    When so called leaders embrace gang members and bad elements it’s chaos.

    I find in these relatively small Caribbean jurisdictions crime continues to escalate at an alarming rate. The governments of the day seem clueless in implementing any real solutions to this problem.

    Look at all the governments in the region. Instead of devising plans to fix the problems of the country and bring meaningful relief to all, they (politicians) single-mindedly focus on self-enrichment, feathering their own nest.

    The hearts of the modern politicians are dreadfully dark. “Darkness cannot drive away darkness, it takes light to do that.”
