Reverend Khrystus Wallace made 1st Contribution that has been officially documented and printed for all attendees and set to be forwarded for further discussion among Organization of American States Ministers of Government: We are currently dealing with Generation Z where youths fearlessly speak openly in public or social media. However, there is a concern of retribution. When one stands up for their rights, it is only there and then one begins to get RESPECT. Governments in the Caribbean and around the world have to realize that they are dealing with a more educated youth population with access to media at their fingertips to break a story from anywhere at anytime. If one speaks out, their comments are circulated among government ranks and they are demoted. There is just far too much division amongst us as a small nation and small organizations. For the sake of a common goal, we should be able to come together and speak fearlessly about the issues hurting us. Until then, we can't expect any government or organization to respect us

Reverend Khrystus Wallace's suggestions to Organization of American States Governments:

1. Give the different youth groups in your country a monthly direct idea, question and answer session with the different Ministers of Government in their islands. Many youths are of the view that after politicians get elected, they become "GOD" in their own right and less accessible and very uncaring for the same people who elected them until 5 years come around again. We must demand respect from all politicians remembering THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT.

2. All Caribbean governments should develop APPS to conduct regular surveys to find out how people feel first hand about their performance and get public feedback so they can see if they have the love and favour of the people or if there is need for fresh elections. They can't just assume and use media propaganda

OAS Representative Terrence Craig loves the idea of The APP and Reverend Khrystus receieved strong support for governments to introduce more apps
