What CARICOM leaders should have said at the UN
Oct 02, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - THE persistent sucking sound of beneficiary dependents who appear to have no intention of being weaned, and who don't seem to want to grow up and assume responsibility for themselves, could be heard at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week.
That, unfortunately, appears to be the mindset and policy of most Caricom states whose leaders used the occasion of the General Assembly, which provides an audience of global political leadership, to continue to ask for aid or to be reclassified among the world's poor countries.
It's embarrassing, to say the least. For our leaders' whining is tantamount to an adult saying I cannot make it in life, please treat me as a child.
