Former Chief Immigration Officer Kenrick Hutson was shot dead while sitting on his patio last night. Our information confirms that he was 74 years old. It is easy for Barbadians to continue to cower in the shadows as our once stable and peaceful communities continue to erupt into hot spots. It seems commonplace in a modern Barbados when we read the newspaper, listen to the radio or watch the TV that there is some violent or criminal behaviour which we are being forced to confront. The sad thing is that Barbadians are sitting back and refusing to take charge of the type of Barbados which we want for our children. We continue to allow our politicians to implement policies which are so far disconnected from what we (Barbadians) as a people truly want.
- Yes we want to implement economic policies that will support our desire for a high standard of living. But not at the sacrifice of social development
- Yes we want to integrate with our regional brethren to ensure that we build a trade bloc which will guarantee maximum return in a world which has become infatuated with the phenomenon called globalization. But not at the expense of supporting domestic enterprise.
- Yes we have to have an immigration policy which allows for a free flow of labour between our islands to leverage against the human resources which lay in our region. But not at the expense of an efficient immigration policy.
