My point as well and an overlooked key item in a democracy as State of Grenada. The other evident point is how all of the side money is ever to get reported ? It is not. When private jets arrive in the middle of the night or tycoons like Charles C. Liu get to arrive via Airport VIP Lounge to avoid Customs: with two handed briefcases full – is that to ever be declared ? Surely not.
That should be public knowledge and audited annually.
