What was the annual fee paid to TM and other non-executive directors as members of the CLICO BOD?

Dear Minister of Finance, Barbadians have a significant amount of cash, with the recent acquisition/majority acquisition of BS&T/LPH, and need additional investment opportunities. You need money to reduce the GOB debt. I suggest that you reorganize the ports (air and sea) into one corporate entity and sell 49%, retaining 51%, ownership to Barbadians (individuals and companies).

Only a DLP supporter would believe the MOF, you and I know that he’s a blasted liar.
I do not know reason why Marshall’s contract was not renewed, but even if what you explained is the reason, I still don’t like the damn idiot.

@ David

I am unclear exactly what your stance is. So it is ________ for someone to air a grievance in the public domain instead of first going through the proper channels because of the perceived problems of said channels?

Efficient or effective are not words I would use to fill that blank. Almost reminds me of the Alexandra dispute. By the way, you have to wait quite a long time in the queue before you get a chance to air your grievance on the call in programme. This makes sense?

Do people want to solve a problem or just complain?

Why did the cloak of the ‘lodge’ not protect Marshall? Is it that the mythical power of the brotherhood is just that, a myth? Perhaps Marshall was tossed to the wolves?

So what happened?

@When
When is The PM going to address the Alexandra STAGE II..teachers say they are fed up of the no action plan?
When is the Hon Bobby Morris doing to have a fishing agreement in place ? The fishermen say their are no longer risking their lives to supply bajans with flying fishes.
When is poor Mr.Barrack going to get his money ? He gets greyer each day and more and more frail…Is that the plan ?
When are the LIME workers woes going to be addressed ? They want their bit of the $Millions profits boasted by lime last year.
When are the poor CLICO policyholders going to receive their monies ?…more and more old people are dying each day needlessly ?
When is justice going to be served to LEBOY and Mona Lisa ?
When is the PM going to read the JM Report that cost $8.3 Million so far and showed the dead king’s involvement in money mis-appropiating ?
When is the PM going to acknowledge that the St.John sitting member cannot justly do so, if the Integrity Legislation is to be taken seriously ?

WHEN OH WHEN…will SOMETHING be done right BY this administration FOR ONCE…that Barbadians can hold their heads high once more..and not feel the HIGH COST of living pinches as well as the embarrassment and disgrace of this corrupted government.

The BU household congratulates Dr. Justin Robinson who has been elevated to Chairman of NIS Board to replace Tony Marshall. Best wishes are also extended to Wismar greaves who is a former Supervisor of Insurance and recently retired head of Insurance Corporation of Barbados (ICB).

‘No dispute’ Minister Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo. (FP) By Maria Bradshaw | Sun, March 18, 2012 – 12:09 AM
Former chairman of the National Insurance Board, Keith “Tony” Marshall, did not have a dispute with the Minister Responsible For Social Security Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo over the proposed $60 million investment by the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) in the beleaguered Four Seasons project.
Minister of Labour Byer-Suckoo strongly denied the allegation of a row yesterday as she maintained that Marshall’s contract had expired.
“Absolutely not!” she said of the charge. “There was never a dispute. His term expired – he served his term.”
She said she had had a “cordial relationship” with Marshall, a retired banker and prominent talk show host, for many years.

“The BU household congratulates Dr. Justin Robinson who has been elevated to Chairman of NIS Board to replace Tony Marshall.”

Maybe he took my advice and overthrew the fumbling marshall.

Tony Marshall was only one of the Board of Directors of Clico and Baico. I believe it is very opportune and good for Barbados and all Barbadians that the Government recognised that the circumstances required Mr Marshall’s contract as Chairman of our mega million NIS fund not to be renewed. HOWEVER: given the “infelicities” (if i may borrow Leslie Haynes Q.C. delicate terminology for money laundering) perhaps Haynes Q.C. can comment on the princple of collective governance and responsibility of any Board of Directors………..especially as Haynes Q.C. was Senior Counsel to the Boards of Clico and Baico……and perhaps the same legal gentleman can explain why he and the others resigned with such alacrity;
sincerely……more, much more….. later!!
