Today is Budget Day in Barbados the 15 June 2015. For many what is hidden in the ‘Black Box’ in recent years seems to be of little interest to the citizenry compared to what occurred in the 80s and 90s. The politicians will grab their 30 minutes in the spotlight rabbling as if programmed in support of their side and many citizens will retreat to channel surfing and scan the news for a summary of what transpired.
Should we blame flagging interest by Barbadians in what our elected members do in parliament on the need to aggressively teach Civics in our schools? What has become evident to BU for some time now, we have become disengaged from our role as the Third Estate.
Some of us will listen to some of what Minister Chris Sinckler has to present at 4PM.
