shut up homeboy; you did the same thing
This is a nice gesture. However, as a past agricultural officer for Bellevue and Giraudel I know that the bigger bosses use the vehicles for driving around and doing their own business as opposed to sending the vehicles where they are really needed.
good to know such things but thats normal procedure. The big news really and truly ought to be the unsound heroes and how they toiled to make this country what it is today.
Now can they do some work and make the country and the OECS less dependent on food imports.

It was that damn Yankee, Yogi Berer who coined the phrase it’s deja vu again.
How many times in our lifetime have we seen this picture – new vehicles for agriculture, or the police, or the fire service, or some other institution of government?
Have we ever wondered about their precise impact on our national development? With concrete, impirical eveidence to show? With hard data by which to measure?
We welcome every country’s (indeed everyone’s) generosity to our country. But I always think, where is the accountability? How do we measure, how do know that these largesse is going to their intended causes, and meeting their declared purpose? What is the infrastructure, the instruments for assessing the effect of these injections of fresh resources into our system? So that we can say with certainty that they are being put to good useSo that we can indeed point to their uses and irrefutable impact on our society?
It’s time we stop the bleeding. Those concerned, into whose hands have been placed these lastest infusion of material assistance have a responsibility to erect a transparent process for holding all users and agencies to which such help is given accountable.
