We cannot allow this government to continue leading our country in this direction. SVG needs a change. We need leaders in office who truly care about the ordinary Vincentian, not just themselves and their inner circle.
Right now, many families — especially in North Leeward — are struggling just to send their children to school. Parents are fighting to provide meals, transportation, uniforms, and basic needs. Life is getting harder, and the burden is falling on the people who can least afford it.
So how can anyone justify or defend one man making $40,000 every single month while ordinary citizens can barely survive? How can we call ourselves a fair, moral, and caring society when this is what we accept?
We should all be thanking Dr. Shallow for bringing these issues to light. Without this information, many would still be in the dark while suffering silently. Transparency is not an attack — it is a service to the people.
The reality is simple:
Parents are struggling. Families are suffering. The cost of living is rising. And while the majority fight to survive, a few continue to benefit at unbelievable levels. Those are the few Labour is working for — not the ordinary Vincentian.
This is not right.
This is not fair.
This is not governance for the people.
SVG deserves leaders who put the people first, who understand the struggles of ordinary Vincentians, and who are committed to lifting up families, not draining resources while others are hungry.
It is time for us to wake up, speak up, and demand better for our children and our communities.
Because if we continue to defend this foolishness, then the suffering will continue, and nothing will change.
SVG deserves leadership that truly cares.

This story is not new to me. I have lived in SVG for 13 years of my life since birth, worst than a church mouse. We were soo soo poor at Colonarie Village. And at the age of 13 thank God my dad who went to UK for a better life won some money on the foot ball and send for us. This is how I escaped the hard-knock-life in SVG. It’s not the government, it’s the mentality of the people. They need spiritual teaching. This is what happened to me in order to have a changed life. Regardless if a new government came into power, things will not change much. The people must change the way they think, for as a man thinks so is he or she.
