The calypsonian Bodyguard has a controversial song about individuals in high positions on State boards, Government ministries, private enterprises and so on, who have submitted false qualification certificates to get the jobs. This is all well and fine, Mr Bodyguard, but during the period 2000 to 2010 I used to hear a lot of talk about the nepotism and "who know who" practice of the PNM. All you needed was a PNM party card to get any big job, contract, high position etc.
I wonder if Mr Bodyguard ever sang about that?
