Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler with veteran VOB journalist David Ellis (28/07/13)

Yes Minister, but please tell the truth about the Pierhead Marina Project.

Can you believe anything  the Minister of Finance said yesterday on Brass Tacks?

No you cannot because the Minister of Finance is a stranger to the truth. A bullshit artist from beginning to end, a man determined to lie his way through politics in Barbados. A man who is all show and little or no substance, a man who has, by himself,  destroyed the confidence the people of Barbados place in the office of the Minster of Finance and Economic Affairs.

Take the Pierhead Marina as an example. The Minister said categorically yesterday that the Pierhead Marina project is proceeding but he conveniently forget to tell the people of Barbados that he, as Minister of Finance, brought a Cabinet Paper to Cabinet a few weeks ago making a number of recommendations, including:

  1. The contract with SMI be terminated immediately
  2. The Pierhead Marina project be suspended until the Barbados economy was not in a recession.

See document received by BU which is purported to be part of a Cabinet Paper dated 21 June 2013. BU has published because we deem it in the public’s interest – Click LINK to read document.

    He has no option other than to resign or Barbados would now have been fully downgraded to banana republic status. You should be aware that he also lied on his election returns.

    Caswell, please blog some of the information you gave on brasstacks this morning (monday July 29 2013) I need to fully assess such.

    Only catch here is that information shared in Cabinet is deemed “secret” and therefore digging into this will only result in stone walls and silence. Surprise surprise.

    Agree with the point though that confidence is key and the MoF engenders very little if any. Hopefully the budget will be a departure from the norm.

    If we had a serious fourth estate it would be a little harder for persons to bluff an entire country, but so be it.

    Carry on with testicles of granite David!!

    The Prime Minister is a man of integrity. He certainly was promoted as such in the last general election. Whether Cabinet papers are cloaked in secrecy or not he and his ‘men’ know the truth and as such there are not many options..

    @David, Bag Juice and Caswell.
    Where are the lies?I read the “link” and the “leaked” Cabinet document (Is nothing sacred anymore?) and all it talks about is the termination of the contract with the company SMI. It says nothing about abandoning the project, and if as observing says it has been suspended until a more appropriate time, I see nothing for the Minister; as Caswell recommends, to resign. What’s the matter with you people. You are ll sick in the head.

    Did you listen to when Ellis asked him about the financing of the project?

    Do you recall what the minister said?

    If you did not listen to the interview feel free to click on this blog and catch up.

    You don’t know what to believe on BU after the sacred prediction with polls and surveys to boot from BU and the likes of Wickham and Onion to demonstrate the BLP would be runaway winners in Feb. History records the BLP lost. So a bag of salt goes with anything I read on BU. If Sinckler is recommending firing SMI ( is that the shifty midget Bannister?) I applaud the move. Bannister should not have been contracted in the first place. I want the Pierhead marina to proceed because its an obvious game changer and good for our country. Needless to say the usual treason suspects wish and pray the project fails.

    I am planning to do a post on the matter but I will give you a teaser. He did not declare that he had a single poster. Also, he had a campaign centre just east of St. Stephen’s Church and apparently, I did not cost him or anyone else a single cent since that too was not declared. You will have to be a bit patient because I am reporting these discrepancies plus others to the Supervisor of Elections first and then the article will follow.

    This nincompoop Sinkliar is a dangerous,dangerous animal.He must be removed from politics in Barbados.Lowlife scum should have no place in the body politic.Stuart however re endorsed this excuse of a parliamentarian by being present at a function recently in that constituency celebrating Lawson Weekes and in recognition of the young ones in the recent 11+exam.Stuart also found time to be present at some function of the blind workshop which happens to be in the constituency he represents,yet the man finds little time to engage the society on matters of the economy unless goaded repeatedly.
    On another score I congratulate Jack Warner on winning the Chaguanas by election by a reasonably wide margin at this time.This is a sociological dilemma and for some a conundrum.An African was able to convince Indians to vote for him against the advice of all dem Indian ministers and Hindu powerhouses and dem.Bissessar is a gonner long time.Warner has upset the applecart;even Rowley in trouble now.Warner might now do the impossible and unite Trinidad’s major ethnic combatants like Eric was able to do.

    If young maloney (White that he is) sadthinks that he will be allowed to reverse the gains the workers in this country have made, all the suffering that black people have had to undergo, to achieve what is rightfully theirs, in order to allow him and people like him to change the fabric of this society he is in for a rude awakening. There is no way that the BWU and the port workers will allow him to win this battle; a battle of his own choosing and a deliberate throwing down of the gauntlet I hope ther is no wailing and gnaching of teeth when the gauntlet is picked up. After 1991 a person like him cannot be allowed to unravel the fabric of the social partnership.

    Now who is seeking to pull down the country, stir up feelings of racial animosity, incite social unrest and create an atmosphere of further economic dislocation?

    Isn’t your man Maloney one of the chief financial backers of the DLP since the CLICO cash cow went belly up?
    Aren’t you afraid that he pulls out of the Grotto housing project leaving a whole scandal on the PM’s hands?
    Of course you are old enough to know the relevance of the piper being manipulated by the person paying him to play the song of Maloney the moneyman’s choosing. Unless, of course, he is the Pied Piper from Piper’s Avenue.

    It is said by some persons world over that a picture is worth more than a thousand words.

    Hence, a close esoterical analysis of the image above alone must reveal to the analyst that Mr Sinckler is a very wicked terrible person who is very disturbed on the inside and not at peace with himself.

    Also, a serious look at the said image would also reveal that the lesser animal that Mr Sinckler resembles postures is a pit bull crossed with a pig. He has the personality traits of maniacal selfishness and greed and will attempt to destroy many of his opponents when given the opportunity to do so and when cornered will lie his way out of his own personal and political problems.

    Here is a damning thing about this piece of misery.

    Sometime ago he suggested to the country that there was the feeling by some persons (including him – and he said so to cover his tracks too) that to have a national buy local campaign would be against WTO rules. Such a buy local campaign as many would know was necessary so as to provide some human, financial and material benefits for the country. Indeed, support for it, especially led by some elements within the Barbados Manufacturers Association (BMA), was gaining currency among a lot of Barbadians.

    So months after the Minister said what he had to say, and the campaign had run out of steam and lost its way, you know what came to the mind of one of the PDC members: that he should go and find out what truth or falsity there was to the Minister’s claim, given that that type of utterance sounded suspect. For, there was the thinking by the member that the WTO could never tell a country of people who to buy from.

    So you know what this particular member and an associate of his went and did? They went on the internet and looked for an electronic reproduction of the WTO treaty and its ponderously numerous provisions, rules, etc. And would any body on this BU blogsite seeing this blog believe that after having thoroughly and meticulously searched for the relevant provisions that proscribed a national buy local campaign, there were no such provisions that prevented such a campaign under the said treaty?? None whatsoever??!!

    Yet Mr Sinckler wanted to falsely make some Barbadians believe that under WTO provisions, it was illegal to have such a campaign in this country, on the basis that he would have thought that some Barbadians would automatically have accepted that he is some kind of authority on this type of WTO matter, and that he would have come across as having to be right in his position, and especially as a result of his training in International Trade Policy, it would have taken some persons with enough intellectual skills to properly challenge his supposedly specialist arcane knowledge on such a matter at the time.

    But he must have known that there was a difference between his thinking those ways about himself and what he falsely alleged about a by local campaign and what the WTO treaty provisions actually say and that can be avail of on the finger tips of a mouse.

    Anyhow, to this day the PDC has never forgiven him for misleading those persons who would have falsely believed in what he said.

    So, what a most horrendous political nuisance indeed!

    Devin (along with the other monikers), is this the same Bannister who was involved in the same Dodds Prison financing arrangement that you guys condemned so much?
    Can you imagine him arranging something similar for the Pierhead marina? Barbados would end up with a $2-3 billion dollar financial millstone big enough to sink the entire island in the sea.

    But how come this conman, despite all his faults and financial warts and all can still be the financing go-between for the Cruise Terminal? Something smells real fishy foul here and it’s not fish market or the sewage plant!

    Now I have sat and listened and read a whole load of hog wash from this fraud Franklyn and company, as to the merit or demerit of the payment collected and not returned to the Mr Boolani for his payment to Kerrie Symmonds to beat the system at Immigration and get him his son’s status with a day to go while Symmonds was still a member of the ruling party up to that time.

    Now we have an abortion lawyer in Franklyn giving people false and very badly flawed information as to the cost that Symmonds should or should not have charged for committing this crime of the theft of this gentleman’s $ 5,000.00.

    Had Franklyn had an ounce of common sense or decency or truth his argument should have been that on the 14 th day of January 2008 that SYMMONDS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAKING A CENT FROM A PERSON AS HE WAS AN AGENT OF THE CROWN AND A MINISTER OF THE GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS IN THE FORMER BLP GOVERMENT.

    And as such could not be in any position to accept any money as if he were acting as an Attorney as a Minister of this country the law does NOT permit or allow for Symmonds to work as attorney while he or she is a Minister of Cabinet.

    I have listened to the backyard lawyer in Franklyn and I have been wondering why he continues to have an over inflated ego and impression of himself legally minded that he is not and this simple case proves his ineptness and his false and unsound utterances on this site the only place that he gets to appear and blow his own horn.

    David, when I listened to the Minister, I became confused what he was talking about. Whether it was the Pierhead project, which has had all sorts of

    @Adrian

    Let us keep it simple. There are two projects both have SMI involvement. He stated that SMI has agreed to accept an equatable risk with one and the other they have been asked to ‘rejig’ their proposal to accept the principle of sharing risk in the PPP. At no point in the interview did he indicate that the MoF/government has no interest in pursuing any of the projects with SMI.

  26. Twistorian Avatar
    Twistorian

    He said the GOB has the option to determine MOU but that the GOB was not at that stage yet. Blatant falsehood.
    If the Minister was so concerned with risk sharing in PPP projects why then has the BTI, who reports to the Minister of Finance paid over $10 million dollars in consulting fees to SMI’s consultant Baird and B+M architects in Toronto?

    Perhaps the time has come for the government to challenge the BWU at the Port. We have been told by Tony Marshall (talk show host) that reports have been completed which show our uncompetitiveness. Sir Cow and other business people have agreed over the years. So what are we doing about it? The whole country must pay to satisfy a few? We need to put this issue on the table. Your hard and fast position will not cut it in the prevailing conditions.

    The chairman of the Bdos Port Authority is David Harding. One of the very first thing he did (conflicted as is and was) raise the handling fees at the Bridgetown Port. He stood to benefit the most from this increase. Why not address that rather than picking hard fought for Union agreements which benefit the poor workers down there?

    “Neither of those two projects are going to constructed until tens of millions of dollars have first been extracted in consulting fees……all paid overseas of course.”

    Sounds as if you know what you are talking about and not just running your mouth like the bullshitter on VOB.

    BTW, what has become of the contract involving Darcy Boyce’s hand in the “redesign” of the Pierhead marina project for $40 million that incurred the wrath of the initial designers/contractors Lagan and left the government facing a massive lawsuit?

    What is interestingly puzzling are Sinckler’s attempts to explain the difference between BOLT and PPP financing arrangements.
    What he deliberately forgot to say is that in the case of the Prisons, Coast Guard Facility and the Supreme Court Complex the risks are associated with the creation of infrastructure to provide social goods like justice and security whereas the Pierhead Marina, Sugar Point Cruise terminals or even Almond are primarily commercial or profit-making economic undertakings.

    It is therefore expected that projects of a public goods nature (non commercial or profit focused) would have a different financing complexion to those like the marina project. There is now way that an international financier or cartel of financiers would lend money in commercially risky tourism related projects in today’s market without guarantees of loan repayment.

    Those who are so quick to assign the status of “Banana Republic” to Barbados should ask themselves what is the contribution of the nonexistent fourth estate to this demise? These blogs are read and closely monitored by every media house and politician in Barbados,yet the saga of Mr.Boolani and Kerrie Simmonds will be replaced by the personal vendetta that Caswell is bent on raising with Minister Sinckler. Full disclosure or not,that too will go nowhere as those entrusted with oversight conveniently miss it all.

    “A Minister must never be caught lying”.
    Isn’t that being passé, being 20th century? and not a real requirement of 21st century politics in this region.

    There are too many recent incidents that suggest that we in the Caribbean have moved past that simple and sensible Colonial aphorism to a brave new 21st century world of lying and stealing and buying votes and hypocrisy and money laundering, etc. that suggests that anything goes with Ministers as long as they feed the oftimes selfish wants of their constituents.

    Take for one. The news that Jack Warner has won back his seat by 69% to 31% of the votes cast in Trinidad. Does that suggest that the voters there cared anything about morality or about their pockets?

    Take for two. The return of Donville Inniss in the last elections here after highly credible information was published on his erstwhile connections to innovative pornogragraph. Many apparently highly moral church goers (I know several of them) in his constituency saw nothing wrong in that business at least as far as withholding a vote from him.

    Take for three. The vote buying episode that the PM and the AG said they witnessed. Where was / is the outrage?

    Take for four. Where is the outrage about David Thompson’s apparent laundering of substantial sums of money as reported in the 1st CLICO JM forensic audit?

    Take for five. Where is the outrage of the rehiring of the clearly failed Ms. Suckoo to the Ministry of Labour?

    Take for six. The alleged usage of alleged scammers in the past BLP administration by the Current Government in BOLT / PPP projects. Where is that outrage?

    There are lots of other examples. But the message is clear. Political Morality in this brave new world is not what it used to be. Owen Arthur at least fired a Minister for lying to the people and cabinet. But that was in the 20th Century. Nowadays that wouldn’t happen.

    Do we really like it so. Is David really spitting up in the air? Is the BU family being realistic about a Minister should never be caught lying?

    Id doesn’t compute. Being caught lying nowadays seems to be par for the course in the Caribbean.

    Agree with your comment 100%. What is political morality indeed. A lot of it has to do with a passive Fourth Estate and an ethos of political tribalism which has heightened in the last five plus years.

    Et al

    Regarding the agreements at the Port. If in their current form our fees make us uncompetitive that we are losing business to other Ports in the region what is the point?

    Previous winner of the cup for consecutive years
    2010 and 2011, Barbados Port Inc, was runner-up,
    and highly commended by the adjudicator, Caribbean

    positive performance over the period under

    Despite a decline in cargo volumes and a marginal

    On the back page of the Daily Nation Newspaper of Monday, July 29, 2013, it was reported that Sinckler said that, ‘We are not in danger of having the dollar devalued at the moment….but we must act as a government in a way to protect that currency peg’.

    Now, it is absolutely clear to the PDC that not only is the Government of Barbados close (not time wise but materially speaking) to a serious and prolonged increase in the domestic costs to the incomes, payments and transfers of entities in Barbados, as a result of the domestic and external financial monetary money pressures that will be increased on the parity, but it is also this dreaded illogical parity that is in and of itself helping to cause these particular pressures.

    What an egregious dilemma!!
