Perhaps the Ministry of Transport could tell us why the road tax for some particular SUV’s is as high as $1600, while some owners of the same type of vehicles are paying as little as $375. Certainly the difference between registering that type of vehicle as Private, as opposed to Commercial,cannot not be that wide.
Veh #1 :Tare 2020 Kgs Gros 2700 Kgs –Road TAX $375.00
Veh #2 :Tare 1020 Kgs Gros 2030 Kgs…Road TAX $375.00
Veh #3:Tare 1950 kgs Gros 0 Kgs…..Road Tax $1600.00

Another DLP lie to the Barbadian public. Another trick like the 100 days promises. Donville Inniss announces a new hospital to be built at Kingsland.

A few days after he made the initial announcement last October, a very senior person in the Ministry said that he did not know how the Minister could make the announcement. He said not a meeting was held, not a quantity surveyor consulted, not an architect consulted, not a location identified. Not a word from the minister since October but low and behold today with an election pending, he finds a tentative site!

Bajans, do not buy the DLP lies again!

Enuff

It is not a case of madness. The first question is who currently owns the 20 acres required. I would risk to bet it will be someone, probably a DEM,who has been trying to offload the land for a long time but could not attract a buyer with the exorbitant price being asked. You must remember that CLICO is not there to finance the next campaign and the fellows need money.
