    The problem with these forum is they don't lack any propensity for verbal discourse but always fail to come away with any practical agenda for implementations.

    Why every overseas trip is the premier, why not the departments responsible for the type of activity. You can't attend every departments meeting. How are the departments going to run effectively if you are the one going to the conferences. Are the conferences for the Premier or for the respective departments? Shame on you

    Many have, and are saying that he travels to often.
    Anything to do with such he need to take the lead.
    How come when the former alledged crooked Premier travelled on similar issues that was accepted by so many mouth champions without criticism?
    Don't forget that the Premier is also the Minister of finance. This is not misused of our finances, but necessary effort to help increase finances.

    VIP mashup. NDP resolved. Support the Unity Government lead by Premier Natalio Sajande Wheatley. He inherited the vast majority of the problem that we are tag with.
    The past is gone. The present is now. The future will come. We must be willing to give the Premier and his team time to do the best that they can under the UK's pressure. Fault finders a not necessarily faults fault. fixers.

    When will this young man stop traveling all over on taxpayers money and not showing anything for these trips? It would seem as if that was why he was trying so hard to get in politics . How many parties. he went to before VI party. Now he is destroying it with his own party.

    VIP should be angry against the former Premier Andrew A. Fahie alledged crooked behaviours, not be bitter a the current Premier Natalio Sajande Wheatley.
