POLITICS: NNP Way …
It is rather alarming how old Crooks continue to go on and continue to get recycled as new Masks & Titles get put on them.
Tony’s behavior and scandal in his Education leadership past is still fresh on our minds, Hard to forget or to ignore his ” Slick D*ck Tony ” nickname. WHY was this term even attached to him … swept under the table as is and as will be the MNIB scandal.
The Lady and the Master manipulator Mitchell are at it again; forces to cloud, deceive and to cover the corruption
Congratulations are in order for the newly elected. Looking forward under the leadership of OUR Honorable Dr. Mitchell as GRENAD’s economical structure CONTINUES TO EVOLVE in strength.
GOD BLESS GRENADA …..
