Didn’t this government campaign against citizenship by investment? I thought on their election campaign, they were talking against the program and the rallying for it to end… I am so confused now on how they are in love with it all of a sudden??????
Well look at this . To the people of Grenada your government is looking to get in the rich and kick out the poor i.e grenadians citizens your government don’t care a monkey’s about you lot and I feel sorry for you citizens of Grenada all your government wants his money money money to put in his back pocket this is your pm as he said live on TV he says you don’t like poor he hates the poor so you just look at what he’s doing to you he’s slapping you in the face stand up to him because all these getting is the rich in and kicking you lot out the poor out .
This is a kind of government you want to run your country is slapping the face of the poor citizens of Grenada Mark my words you’re gonna have more rich and famous people in your country and at the end of the day are you poor people are going to lose out sort of rich my words.
Hmmmmmm……
When were Grenadians kicked out? The treatment of poor people isn’t something that just started under this government. Also, many countries including the USA have similar programs to gain citizenship (by investment) but they are not called “CBI.” This isn’t a new or special program in the world.
