The recent cleanout of the vendors plying their trade behind Massy in Arnos Vale should be followed by a removal of those vendors plying their trade in Kingstown. The removal should be done in a manner that fosters communication, dialogue and timely action which is understood by all parties involved.

Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of…

The New Democratic Party (NDP) recognizes the right of St. Vincent and the Grenadines as a sovereign nation to maintain diplomatic relation with other sovereign nations of its choosing. However, The Unity labour Party (ULP) government has fashioned its foreign policy approach to reflect a personal, overly strident support of non-democratic regimes like Russia, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran, while ignoring our more traditional allies like the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, which are significant centres of the Vincentian Diaspora.This personalised foreign policy approach by the ULP government is reflected daily by the utterances of spokespersons for the government.…
Jomo Thomas The vexing issue of vending is headline news again. This follows the government’s dreadfully wicked and callous decision to direct its security forces to destroy the structures outside Massy Supermarket at Arnos Vale.

On top of their incompetent methods of trying to run the economy, the ULP regime have starved the SVG Treasury of revenue by giving away hundreds of millions of dollars in tax and customs duty exemption to the…
