Where’s Mr Entrepreneurial Nose?

By Patrick Ferrari

Anyone,

Where is or what has become of the sycophantic “Mr. Entrepreneurial Nose?” The in-our-face, big mouth politicking Guyanese, Captain Gerald Gouveia, who was all over the place — and the Prime Minister — in the run-up to Feb. 14?

He seems to believe that he has the inside track on everything business and Vincentian, to the point of denigrating “the Vincentian private sector,” pronouncing their business sense, “unfortunate”. Damn fresh and out of place. He said that he was “not aware,” — of their unfortunate business sense — so but somebody must’ve made him “aware”.

He has his fingers in so many airlines, where is he and them today? Wasn’t he with his band of Cuban shoppers going to make AIA — and St. Vincent and the Grenadines?

I repeat, I know these things take time but Beache (who in 2012 had had everybody in the bag — or so he said) has been at it for six, seven years and at the opening, Gouveia’s ball was already rolling. It is like
