GOVERNMENT SEEKING COUNTRY'S BEST INTEREST

St. George’s, August 29, 2010 (GIS) – Grenada will know shortly whether a US100 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of China would be made available for the proposed Four Seasons’ project in the south of the island.

Finance Minister, Hon. Nazim Burke, anticipates a decision from Eximbank within a month or two. The Minister, speaking at a news conference on August 27, described the project as “viable.’’

“We’re satisfied that, on the basis of the terms and conditions that are being offered, it is a viable project,’’ said the Finance Minister, who at the time was also Acting Prime Minister.  He said all documentation has been submitted to Eximbank, which is evaluating the loan application.

VIEWPOINT: THE CASE FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
by Vincent Roberts
Vol. 1 No. 7
29 August - 04 September 2010

For thirteen years, Grenada was burdened with a government which showed little regard for the principles of good governance. Decisions and deals were made which were not always in the best interest of the nation.

The NDC in opposition criticized these actions and promised, not only to not repeat such actions, but to investigate and where possible prosecute all alleged wrong-doers.

A nation that purports to stand by the rule of law cannot have its public officials committing offences with impunity and then just ignore that behaviour because the prosecution department is busy or being overly cautious.

Even if the DPP was not busy, because of the independence of the office, he cannot be instructed at all.
