Prime Minister David Thompson to Address Barbadians

Prime Minister David Thompson is scheduled to address the nation tonight (30 September 2010) at 7 PM in his first press conference since confiding details of his illness to Barbadians.  To opine that Barbadians at home and abroad will be tuned-in is probably an understatement. Since assuming office Thompson in the opinion of BU has been the most accessible Prime Minister to both public and media. It is well known ordinary Barbadians email the Prime Minister daily who is a Blackberry addict and get replies!

The government has been criticized in recent weeks for its indecision regarding how the economy is being managed. Even before the Prime Minister’s illness it was rumoured a reshuffle was in the offing. Tonight we may find out despite Senator Branford Taitt’s warning to the party if Thompson will anoint a heir apparent given his handicap.  Word on ‘underground’ contrary to the recent CADRES poll points to a healthy interest in the job by Minister David Estwick.

Let us wait and see how the next chapter in Barbados politics unfold.

    It was a very interesting cabinet reshuffle.I believe that the future leadership of the Democratic Labour Party was revealed at that reshuffle.
    The elevation of Chris Sinckler to the Ministry of Finance & Economic Affairs is a clear sign that he is being groom as the future leader of the party.Remember when a young David Thompson was given the Ministry of Finance by the then Prime Minister Erskine Sandiford.
    I am of the opinion that the cabinet of Barbados is too large and even though some ministries were amalgamated into other ministries,the cabinet is still too large and some of the dead weight in the cabinet should have been removed.
    Harry Husbands former Minister of State in Prime Ministers Office with responsibility for Immigration & Social Partnership.Immigration has been taken from him, he is only a Minister for Social Partnership – a waste of a ministry & wastage of taxpayers money in paying a salary to him as a minister.Jepter Ince former Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for financial matters is now a parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs – another waste as a minister.I believe both of them should have been removed from the cabinet of Barbados.
    Patrick Todd my favourite MP in this government has been shifted in every reshuffle.He was Junior Minister to Dennis Lowe when Dennis Lowe was the Minister of Social Care.He was then shifted as a Junior Minister again to the Ministry Of Education & Human Resources.In the previous reshuffle,he was shifted to the Ministry Economic Affairs as Dr Estwick Junior Minister and now in this reshuffle,he has been shifted again as another Junior Minister in the Ministry of Housing,Lands,Urban & Rural Development.I believe that Patrick Todd has the ability to be a Senior Minister in any Ministry in Barbados. If Esther Byer-Suckoo can be a Senior Minister in a Barbados cabinet with her limited ability,then I see no reason why Patrick Todd a gentleman with much more ability than Esther Byer -Suckoo can not be made a Senior Minister in Barbados.
    I am fairly satisfied with the changes and I agree with JC,that Dr David Estwick should show more maturity and take up his position as Minister of Agriculture with the enthusiasm he has shown as Minister of Economic Affairs.I do not think Dr Estwick should feel ashamed or be aggrieved by being shifted from the Economic ministry to his present position.All the ministries are vital for sustainability of Barbados and if he has the interest of Barbadians & Barbados at heart,he would performed his duties in his new ministry with fervent enthusiasm Barbadians have come to expect from Dr Estwick.

    To all you BLP haters on this blog. The Prime Minister s not resigning. He is fighting the battle with pancreatic cancer. He has a competent set of young person’s around him who have done well in keeping the government functioning as against the gloom and doom by the BLP opposition. I have not seen any deterioration of things in Barbados to the extent of persons that the government is doing nothing. The BLP left the country in shambles and now want persons to believe they have all the answers after just two years in opposition.

    Sure David, point taken. However, I believe that it was Commissioner Durant (not too sure, memory failing!)who once said that his “hands were tied” pertaining to some issue with the Force, perhaps this might be a similar instance.
    Remember the funds must be provided to the RBPF from the GOVERNMENT for them to carry out various projects. Therefore if there are no funds provided then the “hands may be tied” again!

    My heart really goes out to Prime Minister Thompson, his wife, children and extended family as they battle this challenge they currently face. It hurt deeply when I heard him lastnight, and I pray God’s grace and peace on him and family.

    However, there are other matters for consideration, and among them:
    Does anybody have a comment to make on the fact that President of the Senate, and DLP Stalwart said words to the effect that PM Thompson should NOT be allowed to select/groom a successor for the Prime Ministership neither should there be any hint or suspicion of any “king-maker” group clandestinely making appointments for replacement P.M. ?
    He said that such procedures should be subjected to the normal democratic processes of the party.

    Also, I see no value in Mr.Estwick holding a press conference. Maybe he is doubly riled up because of the fact that Senator Jepter ” Mr. Physical Deficit” Ince, the man who appeared to be part of a clandestine effort to replace him as a candidate for the St.Philip West Constituency, is now “ahead” of him as understudy to Mr.Sinckler in a ministry that Estwick had his heart steadfastly set on!

    So for the Fourth Time in less than three years – we have yet another DLP reshuffle of Ministers.

    So the tours will start again, so too the hand shakes; the talk and new promises. Letterhead will have to be changed, vehicles repainted and new chairs ordered for ministers (more cost to taxpayers).

    The Boards will have to be changed, the country will still be in recession with a serious fiscal crisis on the current account. All now the IMF is packing to return to Bay Street.

    Mean while, cost of living will increase so too crime and more will lose their jobs.

    One question: giving the findings of the recent Wickham Poll, how does this the DLP 4th Cabinet reshuffle address the concerns of Barbadians (unemployment, crime, cost of living, the economy)

    “I don’t know how many other folk noticed it, but I could not believe my eyes when I saw a photo in the Nation News this morning online showing the PM’s house with a member of The ROYAL Barbados Police Force (RBPF) sitting out in the YARD under a tree supposedly on security detail. In this day and age? Really?? Could better accommodation not have been provided for this officer, a professional in his own right? Or is he viewed as “only a policeman”, in other words a 2nd class citizen?”

    It’s late in the day for you to realise that in our corrupt society policemen get no respect. That is why when I was a boy and anyone asked me whether I was going to be a policeman, like my father, he would ask them whether they thought he was raising a nincompoop.

    Wouldn’t it have been a nice touch to have provided a portable toilet, since I doubt that the Thompsons would allow the policeman to shit in their privy, but I guess DT was too busy to think of something as fundamental as that!

    One question: giving the findings of the recent Wickham Poll, how does this the DLP 4th Cabinet reshuffle address the concerns of Barbadians (unemployment, crime, cost of living, the economy)”

    Albert Hirschman had this to say in the preface to his book “The Rhetoric of Reaction”:

    “Curiously the very stability and proper functioning of a well-ordered democratic society depend on its citizens arraying themselves in a few major (ideally two) clearly defined groups holding different opinions on basic policy issues….As the process feeds on itself, each group will at some point ask about the other, in utter puzzlement, and often with mutual revulsion, “How did they get to be that way?”.

    When I read the contributions on my BLP friends I become even more convinced that despite the difficulties in the organisation and functioning of the Right Excellent EWB’s great party that appear from time to time it maintains a legitimacy in the instutional development of Barbados that people on the other side cannot claim!

    And, in response to ANU(S)’ posing of the following question:

    “Does anybody have a comment to make on the fact that President of the Senate, and DLP Stalwart said words to the effect that PM Thompson should NOT be allowed to select/groom a successor for the Prime Ministership neither should there be any hint or suspicion of any “king-maker” group clandestinely making appointments for replacement P.M. ?
    He said that such procedures should be subjected to the normal democratic processes of the party.”
    I say that Brandford Taitt is absolutely right! I would have hoped that our party had moved beyond the antiquated process of private anointing, which should be roundly condemned in any society that prizes the ideal of open democratic functioning of its institutions.

    Howdy do, to you BP. But allow me to, please, ask you a silly question.
    Do you think that as part of the security detail (protection) for the PM that the police officer should be so exposed to all and sundry as well as exposed to the elements. Or is it that you, too, believe that, “he is only a cop”? I thought you were the mother of a cop, BP?

    Jumping to conclusions is not good since they tend to jump on you. How do you know of his work conditions? Did you ever stop to think that maybe the cop was taking a break? Or maybe just relaxing? Exposed to the elememts? stupseeeeee.
    And what does my being the mother of a cop have to do with anything? He NEVER discusses his work details with anyone at home. NEVER. He’s very professional at all times. Once he was working at Gov.t house and I asked him if they don’t get tired standing there for 8 long hours and he just said that one person doesn’t stand for 8hrs. straight. End of discussion. He in na ‘lick-mout’ body. Never was. LOLLLLLLLLLLL

    But off topic, I know one of those youngsters that was held for the RBTT bank at 6 Rds. I know him to be such a quiet fella that i almost went into shock when I saw his face in today’s news. Ron, such a quiet lad. stupseeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    RavinCravenRaven, re. your post at 4.15pm.
    I don’t understand what you are trying to say. How can you say that the DLP maintains a legitimacy in the institutional development of the country that the other party cannot claim and then go on to say; “I say that Brandford Taitt is absolutely right! I would have hoped that our party had moved beyond the antiquated process of private anointing, which should be roundly condemned in any society that prizes the ideal of open democratic functioning of its institutions”.

    As I see it Brandford Taitt was obviously talking to his party, the DLP. The DLP, through the Prime Minister, has just all but anointed a successor, precisely the situation that Brandford Taitt appeared to have been attempting to forestall. How does that jibe with your earlier statement? The logic doesn’t seem to be quite right.

    Care to check the logic and repost?

    Please give the P.M a break, he has enough on his plate already. The house he lives at in St. Philip is like an open house for many. I guess now because of his illness, there is extra security but the folks in Sandford/Mapps are like one big family. All that that police officer was doing is enjoying the hospitality of the Thompsons.

    I agree with Bonny Peppa that one should not jump to conclusions on the conditions the police guard is operating under at the PM’s residence based only on a picture of a small portion of the house and its environs. I think it may however be legitimate to ask if any modifications are being made to the house to host the occasional Cabinet meeting in the future.

    I mean what I said. All the persons who are on the blog who support the BLP and hate David Thompson as evidence by their vicious, nasty, ridiculous and insensitive comments of a sick man.
    You supporters are so spiteful and vindictive that you are now saying that David Thompson and family are so uncaring that they have a police officer sitting in chair in the sun, not knowing if the man chooses to sit there.
    Since David Thompson moved into Illaro Court the Police Guard hut has been improved after Owen Arthur’s fourteen years.

    David,

    Tried to post this morning before going off to earn a dollar, but here goes now:

    The Owen / Mia issue is to me, not. I really doubt that Owen has re-designs on the PM’ship at this time. If you notice, the BLP attack is a group one, in which Owen is participating in full. Hence, he has been brought on board for the work to be done.

    That means that there is an agreement, I suspect that he will agree to support Mia, in the hope that after the next election, IF they manage to win, he will get the GG’ship.

    On another issue, one MAJOR matter that has been brought to light here, is that all roads lead to the PM.

    This is not new, indeed it came from the days of Barrow, Adams right down to current structure.

    The former PM said it himself, that all roads lead to the PM.

    This has multiple impacts, in assessment of decisions and in the ‘final’ decision and also results in a Minister being reticent to making serious statement and actions, without the prior ‘approval’ of the PM.

    Not only is this cumbersome, but it can also lead to perceived incompetence if a Minister is not talking or does not appear to make a decision, particularly if he is acting in a position, far more if he is an appointee, rather than an elected MP, get my drift?

    As such, an ailing leader is a serious thing, but Ministers must have the gumption to take action and work with Cabinet as a whole, to take responsibility where necessary.

    But, in the long run has this taught us a lesson? Should Cabinet, in of itself face more emphasis, less the PM? Rather than the administration being fully of the current PM?

    This is a difficult question, particularly as world governments caertianly all follow this approach i.e. the ‘Cameron’ government, the ‘Obama’ administration etc.

    But, surely Ministers can understand and act on the known philosophy of the current government and act accordingly, take responsibility within those parameters?

    Barbados is still a stable democratic country.

    The PM may way want or try to groom a successor but ultimately,a PM will be chosen by the elected members of the winning party in the next election.

    Thats how it is done in Barbados.

    By Mia’s own admission the situation which our PM and Barbados finds itself is a unique one, therefore to speak in absolutes is tricky. Interesting to listen to Dr. George Bell on the radio today who opined that the PM conceivably could run the country from his bed if he wanted assuming his mental faculties are alert.

    Barbadians will be forced to choose between the lesser of two evils- Mia Mottley or Owen Arthur. Since Mia is the greater of the two evils, we can agree Owen will be the next prime minister.

    Mia has never been PM. how do u know she is the lesser of 2 evils? whenever that time comes I WOULD BE voting for her

    Prime Minister David Thompson continues to shift around the talent in his Government. This will ensure that the SS Barbados stays afloat in these turbulent economic seas, also he is bringing new perspectives to the various Ministries which will redound to the benefit of the country. Shifting around his Ministers will have the added benefit of reassuring the Bajan public that honesty and transperency is prevailing in this Democratic Labour Party Government.

    The Prime Minister is making sure that there is no corruption in his administration such as we remember from the last Barbados Labour Party administration. Barbados Labour Party Ministers held positions for very long periods of time and as a result they plundered the Barbados treasury storing their ill gotten gains in secret overseas bank accounts.

    I am very happy with the PM’s reshuffle.

    That spin is not going to work.
    Owen Arthur said that Mia would not be a good leader and he has not retracted that statement yet therefore he could never become GG under Mia.
    I think that most of the BLP supporters want Owen to be leader again because Mia surely will not win the government for the BLP. The DLP must pass integrity legislation when the parliament reconvenes so that any corrupt politicians can be placed where those arsonist are.
    Chris Sinckler will energize the DLP as Minister of Finance. He is a dynamic speaker and very political. As you would recognize bajans love talkative politicians. Case in point Freundel Stuart got a poor grade as acting Pm because he kept silent too long. He should be in the limelight every week saying anything as Mia and Owen often does even if they are saying nothing.

I have over ten years experience as a detective in that country’s Financial Investigation Unit. I am very interested in investigating the corruption of the BLP administration, that you and a few other bloggers so often write about.

    Can you please direct me to any evidence or supporting documentation, such as the amounts stolen from the Treasury, the names of the banks and the account numbers where these secret accounts are, names of the persons involved, some paper trail… anything…. just give me something to start with and I will assist your DPP.

    If the country had integrity and freedom of information legislation in place over the past years you would not be here tonight bluffing.
    In Trinidad Basdeo Panday was put in Prison for not declaring a London bank account he had.
    There is integrity legislation and freedom of information legislation in Trinidad. It seems that some of the DLP parliamentarians do not want this legislation and they will be voted out for that. They promise they will do it and they have to do it.
    If by chance Owen had to become Pm again the media would not be afraid of his constant law suit threats.

    That was the point I was trying to make. The jurisdiction that you studied and worked in allowed for freedom of information to be given to the average citizen who wants to find out about anything. I f not say so. Here in Barbados for all the years under both parties none of them saw fit to place freedom of information on the statue books because most of them are frauds.
    Now in the US some of them would be in prison.
    MR. Deschappé this is a small society and people talk about the persons at the lower levels who get kick backs for favours can you imagine what happens at the highest levels.
