    I’m a firm believer of an old quote of Bess Myerson. He said, “The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference.”
    The above is so fitting with the majority of own people in Dominica today.

    No doubt, the corruptible is attracted by power in order to defend corruption.

    I Lougaoo Mem is a firm believer of an old quote by Bess Myerson. He said, “The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference.” And this has proven to be true with my people in Dominica.

    We all know that power corrupts, but actually, it’s more evident that power attracts the corruptible as in the case of our politicians today.

    Thank You!

    I have said it and I’ll say it again, all the allegations of lies, deception and corruption by our elected leaders, supported by privileged attorneys who are bent on safeguarding their interests, will only continue because of people we are.

    The day of reckoning is not too far in the distance for the culprits to be held accountable for their deeds. So help me God!

    Take warning God is watching and you may think you have gotten away but he has set you on a slippery path.

      Correction… You set yourself on that slippery path. God’s hand is there waiting for you to opt out.

      “Slippery” path is that of sin. Get it right before you spout this garbage using God as your lyrical shield.

      Straight and Narrow, difficult, trying… those are some examples of the paths.

      This Bush, is the same as all greedy men. They want all they see.

      Pls note, by greedy men, this applies to the women too. O_O.

    Here in this country we are celebrating corruption… No wonder we are such a darn poor and backward country… That’s what corruption does to a country and its people.

      @last ones left, well you can get away with this in Dominica. The British dont play with their territories.
