My Thank You Jesus Prayer

THANK YUH JESUS foh sparing my life to see November 27th 2025, de day when dat wicked and evil ULP Administration was voted out of office.

And ah thank you Jesus, to let me live, to witness within one week after de Elec-shuns, de promised reinstatement of public servants, who for four years had lost dey jobs, salaries, pen- shuns etc foh refusing to take the Covid 19 vax-seen. Amen!

GET CRACKING ON DAT FREN-SICK ADD-IT NOW

Lie-Za is quite fascinated wid grampa’s predict- shuns dat NDP was going to win de elect-shun big-time, and it actually turned out to be ah land-slide 14-1 vic-tree; second to George Charles’ Eight Army’s 8-0 victory in 1951, and Sir James’ NDP’s 15-0 victory in 1989. The 2025 results is both shocking and humbling, ah very traumatic period foh de former Pry-minister now well placed as Leader of de Awe-position.

Now Lie-Za is still in her vic-tree glee, de good news is dat very early NDP hit de ground running. Election promise No 1 was to reinstate over 600 public servants who four years ago, had rejected a government- imposed COVID-19 Vax-seen Mandate for frontline workers. She troublesome eh, telling me grampa say to rub salt in de Come-Red wounds and tell him Mr Doyle say one-seat Ralph and One-vote Callus will mek an Awe-sum One-E Awe-position.

But de real salt in de Come-Red’s wound is grampa is recommending dat NDP move early wid ah full scale “Frensick Add-it” of de ULP’s twenty-five years or dey five-in-ah-row full term in Office. Every project must be investigated from de early days of Petro Caribe. Lie-za say dat was ah cash cow for party supporters.

NAH FORGET DAT CROSS COUNTRY ROAD

What went down wid de Cross Country Road.

Wasn’t $26 million allocated to that project, $13 million was part of a grant, while the other $13 M was part of a soft loan.

And de final stage was to begin in January 2008..

Dat was ah Brer Nancy story road, construct-shun was started from both ends: (start-um) from Troumaca to Rose Hall -3 kilometers at Leeward and (end-um) at Chester Cottage/Byrea on de Windward side. In 2008 Tie-One gave $2 million of de $ 4.7 million earmarked foh de Link (Middle-Um) to both ends. But de Road was never completed.

She keep saying is only ah Fren-sick- add could answer all dem questions!

In fact , she said: “ Is only ah Fren-sick add-It could tell we how deep is de Tie-One-Knees Fish Hook in we Gill.

She spoke so highly of dis Fren-sick Add-It dat ah had to go to Google to see way dis Fren-sick Add-it is all about.

First to begin wid, de name is Forensic Audit.

Google describes Forensic Audit and I quote: “ A detailed, investigative examination of financial records to uncover fraud, misconduct, or financial crimes, gathering evidence admissible in court, unlike regular audits that focus on overall financial statement fairness. Forensic auditors use specialized skills to find evidence of embezzlement, bribery, money laundering, and other irregularities, often working with legal teams and potentially acting as expert witnesses to prove financial wrong-doing beyond a reasonable doubt!” Dis country has had projects pon top ah projects but nobody ah-countah- bill-at-tea, break-fast or dinner. Is AIA to account for! Is G-O-Terminal plant in de North- East, de Volcano ran dem; den it move to de North-West but like neither side is de Best!

Something smell fishy wid de new Kingstown Port.

Is fe final cost $700M, $ 600M or $ 500M dollars.

We want to know de truth bout all dem projects.

Lie-za say leave all ah dat to Cummings, Leacock, Bramble and Shallow.

And ah must please tell our new Prime Minister Fry-dey, to have no discussion and no argument wid de former Pry-minister and his ULP Ministers. Let de awe-position leader hold his answers till de fren-sick add-it ready.

And in de meantime start construct-shun of ah new prison at Balliceaux. And wid dat is gone ah gone again.

One Love Bassy
