Have you looked around the other islands and realised that they are suffering badly from growing unemployment figures, declining tourism arrivals and in Barbados we have maintained unemployment around 10%; kept people working, provided a $25 million Tourism Relief Fund that people are singing the praises of – how it kept their bars and restaurants open in the slow season, one BLP hotelier raked in over $400,000.00 from that package, tourism arrivals are up 3.1% over the same period last year. Where among the other islands can any of them say the same compared to what we have achieved? Not one of them!
When I start to listen to that crew that raped Barbados for all that it was worth, that have NOT AN OUNCE OF CREDITABILITY, I too should be sent The Dodds Residence. To have built a prison that started out with locals providing a quote of US $67 million that was refused and to have selected a known group of crooks in VECO with a final cost of US$288 million. Then a road works project by an unsavoury character called Jonathan Danos who was introduced to Barbados by Messrs Steven Hobson and Hallam Nicholls.
With COW Williams and Rayside Construction doing all the work the government has a payment of $47 million paid to Jonathon Danos for what we don’t know. Then we have Tony Hoyos and Colin Brewer who operate nearly every shop at Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA). Is this the Hoyos who paid an entertainment allowance from taxpayers monies to workers of Hardwood Housing only redeemable at his restaurant the former Aqua?
The budget will come when it is ready to be delivered, Mia has to realise she lost the power she is so eager for. If the public knew on what basis work permits were issued in Barbados they would cringed! I have the names of a driver and a woman who if they were to sing…
I noticed that there is not a lot of talk about the foreign reserves, I guess it does not serve her purpose to state that they are healthy. Don’t be too quick to sing from her song sheet, ask her why it was when they were building the Coast Guard Station and found out it had a faulty design and were advised that it was a major problem, why was it not corrected so that the vessels could stay in port when conditions experienced incoming swells? To fix this problem was costed at US$25 million, something left for others to pay for.
My best advice to her is not to worry about the DLP but to worry about her own future as Owen continue to lurk.
There is a lot of very positive stuff happening:
- The offshore sector has been embraced, Invest Barbados is no longer a den of Mottley’s friends chilling out and collecting healthy salaries. Now Invest Barbados meets regularly with the local bodies and recently set up an Immigration Desk to assist business people with relocating and doing business in Barbados.
- Have you not noticed a serious settling down of matters pertaining to the QEH Hospital?
- Agriculture we have produced more food last year and this year than ever before.
- With housing guess have you not noticed how many ordinary Barbadians are moving into their own homes.
- Have you noticed the quality of the roads and drainage recently?
- The fact the Transport Board is being managed and despite the gloom and doom they continue to carry school children to school at no cost to parents?Have you been hearing about any issues at the Transport Board? Problems a thing of the past and not a single new bus provided purchased.
I did not ever touch on the issue of the slot machines which Riley, Nicholls, Johnson and Arthur brought thru the back door. Mottley should stop blowing hot air!
