Vote PNM - get shafted

The PNM government moves with extreme haste - in matters where PNM cronies can benefit. So we have a tsunami shelter going up post haste, a rapid rail project contract signed mere days before an election... you see where I am going with this...

On the other hand, when it comes to matters involving people opposing the PNM, crapaud smoke yuh pipe. So we have the Maha Sabha taking over 3 years to obtain a radio licence (PNM supporter Lee Sing got his in 2 days, right?), even though they applied several months before Lee Sing.

CJ Sharma is suspended forthwith, on allegations, whereas a commission of inquiry ruled that Chief Magistrate is guilty of misconduct but he is still sitting on the bench.

And now we have an act of law, passed in 2000 takes 7 years and has to be forced by the Privy Council. I am speaking of the Equal Opportunity Act. Yesterday, the Privy Council basically told the PNM government to stop making excuses and get on with it.

The long and short of it is that while the government discriminates against the citizens, it still expects the votes from the ones being shafted.
