Despite all the assurances given by the Fair Trading Commission and the Nation newspaper, who way back in December promised to print full list of winners ‘soon’, absolutely nothing has appeared. And to add insult to injury, guess what is again appearing in the Nation Newspaper today (Sunday 15th March 2008), the Barbados Lucky Numbers ‘WIN $10,000 TODAY!’ with the same ‘winning number 0083526’. The Operator, Opera Interactive (Barbados) Ltd, whose parent company in the United Kingdom was implicated and found guilty in over 20 blatant breaches of regulations involving the defrauding of millions of Pounds Sterling, also gave written assurance to the FTC that they would print the winners.
Is our Fair Trading Commission a joke?
The last communication I had from a Government agency, was a letter typed on 13 February 2008, but not mailed or received until last week from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Commerce, stating ‘I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated December 14, 2007 and wish to advise you that your complaint has been referred to the Fair Trading Commission for appropriate action’. Signed A.R. Nicholls, For Permanent Secretary
How can any credible regulatory body allow this situation to continue?
