ABLP Puts PR Before Plans: He Believes That We Believe His BS

The ABLP administration has the record for the greatest percentage of failed projects anywhere in the world.

Not necessarily that they are the worst performers in the world, but because of their strategy of putting Public Relations before Plans.

Whereas rational governments include PR as part of their Plans, Gaston Browne begins with PR, as his team scrambles to come up with a workable Plan.

Look at the water situation. Burford actually provides a weekly update on water, or as many would say, “the lack thereof.” And every week, the dates change, the strategies change the plans change. When the PR is more reliable than water supply, it means that we have entered a whole new realm of BS.

We see the same thing playing out with Jolly Beach. Gaston Browne begins with a big announcement that he has to retract because the announcement was premature. Then he repeats it as he scrambles to get a plan in place.

Again, whereas rational governments conduct due diligence before making an announcement, Gaston Browne puts the @cart before the horse” or as young people say @ass-backwards.”

We see a similar situation developing with LIAT, where Gaston Browne is preempting his PM colleagues in making pronouncements about the future of LIAT, before solid plans are in place. Let’s see where this one ends up.

Based on this pattern, it is not surprising that Gaston Browne has had over 15 ground breakings or as the UPP has coined a phrase that I like “ground fakings.”

I truly believe that Gaston Browne believes in the phrase “Fake it Till You Make It.” But my humble advice to Gaston Browne is “Boss, You’ve Already Made it and We Get it.” When Gaston Browne Makes a statement, count to 10, maybe 100 and wait for the next shoe to drop.

Gaston is full of GAS in name and nature. Sadly, he Believes that We Believe His BS.

Humbly,

Sunbeam
