Dr. Tennyson Joseph UWI Lecture: Any cook can govern
In reply to pelon
Will give it a listen later. Earlier this year he wrote an article in the Barbados Nation on the same subject. I do not recall all the details but he did bring to the attention of the Caribbean public the recent decision of the St. Lucia government to outsource it's budget preparation to an accounting firm. The mind boggles.

Interesting - that's a play on the the name of C.L.R. James' classic -Every Cook Can Govern.
Will listen tonight.

I have just checked it , Thanks Very Much . I found it very interesting that the Prime Minister of St. Lucia
has given Ernst & Young the Authority to deal with the Budget of St. Lucia .
Dr. Joseph's comparison between Donald Trump & the Prime Minister of St. Lucia very Telling .
