M.Carrington Speaker
J.Paul deputy Speaker
M.Thompson- Chairman Committees

David

I really did not notice his voice but he looked unwell.

Moving Donville Inniss and placing him in a nondescript ministry is a slap in the face and it has now given credence to the conflict of interest that the BLP alluded to in campaign about the purchase of Bay View. If I were Donville, I would be offended and go back to my other business interest.

Carrington should return as speaker. Will need a deputy. That leaves one out in the cold. No Best nor Benn. No parliament for hutson nor tannis.

Feels like a minor cabinet reshuffle while playing with less cards. I could have sworn I read today that Suckoo said she’s eager to head back to Africa. Guess she didn’t get the memo.

Was there a Ministry of Innovation before? Did I miss the Ministry of (renewable) Energy?

Just Observing

Obey

Min of Renewable Energy … Brilliant! Hope you slow pokes catch on to what Obey is implying …

The miller wants to see the Pinocchio fella Sinckliar pay a heavy political price by remaining as MOF&EA. However, he is some what disappointed in Estwick for taking such shabby treatment lying down.
They say barking dogs seldom bite and it seems as if this pit bull went secretly to Dentist Duguid or Agard to have his teeth filed right down to a baby’s bite. Or maybe it’s the gun slinging affair that still hangs over him.
Dr. D we will be tuning in only when you speak on Agricultural issues but will be tuned off when you deal in economic and finance matters above your pay grade. Only fools tread where angels fear to go.

John Boyce as Health Minister????? What a black day for the hospital!

millwr

continue to dream, Thats all i can sau to u. Just wish the govt well, or u dont have that in u.

Brilliant cabinet pics by the Hon. Freundel Jerome Stuart, Prime Minister of Barbados and the best Prime Minister in the Caribbean. Go forward and represent this great country like the true patriot that you are, Prime Minister.

@!

dont u see the trend? After election when the dlp suppoertes were gloating zbout their victory, the blogmaster were up in arms against them, and naturally so, because all those who had wished the fall of the DLP had been proven wrong.

These said detractors have been calling for the announement of the Cabinet, it has been accounced, They are not satisfied with the allocations and again theat was expected. What do u expect from the doomers and gloomers that masquerade as barbadians, and pretending to have an interest in this country’s survival. What has become of the pledge of allegaince to ur country> That seem to have gone through the window,

I continue to marvel how these persons who have been preaching the demise of the DLP, since the death of the lat DT, have not recognized that no one man is a party. Paties will have internal conflict, because no one personality is the same, and each perso’s expection is different, to this end, the mettle of the leader is tested in holding a party together. This is where the PM leadership qualities became evident, in both managing conflict and ensuring that his charges kept focused to ensure that we sail through choppy waters,

I am looking forward to the pathway to progress over the next five years. By that time the four seasons project, among others would have completed.

I wish the govt aall the best, and wish its detractors a miserable five years in trying to pull it down,

Well done Me. P M

@undertaker

so, every body dont have to have local posting

Seems like each and everyone of them now, including the opposition, will have to work as though they are conjoined twins to see the island over this hump. What will be refreshing is not hearing the blame game of which party did or did not do what over the last five years, it has been played out. Anything at all goes wrong, we would know that they all decided to selfishly not work together.

All the wheels have fallen off the BLP bicycle and they are on the backfoot looking to see what way they can make inroads and win the confidence of the public. lot of noise ! rumour ! and propaganda would be coming from the BEES as they continue in campaign mode. PM STUART once again have spoken and miller is disappointed !

I am starting to feel like we are just beating dead horse.

Miller then it behooves me as to why your rantings and ravings about this govt when in reality you should be spending all that time praising your party for having the guts to choose a leader who is highly ranked in popularity with the populace . Even though not so much among her peers

Ac, I owe allegiance to no party. My support for Ms Mottley is borne out of a deep admiration of her intellect and respect for her political skills and commitment to her constituents. As long as this loyal relationship exists and she is charge of the BLP then the miller will continue to vent against the lying deceitful DLP.

The Privatization ghost is about to leave the closet and haunt you, ac. Two years at the most of ghostly torment and torture from the ‘privatized and layoffs’ ghost of Banquo.

The IADB has opened the closet to expose the skeleton hiding in the government’s closet.
Let the CRA femur to be the first to fall out.

Component II. Strengthening of tax revenues. The objective of this component
is to strengthen the tax policy and administration system, ensuring more effective
tax revenue collection. The programme will support the: (i) review of the
efficiency of the tax system, including tax policy, tax rates and tax administration;
(ii) establishment of a Central Revenue Authority (CRA) to consolidate revenue
collection agencies under one umbrella.

Component III. Improving control and quality of expenditure. The objective
of this component is to support the GoB efforts to improve the quality and control
of the allocation of resources to entities of the general government. The
programme will support measures to control the growth of expenditure, which
include: (i) containing transfers by rationalising the cost of personal emoluments;
(ii) increasing the efficiency of the procurement system by strengthening the
procurement framework and; (iii) reducing levels of spending on goods and services.

Interesting to listen to PM Stuart last night when he stated that for the MOST part we have come out of the 2013 general election with our democracy intact (words to this effect)

@ David
What kind of development have we achieved within the political system? We don’t even have the ability to form a bi-partisan government in an election where it could be considered that the people saw no difference between the Bees and the Dees although the unvoted won the largest percentage.

News Flash

The DLP used drug lords, paid them huge sums of money to hire their goons to go to the polls and vote for love of money.

This so called victory will haunt you for the rest of your lives. You stole an election and is this what you call a victory????

i saw PM STUART today and he looked fit as a fiddle. maybe Caswell need to go get his eyes check too many cataracts growing on them.

Dont pay caswell any mind. He is not going to get what the BLP promised him now.

Poor Caswell, back the wrong side. Sang for his supper so often, all to no avail.!

@ ac | March 1, 2013 at 8:07 PM |

Both the miller’s middle foot and OSA’s tongue are peacefully resting in the same mortuary. But it seems both have left a legacy of lifelong impact on you.
Which one stimulated you more?
OSA’s hand in your craw or the miller’s foot up yours?

That is a one-pony race you can bet on ac to keep all the winnings where the monkey stuff the nuts. (LOL!!)

Carson

I am offended by your partisan stupidity. Sing for what supper? Unlike you, I do not depend on any politician for my living by my own deliberate acts. That is why I have resisted numerous invitations from the DLP. Your people see me as a disaffected Bee, well I have news for you: I am neither B nor D even though I would have cast my vote for Dr. Hinds in St. Thomas.

Pray tell me what in any of my comments would suggest to you that I support any political party. I am critical of both parties and I am fully aware that recently the DLP received the brunt simply because it appeared that they were hurtling from one foolhardy decision to the next. The Bees were spared because they were literally doing nothing because they somehow believed that the Government would have fallen in their laps because of the Dems incompetence. They did not figure in the massive vote buying into their calculations.

I am not Christian … I have NO allegiance to a White Queen… why should Fruendal Stuart believe that he has the right to speak for the like of me …
