full of hypocrites...give me a break....sk is slowly becoming a quasi-dictatorship with doulas as the despot. u live in a so called democracy...therefore, the media a a fudiciary repsonsibility to report the news. ZIZ is a waste, controlled by the Government. Thanks WinnFm for reporting both sides.
beejay

Hope when they get the money they donate it to Haiti

Isn't this competition sponsored by LIME? Why weren't the winners paid directly from the sponsor's money, rather than having to wait on the sinking ship
confused

Mr. FED UP WITH HYPOCRITES, where else can anyone go to air their views. I would like you to tell me. Certainly not ZIZ, Douglas and Labour Radio Station. Just remember, Winn FM is the peoples station. I will be waiting to get your answer Mr Fed up.
AH WAITING FOR DE ANSWER

The carnival committee is not part of government. Big Lice has a right to open up the box. Whether or not it was an election year this has nothing to do with the prize giving. If the ceremony is going to be delayed notify everyone. All of a sudden everything that is wrong in this country is right. No wonder labour is in power. What happen to the US50,000 LIME gave to them. Too much politics in the carnival no wonder it is not getting any better.
ashamed

Of course they have not been payed yet...This was election season..The prize giving ceremony hasn't even been held as yet but still you all blame labour....clowns you all are

dont tell me that de carnival money gone english .

Any thing goes in St. Kitts! Look out for even stranger things. Nothing surprises me anymore in this place. Wrong has become right and right wrong in this place.All vices are acceptable now.
Disillusioned

It is no secret that the Government has a cash flow problem. The Government depends heavily on overdraft spending. At the same time, the Government is using every source of income to pay down its overdraft. No doubt the money from the Calypso was put in the consolidated fund. Good luck getting it out fellows! The same thing is now happening to contractors who perform CDB and other projects. The Government pays the money from the funding agencies towards the overdraft and keep contractors waiting
