Has our country transformed in ways that will make returning Vincentians proud or marvel at foreigners visiting for the first time? Last month, the government borrowed an additional $23 million for port development, despite claiming it had saved $20 million by allowing the dredging of sand locally rather than importing it.

Kingstown is unattractive; different locations, which we refer to as towns, have not shown signs of development since independence in 1979.
