United Workers Party (UWP) political leader Ron Green said the rise in criminal incidents on the island is a reflection of the frustration of the Dominican youth whom he says lack employment and motivation.
Green’s comments come on the heels of a daylight robbery at the National Development Foundation of Dominica (NDFD) last week Wednesday, where masked armed men escaped with an undisclosed sum of money.
He was also speaking in light of a recent incident where a young man lost his life following a wounding incident in the Jimmit area.
“The rise is a reflection of frustration in society and lack of opportunities. There isn’t anything on the horizon that gives a sense of hope to the young people,” Green believes.
He said the police also needs more resources and the leadership of the country should step up their game.
“It’s not just to be harder on criminals; it’s about the general outlook. There are so many white colour crimes that appear to be not being dealt with,” he added.
He says the Government needs to give people the sense that they have a future in the country.
It’s amazing!!!!! RUN GREEN could not even ron a basketball team in La Plaine, he was in office as minister of education, what did he do to combat that very same problem that’s going on now? Is there anywhere in your so called manifesto which you were surposed to lunch online that stated problems affecting the youth? I think you should shut up or help the gov’t try solve the matter because it’s a concern for everyone………by the way where is Earl Williams? and who is the REAL leader of the united workers party?…
Currently, I believe every Dominican is disatisfied with the handling of crime upsurge in DA. Ron Green has evey right to comment on what we all know is a problem in our country.
Ron, u again ? y dont u think b4 u talk ? man look b4 u leap.
Above all the powers that be should come up with a comprehensive crime fighting plan for Dominica before things get out of hand. Let the experts and Nation security minister put together a crime plan. Is there a crime fighting plan for Dominica? Remember what is happening now can be considered as symptomic- so the real cause of crime has to be dealt with. Dats where the Minister of National security and all the other stakeholders come in. All the best!
“The rise is a reflection of frustration in society and lack of opportunities.”
Sincere, as Ron Green would like to appear, I consider his comments somewhat hypocritical!
Although the UWP served a very short term in office, Ron should make it abundantly clear that he also through the UWP had the opportunity to create some form of opportunity for the youths of the country, thus he also could have been an instrument of prevention, and perhaps he could have prevented some frustrated kid from thinking of getting hold of a gun, and indulge in the robbing banks, and private citizens.
Government cannot provide jobs for every citizen who requires one, however, when private citizens approach government, with their business proposals, either through communication in writing, or verbally, and in person, their ideas and proposals should be reviewed, and considered.
The bad ideas should be scrapped, thrown into the trash bin of history, however whereas some may have presented a wise, and viable idea, and that entity, or individual has the financial resources to organize their business, I see no reason why that person, entity, or company should not be allowed to set up a business in the country.
Within the four years plus that the UWP held power, I personally know of three different Dominican national, in the diaspora who tried unsuccessfully to set up businesses in Dominica, ranging from a Communication company, to a paper product company, and another person intended to set up a poultry farm.
The poultry farm would have produced chicken and eggs to be consumed locally, and also exported to the neighboring islands in the region. The idea was to go into the production of Ham also.
The paper company owner intended to set up a company intended to produce, toilet paper, paper towels, and sanitary requirements which women use, and that would include products such as tampons, ect.
The the communication company had a master plan, no telling how large that company would be by now, the person who intended to sink his millions, and time into the project is a Dominica born scientist.
What happen to his plans and ideas. Well, this Dominica scientist lives in Canada, an appointment was made to meet with ” my cousin Edison James,” who was Dominica’s Prime Minister then, Ron Green I believe was the Minister of Education.
Anyway, the scientist and his nephew went to Dominica, traveled to meet with James, in his office, they sat waiting on Mr. James for quite a long time before they got the news (message), that Prime Minister James could not see them because he James, was too busy!
The next day the Dominica born scientist, departed to the Island of Barbados, held discussions with that island government which was happy to get the communication business set up in Barbados. At the inception, it is my understanding it employed more than forty people.
So, I would be correct if I say the UWP cost approximately forty Dominican a livelihood, which could be provided to them by a Dominica born.
The person who proposed the poultry farm, I understand was told we have one already, or somebody was in the process of building one. With comments like that’s an indication the person had no chance of getting the okay.
How many people could be employed on a poultry farm?
Perhaps Ron Green can answer such a simple question.
Now the scientist I know personally, I happened to work for a company which he also worked with.
The lady, who proposed investing in the poultry business I do not know.
However, the people who had every intention of investing in the paper product business, I know personally, they live in Canada, and the chief organizer is married to one of my cousins, as a matter of fact they were already operating a small airline in Dominica, some of us may remember an aircraft which crashed in the mountains of Wesley, piloted by an African, well they are the same company which intended to invest in the paper product business.
Now, if I know of three such incidents, what about the many people who may have approached Mr. Green and his colleagues, wanting to invest in the country, only to be ignored, because some minister was either too busy to give them an audience, or maybe these people were ignored simply because they are Dominica born, thus they were not taken seriously.
So, for Mr. Green to complain of the lack of opportunity which causes frustration among the youths are not altogether sincere, the time he took to cause a hindrance by preventing the opposition from taking their seats in the nations parliament, he should have encouraged them to go to fulfill the duties they were elected to perform, and by doing their duties, they could help concentrate on the creating of opportunities, rather than been so disrupted.
Anyway, unless John, has relinquished his position as leader of the opposition, and UWP, and Green is reinstated, we should not recognized him as the leader of the UWP, he is darn lucky Spags may have felt sorry for him, and name him as an opposition senator, thus allowing him to get a few dollars out of the treasury so that he can survive.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
So when leaders say such irresponsible thing,how do they expect crime to stop/ These utterances are merely for political mileage and not based on any analysis of the root causes-Ron has lost so much respect as a leader with his ill-timed and off the head statements—and this happens like a recurring decimal.Ron is just a figure -head leader but it is Eddison calling the shots,
@Democratic lover: what’s wrong with you?the man is a dominican he have the right to say what he see is going wrong in dominica so because your party is in power no body should say nothing what the man say is the truth why don’t you like the truth you must give jack his jacket. your love for skerrit have you acting like a fool you should change your name to skerrit underware . because democratic lover don’t suit you. you need to put your country before skerrit
@GRASSROOT:
I agree with you grassroot. Mr. Green what the youth need more than employment is Jesus.
Mr. Green you must remember your party is part of the governing system of Dominica.Please play your part in the development of the country u say u love
@Gary: Yes I have been trying to say let us comment without the slander and insults. We can have a very objective discussion and make meaningful suggestion to help curb the problems we are facing.
@Ananymous: Nice sir. I guess you are very open to say what happenned. You are making a very valid point. Parents have stopped parenting and supervising. Whilst it is true most of us parents have had to go to work and yes the children were left unsupervised, then even one is tired, we have to supervise homework etc. Yes I feel for you but now that you have seen what is wrong, it was very difficult as a single parent to do what is right because you are reminded that you are old fashioned. I see especially young men who wants to live together in the parents home with their girlfriend like they ready to put out their mothers and when you say to them this is outright disrespectful, The girls themselves even more bold faced than the men. When I was younger, I could never sleep at my boyfriends parents home. I felt and still feel that this is disrespectful. Try to correct them and they say that you are old fashioned. We live in a modern world. I am very happy that I was born when I was since I know that morals have broken down. Some parent have had to conform to the selfish wants of their children who say that they are old fashion. But I need to say that morals are not old fashion. Please let us as parents do what we have to do with our kids and most important show them love. Be concerned about their whereabouts and their friends. Ananymous has made some valid points which we must poner on.
I think the opposition is missing something, Dominicans want to move on. We are in the 21s century and we want 21st century politics. Politics of ideas, not politics of distroying everything. We want to respect our opposition, but they have to do better, than all this negativity. The PM is not god he cannot give a job to everyone, they critise every thing, or the sake o critising. The have no ideas but they critising.
@Against crime:Can we please leave the Baby Jesus out of this…please?
The point I am trying to make (that got lost on you) is that by critiquing the Government the UWP Leader offers nothing of an alternative or idea. He is simply just out of tune and touch. In every country there is crime and some people choose to get things thru crime instead of hard work. I bust my behind every day to make my ends meet.
I want more focus on lowering duties, ensuring property rights, fair treatment to Dominican merchants and not the protecting the Chinese, better service in all sectors, and an environment conducive for conducting business.
Have you ever tried to clear an item from Customs in Dominica? The amount of places you have to go to get this done is just crazy. Not to mention, that the Customs officers apply their own pricing to these items. It depends on who you meet, you get a different price.
In places like Africa, their society is based largely on clans and tribes. We are not like that in Dominica. Although your surname gets you far depending on it, we do not operate by Clans or tribes. We also have not lived under a dictatorship with our rights curtailed. We have free speech, “ever listen to Q95 or Kairi FM?.
In Dominica we have had only one experience of totalitarian rule, and men lost their lives and went to prison because of this.
You said, “Africa is the richest continent on earth, but because of rigged elections, bad governance and corrupt leaders the African countries suffer. You want your GOVT. to continue to conduct elections with all the irregularities. Voter ID cards would stop that.
Voter ID cards would not. –Dream about it, but it won’t! It alone cannot usher in the UWP.
Do the Math. How many people voted in the election?
How many people came from abroad to vote?
Do you think the number of people would have had an outcome that would put UWP into office?
In countries like the US, one can vote and not be living in the 50 states or territories via absentee ballot. Is that wrong to want to be part of the process for choosing your leaders/politicians?
In Dominica the goal of the UWP is to disenfranchise the Diaspora voter and then ask that same voter to assist with funding the many court petitions filed by the UWP.
The elections was NOT lost in December 2009 due to voting irregularities. It was lost due to the ineptitude of the Opposition Parties, namely UWP.
The campaign before the above mentioned election was based on corruption allegations-Not one sound Economic/Social Development plan. One can make all sorts accusations of bribery/corruption but unless you bring proof and the public does not see their dollars being spent, it is a waste of time.
Ron Green/Edison and the others remind me of Dame M.E. Charles, they are killing the party and its chances of relevancy by trying to cling to power. These guys would be well warned by those of us that really have the best interests of Dominica at heart to step aside and allow us to take the party further and move on.
well i understand mr greens concern about crime and in my opinion crime should be taken more seriously by the government..but i really disappointed with some of the things that mr green said…mr green you a part of the government and i hope you realized so its not only the the party in power who has to someting about it but you have a contribution to make to crime not affect labour alone but every citizen in Dominica…and i seriously tired of all u making excuses for when ppl commit crime…i mean nothing wrong if u say that is a contributing factor but doh state dat and say lack of opportunities my foot….i doh mind if u had say in my grandparents time and parents time they did not really have the opportunities to get a education to give us the home they wanted it was hard and they had to struggle to survive and feed us but this generation come and meet so easy with alot of opportunites accademically, skills etc and u saying the opportunities not there…opportunites my foot…and they are not be motivated and u all having alot of awareness programs for the youths i really want to know wat u talkin about my boy.. i know that some youths are not motivated but i do know that others are doin best to motivate the youths and dem either at home, church, school or via the media u check so my boy get ur facts straight and come back again
@Against crime:
I do not understand Why you’re so fiercely against someone criticizing Mr Green’s comments in a positive manner, is this the kind of level we have gotten to,where Politics and Party affiliations has given people tunnel vision. Why is it that Mr Green cannot be criticized fairly and honesty. I think the comments you made about Jesus Christ would implicate you with your tunnel vision. When Mr Greens Party UWP won the elections in 1995 why didn’t they administer to the things you’re complaining about, voters ID cards, and wasn’t Dominica a friend of Cuba under his administration
Well if anyone is showing hatred is you, why are you making such unnecessary comments regarding a persons Parents, is that called for, Why is it you can’t read something positive and comment about it without slander and honesty. I know what it is the, truth always offend, and You never find yourself until you face the truth.
No disrespect to you Mr.Green But i think you need to go on the rubbish dump and talk about there things you are saying here in the dump..And leave it here make sure it doesnt follow you..you talking crap politics..Ron Green is saying on a radio program and is blaming the governemt for all those crimes espically for the one that happened at the NDFD.. The people didnt not go in a shop and put a bread and a tin of susage in their pants and walked out. They went and PULL GUN on poor people children.. what is poverty Mr.Green? If you robbing people if you claimmin is because of poverty you would look for Your Needs Like Food etc.. Come on
Are you deaf..didn´t the prime minister just say last week that anyone found with an illegal firearm goes strait to jail..I live in a city where there is approx 65 homicides to each hundred thousand people and in Dominica it is only about 2 homicides to each hundred thousand people..
RUN GREEN IS JUST ANOTHER EMPTY BOX !!!!!! THEY DID SO MUCH TO CURVED CRIME AND WHY IS EARL STILL HIDING FROM HIS COUNTRY HE USE TO LOVE,BESIDES ALL THE STANDARD THEY PUT TO STOP IT, THEY STOP OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY WERE THE ONES DEEPLY ENGAGED IN DOING CRIME SO RUN GREEN CAN GO TO H E L L AND DIE.
PM THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT CRIME DO WHAT YOU CAN AND LEAVE THE REST TO GOD.
THEY’REFULLY EMPLOYED AND BECAUSE OF GREEDINESS THEY RATHER TO LOST THEIR JOBS AND SETTLE FOR LESSER AMOUNT OF MONEY
Crime is everybody’s problem.
Doesn’t Mr. Green realize that as opposition they are part of the “leadership” of the country?
I was expecting some possible proposals being laid out by Mr. Green in combating the rising problem not merely expressing his dissatisfaction in it’s handling.
Now is the time for a non partisan approach to addressing crime before it gets way out of hands like say, Jamaica.
Mr. Green I encourage you to lay out some possible solutions, propose them out to the government and if they refuse to work with you or listen to you, you have a platform for the next general election: the fight against crime. You guys need to think ahead.
Ron Green talking so much B.S.alot of the crimes happening in D.A is from yout man who come from families that is able.these young men just have dirty ways and this is it.there was always crimes and will always be crimes don’t matter who is in power and even things are all good with everyone.Sing on Ron.
@Ananymous:
Well said and Done. The person who wrote about Youth needs moral support could not have done it better
mr green will u please shout up ,how many off us had a job in time off goverment. first time in life i see such opposition that work u all doing thats not how oppoistion have to do stop brakeing and killing domininca sakwa gocon we fedup with u all.
@STAY TUNED: what point. There is no bashing. Crime is everywhere and Dominica is no exception. All these things and worse happen in the greener pastures that we run to…. Dominica is not immune against such things.The fight against crime is everybody’s business, not just a government.Parents, teachers, religious leaders, political leaders.But of course, opposition ploiticians (not only in Dominica ) always use the negative to their advantage.It is time that we the people stop listening to the politicians and take up our responsibilities to our country.Remember our national pledge.
“The rise is a reflection of frustration in society and lack of opportunities. There isn’t anything on the horizon that gives a sense of hope to the young people,” Green believes.
I am trying to think back, please help me somebody!!! Was it different during the time of UWP? There was even more frustration then and more lack of opportunities. That is why so many persons left the island during those times in search for greener pastures.
I am sure I heard during the budget address there will be soft loans available to cultural groups and musicians. Isn’t that some hope to young people. Didn’t the government promise the unemployed a a stipend if they are unemployed? Did you inquire about the employment agency at the Ministry of Trade. Please advise your hopeless people of the opportunities available to them, Sir in your next address.
Mr. Green pretending that there were no crimes during his tenure in Government. Crimes also existed Sir. So come on, take a survey around the Caribbean and see. Every statement that is made by the opposition is geared at the Government. Make a valuable suggestion for dealing with crime and show the young population that you as a party have some solutions to the problems in the country. That is why you failed in the last general elections, you did not bring any solutions to the table, it was always about criticizing and blaming the Government.
It is time to bring some positive suggestions to the table.
Well thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually used to like Ron Green before the last elections. But Ron has showed that he is clearly a Mal-Papai and will never amout to nothing. If I was Ron and i lost the way he did i would shot up and go hide somewhere.
@McCoy Tyner: If Jesus Christ comes to Dominica and reminds us that
1+1=2, he would be bashed by you and your ilk. No surprise. Africa is the richest continent on earth,but because of rigged elections, bad governance and corrupt leaders the African countries suffer. You want your GOVT. to continue to conduct elections with all the irregularities. Voter ID cards would stop that. So you are afraid of that. Who are the leaders of China, Cuba and many other countries which assist Dominica, ageable men, right or wrong. People like you would shun your parents aside for being too old. Their experience and knowledge are no longer needed, is that what you are telling Dominicans Shame on you. Corruption in your blood. Your hatred of Ron is not surprising.
Mr green ,you are so wrong eh sir .i dont believe that u are really listening to news all over the world for u to come talking like that.listen u should know better than me because u are much older than i am ,that you can take a cow to the well but can’t force it to drink water .dominica is not the only place with crime and government cannot employ every body they can put stuctures in place to empower the the but trust me they cannot employ every one .Even u are on the opposition side you also should be creating some form of employement for the young people and stop blaming every thing that happen on the government.
I am not red blue or green but just like to see fairness .why dont u not think and say it could have been the crimnals they are sending back to our beautiful country from over seas thats causing that ? because of the way they are moving when they go to commit their crimes?mr green when u talk like that remember we are not the only ones reading and listening to these things so i believe sometimes u must think before u talk.
there is work in d/ca it may not be an office job but there is work .if we only sit and say that government is not employing people we will never find a job .
so before u come and bla bla your mouth create employment for the young people tooo.AMEN BYE BYE
Well Said Mr. Green. Let me see if those laybah power will bash you for this one and REFUSE to get the point.
Mr. Green in what world are you??? So what would you say about trinidad, st. kitts, st. lucia, ny, jamaica etc. among other countries where crime is high??? would you blame it on the politicians? it seems you are in kindergarten. stop playing with toy cars and wake up to the real world…
Mr . Green i understand this statement but it’s the same said all the time . That’s why i do believe the country need your party to come into the parliament to put forward bills and make ammendments to assist in the struggle . The youths like myself see fights going on among you leaders as no example and we’re fed up . We truly need die hard representation and on all sides . We hear you all speak of corruption but are effortless in your approach because we know a man can’t win a fight unless he gets in the ring arena and fight .
Also Mr . Green , our parents caused us and made us what we are today . I was raised being home alone from 7:30 whilst my parents were gone to work until 4 and 5 pm . At times if they’re late when i’m out from school have to be all alone in the house with my companion mr . Television , who for that day taught me how to steal , how to kill , how to high-jack , kidnap , rape etc . I knew what sex was too , so sex education was confusing because i learnt in two different areas (school and tv ) . Don’t talk about holidays . So speaking about un-employment can be considered but it’s not the main reason and from example i repeat it has nothing to do with it .
The problem is Mr Green and my readers , take note and from a man who’ve made this bad decisions which caused me much , it’s more than un-employment , moral decay , poor parenting , un-supervised or lack of parent gaurdian , lack of adult support to school and education , religion and politics are the top of my list to mention with many others are responsible for the way i turned out to be . who ever collected my report books , who attended meetings for me , who attended parent programs , who cared to ask my principal how i was doing . When i was sent home and could only return when parents come with me , who came ? who cared ? How many parents take a break from school atleast once a month , go to find out how we’re performing and about our conducts ? If we get demerits or detentions all they say is the teachers not teaching , they’re uselss-ly paid our tax money . You not worse than any other chile , they won’t tell the rich man child nothing but is you that bad . thumbs to the few who does , but majority is left to mourn .
They buy us cell-phones to increase our carnal minds . they never go thru our messages , nor inquire our contacts . they don’t know our friends , we say we going out , they don’t know where too and careless when we’ll return . If they miss us they call , where are you at ? triple Kay , Ck , or krazy’s , okay take care eh . Don’t ask who we’re with , shaba or monga or etc .
We come home wid a brand , who cares , for most they might say you have new shoes , some may ask where you buy it or get it , or give it to you ? a friend . no question who . they don’t go in our rooms . when my room was broke into by police and the discoveries they made , my parents never knew , guns , drugs and monies . the last time they entered my room was at the age of six . mom never had time to clean it . she’d send me to do it . i smoked that room and she never found out . When i was arrested at 5;00 that morning , she was stunt to find out the criminal she harboured and created .
So friends it’s killing me i have to say it as a young man who’ve been convicted of many crimes and the worst ones , take it from me un-employment has nothing to do with it , i lacked attention , parential affection and moral support . that alot of young people lack so they go for it in the wrong areas and seek the wrong avenues .
A child who’s taught and cared for would never consider doing wrong for things . unless if they’re pressured . So government bashing is useless , the problem is bigger than the government , but weaker than the community and families .
Very well thought out and put together McCoy Turner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thumbs up to you…
I particularly wish to highlight the part in your comment about being treated badly at a place of business. Our companies/businesses/employers need to find a way to train their staff ASAP, it is sickening to walk into a business place these days. When you ask a question they become visibly irritated and ‘roll -up’ their eyes in your presence.
Then they all complain about jobs and that the government is not providing jobs…..but i wonder, whether it is that there are no jobs or that they do not wish to work and have money? haitians can find work, Chinese can create work but our people expect everything to be served on a platter. Yet, when there is a big show going on they can attend…it is as if we have our priorities messup up!!!
Then while Ron Green has made a valid point, I was expecting reccommendations as to how we could solve the problem….or at least suggestions that we could use to move our country forward! It is as if all we can do is criticize and oppose instead of coming up with ideas to change the current trend of crime sweeping our country.
VERY WELL SAID MR GREEN……!!!!!!!!
Yes Mr. Green, go ahead and make excuses for crimes in the country. Why don’t you, as a leader,demonstrate your love for the country by lending your voice and call on the youth and others to refrain from criminal activities?How can you refer to the recent incident with the bus driver as a way of dealing with frustration from unemployment and lack of motivation? Seems like you know the circumstances surrounding this incident.
VERY GOOD………dont tell me anyone is going to oppose what was being said.
Very well said Mr. Green. A country with corrupt leadership is like Ada’s loaded truck going down the Pond Case hill with no brakes. We are in a crisis period that this country has never seen before and the leadership thinks that we can fix it by passing draconian laws. The day of reckoning will soon come.
Why is it a Haitian can leave his own country and find or create a job in Dominica and the ‘Dominican Youths’ can not?
There is work available, it might not be glamorous or pay a hefty salary, but it is available. The simple truth is that, in Dominica we are not poor enough to do what we must ‘Legal of course’ to feed ourselves/our families.
• I know of no one who starves to death in Dominica
• There is always food to eat, albeit not the fancy KFC, but there is food available
• What exactly is Ron Green saying? What is his logic?
• Does he have a plan to make the Dominican youth work, even if it is for a lower wage?
• What exactly are they frustrated about?
• In Dominica, a Jam/Show/Festival comes around and the same people who are unemployed or underemployed dress better than you or myself.
• They always seem to find a money to attend the event and eat and drink too!
• If only that same motivation was there in finding a job or working.
Have you ever walked into a business (Large or Small) and be treated like someone in there is doing you a favor and not just doing what they are paid to do?
“What You Want’….instead of ‘How may I assist you’….
‘Hurry up nuh, I closing you know’ instead of ‘Is that all Sir/Madam’….
‘I Doh have change’…..instead of ‘Do you have anything smaller’…..
Attitudes filter through and Ron Green is a prime example of this….a Bitter Old man!
Here we have a younger man, Hector ‘Neg Bawi’ John rising through the ranks…or so we are made to believe.
These guys offer up this fellow who has little experience, but a lot of energy. I will equally point out the Mr. Skerrit also had little experience at the time of his ascension. We expect him to try hard and make it through, even if he has missteps along the way.
But then we see the ugly truth…Grumpy Old Men who have nothing else on their mind but grabbing power and using Mr. John as a proxy in their quest.
Instead of letting this younger man help move the party forward, rebuild it, re-stock it, reinvigorate the supporters, Ron Green, Edison Chenfield James, Norris’ Prevost & Charles are intent on keeping the old ideas and attitudes in the party.
A good government, needs a good opposition to bring all ideas for Dominica to the table.
Voter ID cards are not a way to do this.
I would prefer ideas on starting new businesses, removing the barriers and red tape.
How about lowering the import duties/license fees and ensuring that these savings are passed on to the consumers. The business people who refuse to pass these savings on, would be fined.
It is time to work for the people and stop campaigning.
The elections are over and are not due for about 5 years….
Garcon, can this guy retire already and move back to his American homeland.
ron green dissatisfied with everything that is not his doing. he always know better! smh
Ask yourself, (What can I do for my country, not what my country can do for me). the late pm Duglass. spent all of his opposition life looking for oppertunity for Dominica .
Mr Green are you serious?? Come on get together with concerned citizen and put action where your mouth is. Stop criticising the Government for all the ills of the Nation. We are all to be blamed.. No love only hate like you are doing now. Putting those who do not know better against the Government by insinuating that the government is reposnsilble. Start motivating them. Come on Mr Green on the ground get set go . You and the talkers put a something in place to have some form of lecture/conselling for the youths of this country. Stop the blame and do something for your country and wait your turn when the electorate will vote for you. So many professed smart men together with you only using their mouths. Get on the ground and let us do something for the youth of this nation. Are you not a previous minister of Education. You should be qualified to start something positive. Not talking and talk show. Enough of that talk show. Now is action time.. Come on … Remove your eyes on the PM and the Labour party and start something with your group members , not revolution but something that will bring glory to the Heavenly Father and not yourselves. I am praying for you and the others in that regard.
