenada last year on the 22/6/2016 and here is an extract from that post, The Government of Grenada integrity commission is playing host to an event here in grenada,and the motion is the implementation of a best practice in law,Forensic inestigation and accounting and the purpose of the conference is to discuss the establishment of a Caribbean Assocation of integrity Commission and anti corruption Bodies,which takes me back to something that was once said i believe by a politican or maybe a law enforcer quote "A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS"and here one is bound to ask since this communication was post by our government it should be asked has anything change in grenada with reference to corruption at the highest level, now even those who took an oath to protect and serve our nation is now a suspect to wrongdoing,even some so-called politicans who once pledge their loyalty to serve a particular party is now seen to be talking the talk and also bad mouthing their former party and its members who gave them a platform in the first place to get into politics,now some of them see the big money to be made on the other side now they are behaving like flying fish in season jumping in and out of the political bed hopping. lord Grenada and its politics nice so.
