   Dear Gilberto Howell and David the blogmaster:

   I think that the statement should be “A MINISTER MUST NEVER LIE”

   Because sure as hell if any of my Ministers are lying (any party Carson C. Cadogan) I want to know about it.

   @ David BU:

   Do you know what really is going on with the funding commitments to the UWI as far as Barbados is concerned?

   The Minister of Education promised a speedy resolution. The Minister of Finance recently said everything is sorted with Scotia taking on the liability of over $150 million in full with government’s guarantee of servicing this ongoing debt.

   Now we hear from the UWI top brass that nothing of the kind is going with the Cave Hill campus facing a serious cash flow crisis and creditors about to take legal steps to recover outstanding amounts.

   What really can Bajan students expect come the new enrolment year?

   We all heard the MoF last Sunday that the UWI will be permitted to drawdown on a facily from Scotiabank guaranteed by government. If this is not happening then the UWI needs to communicate wth the Finance ministry.

   @Miller…….. You think Scotia Bank foolish to be taking guarantee from a government with junk status? Not the Scotia I know. Bajans students will simply have to pay for their education like the rest of the islanders. The days of when Bajan students use to skin up their noses at the students from the other islands is at an end. When Bajan students start paying all the loitering under the trees on campus behind the medical faculty, in front of the Arts Lecture Theatre etc will be a thing of the past.

   So what if the UWI did, and even had to call in Prof. Harris to pull his weight only to be told by the bureaucrats (not the hiding Minister) there is nothing yet to drawdown.
   What would you say? That the MoF is just on another round of bull crap dropping?

   Do you remember the same MoF telling the country during his rap-up speech in the last Estimates debates that the Four Seasons has never been a government project and that there are just a few minor formalities to be sorted out among the private sector players before the taxpayers get back their $120 million.

   He even made that gesture with his thumb and index finger replicating a pinch a snuff trying to futilely enter an anal shaped ring) to indicate how close the project was to financing closure with only the lawyers working on the ‘completion’ paper work.

   Why then the need to advertise to invite people to bid when there is a local filthy rich business tycoon who has his eyes on the villas and only too willing to construct a brand new hotel out of his private funds with no government guarantees or concessions other than the usual already available under existing hotel development legislation?

   Why not sell the man the place to develop the same way all the major housing and commercial building construction projects went to Jada and Preconco without all of this pseudo false transparency of inviting other bidders who previously could not meet the financial requirements in the first place without government’s guarantees to source private financing?
