?Follow the money:? the new PUP way

Letters?Follow the money:? the new PUP way


That is what Ralph Fonseca certainly did as Minister of Budget Management and later as Minister of Finance ? he followed the money, wherever he could borrow it or get it. He sold off all the remaining assets we owned.


The 200 or so PUP supporters that borrowed a total of $190 million from DFC and now refuse to pay, also followed the money. They followed the money to DFC, and with little or no collateral or mere promissory notes, they got the money.


Michael Ashcroft and Barry Bowen and the other special interests have been following the money too, raking in hundreds of millions in profits and tax breaks over the past eight years, while the rest of us look on in disbelief.


And ?follow the money? is what Musa expects the voters to do on election day. But while his friends and cronies follow millions, the ordinary voters will get to follow a hundred or two.


Whatever happened to the motto of the George Price PUP? Does ?serve the people? ring a bell?



Sadly,
