Barbadians continue to wait for 2013 Tax Refunds deep well into 2015 because government is cash strapped. A big problem for government is revenue leakage; many individuals who owe government are delinquent. Surprisingly, among the list of defaulters are prominent names who continue to be handed government contracts.
What ever happened to the debts owed by REDJET? Is it fair to ask REDJET directors if they plan to repay VAT, PAYE and NIS owed? And what about the employees and members of the public who are always forgotten when companies collapse? Local entrepreneur Bizzy Williams was associated with REDJET until he bailed from the REDJET Board when he read the signs. Many believe Bizzy’s move caused Burn’s heart to beat faster than normal eventually causing a heart attack!

Another rich local entrepreneur government who has been handed significant business (opportunities) by government is Bernie Weatherhead. BU is curious the yardstick used by government to shortlist vendors. TIA Holdings Ltd (TIA), a company which Bernie Weatherhead represented as a board member is reported to be in debt to the National Insurance Board (NIB) the sum of $1,018,051.54 made up of $345,775.51 and interest of $672,240.03. How is it Caribbean Financial Services Corporation held a Debenture/Mortgage over the assets of TIA and miraculously a request to the NIB has recommended accepting $50,000 from Weatherhead (about 1/8 of the contributions owed by the company)? Where are the assets of the company? The scenario with Bernie AND Bizzy shows how the political class (100% Black) is manipulated at will by the money class.
