The DLP had a meeting in St. Michael for five constituencies and it is reported that only 130 persons attended total for all five constituencies. Now compare that to the BLP Dwight Sutherland’s St. George South Branch meeting held on Sunday the 25th March at St.Luke’s Brighton Skills Training Centre which featured Opposition Deputy Leader Dale Marshall and former political leader Mia Mottley where over 100 persons attended.
What is happening in St. George South is beginning to happen all over Barbados as the election grows near, finally the people of St. George South will get the kind of representation they deserve in these challenging times from its BLP candidate Dwight Sutherland. Dr. Suckoo has “not” served the people of St. George South well, and she has done a “poor” job as Minister of Labour. The labour force in Barbados and the people of St. George South want more that seeing their representative “cheesing in the newspaper every day” saying and doing absolutely nothing tangible for her constituency in St.George South, or bajan people.
Bajans are starting to see through the smoke screen of poor governmental leadership and under performance coming from the current DLP administration and does like Dr. Suckoo. To make matters worse our nation is suffering from a “PM LEADERSHIP CRISIS” which no one is talking about but many Bajans know it, including some DLP supporters. I call him the “Accidental PM”, which may be a good title for a book or movie after he is out of office, but in “these times” with “these challenges” PM Stuart is not the “one” to lead Barbados.
Fortunately, Bajans are beginning to understand that the current DLP has “NO” socio-economic strategic vision for Barbados, NONE AT ALL. The DLP slogan of “they are trying to build a society” in the midst of an economic crisis is simply “pure nonsense”, and you don’t need to be an economist to know that (mark my words that slogan is going to come back to bit the DLP). The best evidence to date of this lack of a strategic vision is the 2012-2013 Barbados Budget Estimates. The DLP budget shows NO evidence of the kind of comprehensive fiscal vision needed to slow our growing national fiscal deficit, it does nothing to get government expenditures under control, and adversary impacts economic growth.
“MAN CALL THE ELECTION, YA KILLING WE”
@Senator Irene Sandiford-Garner. if this is the Senator, let me first commend you for coming and stating your view.
i however have to as you a question if you would permit.
“There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for taking some person to the hospital and walking away and not coming back. Especially when you sleep under their roof and draw and spend money that the government cannot get from you. NONE!!! We have the documentation and social survey for every single one.”
while there should be NO EXCUSE, what are you doing to curb this problem and seeing as you said, “We have the documentation and social survey for every single one” is there a plan to go after these family members who conduct this practice? stopping pensions can’t be the only thing.
also you said “What I can advise is that it is sometimes pointless engaging in battles of the conscience against opponents who are unarmed.”
would it not be better if you, the politician, cabinet member and member of the DLP member arm these same people with facts rather that pull them down with some if the comments you made?
remember at the end of the day, we are all Barbadians.
David (not BU)
U should terminate your comments to the Sen. with the words “With Respect …”
This is a job for the annuaki……wait he gone cricket ? Annuaki they want you in dis Court.
@ Irene Sandiford-Garner | March 30, 2012 at 9:05 AM |
“Black people come from a heritage of nurturing elders. Some of us still acknowledge our ancestors in everything we set out to do.”
Your personal name “Irene’ means “Peace” so I come to you in like manner.
But you must think before you make statements like the one quoted above. Not only is it stupid and ill-informed but bordering on being racist.
From since when have black people been living on average in their 80’s and 90’s? This is a recent phenomenon among blacks because of very good public heath facilities and resources, physically demanding but not back-breaking slave work and improved diet made up primarily of natural foods not bereft of nutrition.
Don’t you think the Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Native Americans and even Europeans also have a heritage of nurturing their elders and even revering them?
But more to the point; you have already been advised about whispering in the ear of one of your colleagues regarding the Public Workers Cooperative Credit Union alleged infelicities. Now do a similar thing to the minister responsible for Social Care and you don’t have to go far to advise your boss.
Let them remove the financial incentives from the perpetrators of this contemptible and immoral act. Stop the payment of pensions when such cases come to light. Unless the abandoned folks have given power of attorney to these abusers then the law could be used to recover any pension monies converted to their personal use and gain. It can be argued that if such incentives to exploit the elderly who are in care in a public institution are removed from the reaches of those opportunistic abusers the incidence of abandonment on purely selfish materialistic grounds would be greatly reduced.
Peace, my sister in love and care of the revered elders (one an adult twice a child)!
Reel and come again Miller….
Now, some of us were privy to catch wind of a DT 20-20 in October,( along with other celebrations) in the honor of you know who’s Birthday……(national hero status just so) costing in the vicinity of $3 million,…..tell me if that money could not buy and refurbish some nice urban two storey building (of which there are many) to house those abandoned
at the QEH ? Couldn’t some of that money for the constituency councils,,(really what they do except promote football tournaments) be spent in housing the elderly.We really have a confusion of priorities with this Government’s expenditure budget . Too much wastage on things of a party,party nature.We copying too much from Trinidad and Tobago but Kellman still can’t provide no fish..Cheezon.

Mark Williams (barber),Onions wid you on this one boy !
Onions and miller have all the an swers but where were your voices before it is obvious that your political agenda has gotten in the way of confronting a longstanding problems which started long before the DLP took office where was all the outcry then and hence keep calling for the DLP to do it all in four years is ridiculous when the BLP had forteen years to care of issues such as elderly care.
This is a political blog island girl and not everthing said would be in agrement some things might be even repetitive but for those who have read enough you can easily scroll by.
So ac? because nothing was done about it in the 14 years you speak to mean that nothing should be done now? i would think that you fix the problem and be able to say this problem was there for 14 long years and did nothing, in 4 short years we fit it.
that could rally persons to support (DLP) you but of course you would have to know what to do.
How the HELL this administration could so covertly incumber this country to a PIPELINE natural gas negotiation from Trinidad to here.. without airing publicly the COST ???
All the DLP ‘s spokes people on the call in program on VOB could only say …there is a rental cost ???Mr.PM we would like to know this cost.We need figures….talk about Integrity…Accountability….what will be the estimated cost then.? TELL US SOMETHING… and not leave all to speculation…. DO YOU KNOW the cost then ?
@ acDavid(not BU)
Onions and miller have all the answers but where were your voices before
….on this housing of the elderly
*******************************.
The reason there are so many (100) abandoned at the QEH today in contract to say 20 on average during our tenure…is that TINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTER for families and there was money around to pay for the extra help. Nowadays thanks to the DLP….we all struggling to live….didn’t you hear prostitution on the rise (BAFBPF)..all sign of what your good Govt is placing on the table as BETTER….Its not rocket science ac…
Why don’t the PM call the elections and stop the POO-SHARKING…..he is going to lose anyway.If he loved this country, as saids …at least give it a chance to RISE AGAIN nuh, They have shown they have run out of ideas, so why the prolong ?…food for thought
@millertheanunnaki: Do not patronise me. I know what my name means. I repeat: “Black people come from a heritage of nurturing elders. Some of us still acknowledge our ancestors in everything we set out to do.”
Furthermore you and the onion bag bags need to get your “brilliant” backsides off the crtitic couch and go look for some elderly persons to keep company with. You just might become enlightened.
@BAFBFP: Patience is key. Like you I am impatient. But do not dismiss the talk.Talk has to come when you have to explain. It is when the talk is empty, vacuous, that you chewpse and move on. But some politicians should be listened to. You learn from them. Rest assured we are getting through. Slowly, but surely. Trust me when I tell you something is being done. This project between the two ministries began in October 2010!!
Finding solutions to the problem of the abandoned elderly needed a project approach with a small group determined to research and act. It took two years to get to this stage and we had to follow through on this along with everything else we do. Just an informal group of three of us met to get the action started.
But that is the civil service. Never seen anything like it. If you are not accustomed to how it works you could become frustrated; but you have to stay motivated and keep at it.
I realise everyone on these blogs hides behind pseudonyms, probably politicians included. Scared of the millerwhatevers, caswells and onions.
But if I see my name bandied about, and me and my government’s work and intent misrepresented I will step in if I feel it is important enough. And I will use my name. I did not step into public life to be intimidated and patronised by ghost writers. Especially those representing the BLP.
So take it light BAFBFP. (What does the acronym stand for, may I ask?)
P.S.Not to worry about the “…With respect” thing. I good.
@ Sen.Sandiford -Garner
Thanks for the compliments…however, we are unaccustomed to all these declines in morals and lack of remorse and abuse of the elderly as well as their funds.The air now filled with hostility, “tongue and cheek will have words.” Me thinks the Annuaki and meself are just doing fine here holding this fort and lovin paper.v pencil wars….lol
Things have to be serious with the DLP when the “bandit chaser” has to resort to blogging to put the DLP’s case.

“The BLP will fool who they want to and who allows themselves to be fooled.There is no magic solution but the BLP will continue to deceive”……………………………………………….
The DLP fooled the people so badly in 2008 that no one can fool the electorate again. Their eyes have been opened to the bold faced lies the dead king and the Dems told them beginning with the 100 days promises. Now they will never trust wunnah” again. Remember the famous lie the dead king told some elections ago ……………….I have something to tell you about Owen Arthur and the deal he made with the IMF. Well, scores of people followed the dead king around all election season and on the penultimate night, they realised they were lied to. You all have the monopoly on LIES.
I will not lie, cheat or steal!

@Onion bags, I went to sleep. Was tired. You pay me to work during the day you know? I did not run anywhere. I am a “bandit chaser” remember? Prodigal Son my foot. Like I said before, I do not make it a habit of engaging the unarmed. As far as the worthwhile discourse goes, I am entitled to respond here or on the floor of the Senate;and soon the lower House of Assembly. Love the privilege of being able to serve in this beautiful and free country governed by my party, the party that loves Barbados and the people of Barbados, the Democratic Labour Party. Walk good Onions.

Seems like the dear Senator not returning calls…
BAFBFP
The Public Service is a convenient whipping boy for incompetent politicians who attain public office without trying to understand what they have gotten into. Those who continually abuse public officers are the ones who think that they know everything, and tend to believe that their way is the only way.
Rather than criticize the procedures in the public service, silly politicians should try to understand why things are done in a particular way. If they took time to understand public service procedures, they would realize that almost everything that is done in the service is set out in some set of procedures or set down in law: all of which need ministerial intervention to change. By way of example, the Financial Rules set out the procedure for spending government money; politicians believe that those rules prevent them from moving fast enough to achieve what they want to do; and rather than amend the rules, they set up statutory corporations, most of which are corrupt, but the politicians have easier access to government funds. As a result, they have more than one entity providing the same service, with each having its own administrative structure. In other words, they provide jobs for the boys, or rather sharing out the fatted calf.
Like the good senator, I do not like to fight with an opponent that is unarmed, but she should be cautioned that she should no go into battle with her powder wet.
@ Sen.Garner
If see my name bandied about, and me and my government’s work and intent misrepresented I will step in if I feel it is important enough.

So what are you saying ..the rest are not apt to speak for themselves ???
How come you so “tight” wid us boys and the rest frighten fa stick.???
Irene Sandiford-Garner
I sorry but I just likes the way you look … I just luvs the way you look … Even though you are kind to respond man you cudda cuss me and I would say “thank you ma’am, with respect”. (I feel the same way ’bout Lynette too and Ester, eye candy man … shhhh I trying to talk sof’)
With respect, patience is an excuse. It most certainly appears too that blaming the nature of the Public Service has become vogue as well. Benn is guilty of doing it, Kellman, Lashly’s, Inniss, Jones and now you… You are the Government policy setting arm. There were monies spent in studies and plans to streamline things. Both political parties have used these plans in campaigning and to this day the Service remains at the core of the lethargy in implementation.
Ma’am with respect, it is my contention that there is and never was a sincere desire to fix the Service, it is too convenient an excuse to disguise the utter ineffectiveness of the so called “political class” (You, Lynette and Ester excluded of course …)
With Respect
Good one..BAFBFP

Caswell why don’t you ask questions before you jump on your soapbox? If not sure, say so.Who said anything about financial rules? And corruption??? How you get all out dey????? I said the civil service. You read that and decided what went on with your brilliant clairvoyant self. My powder, for you, has never, ever been wet. Get your facts str8.. BAF whatever, understand that the civil servants are not whipping boys. The system is a bureacratic maze that challenges anyone who has not spent decades in it. You learn it as you go along. I am a private sector person. So I take guidance. I can explain all details if you call me at Ministry of Health. Then you can report back to the rest and let them cuss you for the truth “stead of me. How ’bout it?. You are entitled to the information. Just don’t feel like chatting any more with people like Caswell pimping on my conversation all hyped to launch into hyperbole and irrelevant crap. Had an excellent canvass today to lick the stuffing out of that short man, and I am in a good good mood. Peace.

“millertheanunnaki: Do not patronise me. I know what my name means. I repeat: “Black people come from a heritage of nurturing elders. Some of us still acknowledge our ancestors in everything we set out to do.”
“Furthermore you and the onion bag bags need to get your “brilliant” backsides off the crtitic couch and go look for some elderly persons to keep company with. You just might become enlightened.”
Dear Ms Sandiford-Garner,
I sincerely apologise for my perceived patronising reference to the meaning of your personal name. Your ‘siren’ has been heard even by me, an old and almost deaf person. Since you are cocksure so proud of your African heritage you might be just as keen to let the BU readers know what do the two names in your double family barrel mean.
For you to repeat your racist chant about black people coming from a heritage of nurturing elders is most unfortunate and indicative of your insensitivity to the same cultural similarity found among other ethnic groups even here in Barbados.
You are a member of a government that must represent and speak on behalf of all ethnic divisions, not just Black people. To put you in your place I would ask you to account for the very high incidence of black-on-black crime and murders among young people of African origin. Does the request sound ‘racist’ to you?
A major factor why people of African origin appear to you to be more “nurturing of their elders” is because the average life span among the same ethnic group tend to be on the comparatively low side. Living to a ripe old age of 70 or miraculous 80 was seen as a ‘divine’ achievement. Those people, because of their oral tradition, were seen as the fountains of knowledge and wisdom. Because of this rare circumstance they were cherished, revered and specially looked after. A real check with your local heritage born out of slavery and exploitation would confirm that blacks had no other means of support and looking after their elders (storehouses of survival techniques and cultural traditions) than through an extended family or ‘communal’ approach.
Can you now appreciate the gravamen of the problem? A problem not faced by any DLP or BLP administration but by a society that has lost its ‘communal’ values, broken ‘extended family’ ties, and the blind worship of the almighty dollar at the altar of materialism. With an aging population that benefitted from good educational system relevant to the then times, good public health facilities and access to medical and dental care we do have a ticking time bomb on our hands when it comes to care of our elderly; and no reference to our ‘halcyon’ African heritage would defuse the problem.
Since you are a widely read individual (no patronizing intended here) you should be aware that modern ‘African societies are faced with similar challenges and even compounded by the endemic presence among the youth of high incidences of HIV/AIDS and NCCD’s. Those of working age are the supports on which the elderly depend. This is a reality of life and to undermine the supports would only expose the elderly to neglect and abuse.
So Senator, why not be a bit more proactive and think outside the academic box and talk shop by relying on good old commonsense.
Remember what our old folks used to say? :-“edication” aint commonsense.
The same way we the government create tax and other incentive for ordinary citizens to conserve energy (let’s spin it and label it “going green” for political mileage) why not create a tax or financial incentive for the care of the elderly policy framework (call if “going grey”). Would you say that conserving the old in good condition until the thief called Time robs us of our cherished ones is just as valuable as any other conservation measure whether it be old buildings or cultural traditions. This suggestion is nothing new. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not allow tax payers who have taken on the moral responsibility of looking after the acute care of the indigent elderly in their family circle to claim a tax deduction against their tax liability. A dependant relative should not de limited to children but should also include those at an advanced age and not financially capable of looking after themselves. A ‘dependant’ relative or an elderly qualifying for ‘in need of care’ status ought to be a tax rebate entitlement. It had been so before your time. No shame in looking back, just an adjustment to reflect the financial costs of our times.
Again I must apologise for not responding to you earlier but given my age it should be expected that I would be motivated by the teacher called ‘Experience’ to do my duty to those elders in my family. As a senior member of a large family I already have my hands full in doing my moral duty. There is no need to extend beyond the family only to find one self unable to cope at home.
But then again, ‘Currants’ (yes, patronizing “fuh real”) an old man will always be in need of a little home-help from a younger and lively siren from the young beautiful plains and hills in the North East of our aging landscape.
@David
i read senator garner blog, and i do not see anywhere where she was blamming public officers. I think that she reconizes the bureaucratic procdedures that must be adhered to.
I dont see how caswell made that quantum leao
Now looka muh crosses…who call dog ?
@ David
How sayth thou …our concord with the Spirited Senator ? Again Onions extends a hearty welcome to ALL MP’s and PM’s here and beyond (Caribbean) to this BU, the little man’s Parliament…Yes Obama too. Barrack too.
Wait, Georgie I hope you hear HERR….enuf said..
@Onions
You and co are doing fine (that included BAFBFP).
BU can be a tough environment especially for a politician.
I am sorry, but Caswell’s comment was clear to me and represents a blanket criticism of Politicians in general. In short, if politicians have a problem with the Bureaucratic nature of the Civil Service, it is in their power, as the initiators of laws on procedure, to change things. Politicians can change the way the Service functions … Is this or is this not true …?
And still we have a NHC and a Housing Ministry, a NCF and a Ministry of Culture and so on … and so on
Thanks Ms Garner for the offer to call you. I tried speaking to you once in public and had a hard time concentrating on the conversation. The good thing about the phone is that you speak to a voice and not to a face… 🙂 (… Too sweet man …)
Miller said…. “Why not allow tax payers who have taken on the moral responsibility of looking after the acute care of the indigent elderly in their family circle to claim a tax deduction against their tax liability. A dependant relative should not de limited to children but should also include those at an advanced age and not financially capable of looking after themselves. A ‘dependant’ relative or an elderly qualifying for ‘in need of care’ status ought to be a tax rebate entitlement. It had been so before your time. No shame in looking back, just an adjustment to reflect the financial costs of our times.”
Another excellent suggestion Miller! You continue to impress me with your pen.
Dear Madam Senator,
I am pleased that you have taken the time to respond to the BU family regarding some of the many issues that concern many of us. Thank you for your kind words. I believe that you will gain quite a lot from reading the blogs the many valuable ideas and suggestions posted by bloggers. The above suggestion by Millertheannuki is an extremely sensible one. I do hope that you will pass this onto your Minister of Finance.
To be honest, I am not at all impressed by the performance of your government and the lack lustre leadership that has been portrayed. Like many Bajans who voted for your government we have become very disappointed. Life has become more and more difficult and is a struggle for many. Many of the promises such as lowering the cost of living, Integrity legislation have never been fulfilled. I am tired of hearing empty promises. Many of the government departments are in dire need of restructuring and instead of making excuses and accepting the slow archaic pace of the civil service we need to see expedited change taking place. I am aware that you alone cannot do this but you need to kick some ass if that is what it takes to get the job done.
Unfortunately I cannot see your government winning the next election and the longer the PM takes to call it, the more seats will be lost. You seem to be a very open and honest lady and appear to be doing your very best, but if the team is weak all your efforts will be in vain.
Sincerely and good luck,
Islandgal246
Wait Miller you Islandgirl246 like get a view of your one foot asset … Like she besotted and bewitched ..
@millertheanunnaki I “liked” your suggestion re the tax break. Now that is real intellectual and creative stimulation. I can mention it to my colleagues. And keep mentioning it. Killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
@Islandgal246 I am sorry you feel that way. I know we have the Integrity In Public Life done – I sat on the Governance Committee that would have gone through it before it was forwarded to Cabinet and I can assure you our team was 100 per cent in favour. I am sure you know what happened when it was laid in parliament? As far as the cost of living is concerned,last week I said that the cost of living is not restricted to items on shop shelves and I outlined all the areas where the Government had applied ease to peoples’ pockets. But I agree more has to be done. Question is where? I do believe we need a concerted all out assault on our imported food bill and move from there.We have acres of arable land in the rural areas running to bush but would buy fruit and veggies at obscene prices. That’s another blog in itself and I am rushing out.
As far as the election goes, if you examine each candidate from the DLP and the rival from the BLP you will be able to garner a more accurate picture of what will happen in the next election. I keep saying the next election will not be a B or D election. Bajans will be voting individuals; voting for whom they think will truly REPRESENT them. I trod the streets and I listen. And Barbadians are not repeating what I hear one or two hacks on the blogs saying. I have heard them echo your sentiments, but they also say they are afraid of the “other people”. No lie. They feel things are hard yes, but believe things will get better. What they are pretty adamant about is the frittering away of gains; money. They get cruel about that. Gotta go!
But Senator, with respect, the nature of the beast is that we live in a Prime Ministerial Dictatorship. It has never mattered who represented whom, surely people see this, and is this not why it matters so much who leads the party in an election?

Finding solutions to the problem of the abandoned elderly needed a project approach with a small group determined to research and act. It took two years to get to this stage and we had to follow through on this along with everything else we do.
Two years to allocate $244,000.00 to outfit two wards to house 40 abandoned elderly, but less than a year to put $300,000 and $500,000 into football and cricket memorial tournaments respectively? What civil servants what? The Senator needs to wheel and come again!!.

But it was the DLP led by the late PM Thompson that declared the days of consultants were over. The demagoguery practiced by the DLP to win the last election continues to be a thorn in its side: cost of living higher, agricultural land still being changed and no promised legislation in place, coastal development continues and consultants all across government.

Seems like you all GOT YOUR HANDS filled this morning …to be wishing we had left long standing problems…I guess we left these here too nah..
Alexandra Dispatch,the ‘CLICO Bonnie n Clyde’ the Knights closings,the International Business up and runnings,The Walmer Lodge miss-givings(,FTC), The FourSeasons Persuads,The BL&P-NIS emeras lodgings, the Round-a bout and Templar misunderstandings and now the Neal and Massey unforgivings (Almond )……we still have about 8 months to go… so adequate time for more to float up and add to the list.
People all over Barbados are fed up with this nampy-pampy Government. People are poorer. Cost of living is out of control, and we have a PM who is totally clueless about everything.
