    It looks like the National Meritorious Service Awards has lost its meaning and charm. It has metamorphized into a comedy gala to reward friends , supporters, party cronies and stooges. Why is it that those who are not close to the hench people can never make the list to be forwarded to the President no matter what their achievements may be?

      Agree, it’s a who is who of devoted Skerrit worshippers. Everything that once was of value in DA is slowly but surely taken through the mud by this Horrible PM. I am disgusted!!!
