CEPEP to fool fools

THE EDITOR: Some time ago an individual went in the Savannah and told some people that CEPEP was a tremendous success and at the same time created one hundred and something entrepreneurs doing the same thing from the same money tree.

What does CEPEP stand for? Is it Corrupt Employment Practices Engaging Peenemites? Has to be as we can see from the list of so-called entrepreneurs and the lame excuse offered by the person who keeps saying that it is a resounding success. For those persons who pass along the Eastern Main Road and know the tree that is called Bhadase tree in St Joseph which is on the southern side of Carlos John’s office as then member of parliament there is one of the entrepreneurs operating there. Some time ago they cleaned around the tree which is no bigger than a yard on one lot of land with a five-bedroom house.

They then planted lawn grass and sat after waiting for the grass to grow so that the entrepreneur could get work for the whacker man. With the hot sun and no water nearby the grass died. They have now planted something looking like flower plants about 30 in all and they are waiting for them to bloom. A next one in Sangre Grande went in somebody land, cleaned and put up so-called benches only to have the owner remove the illegal structure. Entrepreneurs! All you ever hear about a doubles vendor say business bad?
