News that some TT$400m-plus are gonna be squandered on building new stadia are, to me, in the face uff of all that's been happening uff of late, more shocking than the vibrations recently felt in Chile and Haiti.
Over and over again we've seen how, out uff of what's budgeted for public works and contracts, the greater portion is siphoned uff off and into pockets uff of friend and cronies.
Furthermore, seeing as it could cost Minister Hunt over TT$2m for his Hasely Crawford Stadium erection thingy, one may also surmise that, uff of the proposed TT$400m-plus, at least half will go to those who, undeservedly, hunt for their portion uff of the public largesse.
All told, then, when one puts the stadia expenditure in perspective, one may only surmise that $400m for stadia...$7m for Haiti, it's legitimate to ask uff of a government which beats its chest in claiming it cares: "Where is the love?"
Someone has to stop the man madly, momentarily, manning things! Kamla! Jack! We're ready to rumble!
Say when! [See: http://mangochatnee.blogspot.com/2010/02/beyond-silent-lambs.html]
