Leader of the Opposition Mia Mottley used the cloak of parliamentary privilege in her reply to the 2015 Budget and Financial Statement to accuse […] the government  – specifically Ministers Denis Kellman, Denis Lowe, Darcy Boyce and Minister Sinckler –  of entering a shady arrangement with Cahill Energy to build a USD700 million Waste to Energy Gasification plant in Barbados.  She referred to several documents during a lengthy prosecution of the matter which she promised to make public.

Mia Mottley also directed additional charges at Ministers Michael Lashley and Denis Lowe. She accused both of them of driving luxury vehicles registered to Trans Tech Inc, a company owned by Lloyd Brathwaite. She further accused Lowe and Lashley of approving questionable invoices for repairs to trucks owned by the Transport Board and the Sanitation Authority by Trans Tech .

BU will update an audio file of Mia Mottley’s reply to the 2015 Budget and Financial Statement very soon.

    Ingrunt Word;

    re my “I don’t think that you have demonstrated that Mia is anyway in DT’s class” and your response “I wasn’t trying to show that in the least because in my view she is way beyond DT’s class”. I was’nt talking about political dynastic class with MAM being a scion of the Mottley Clan started by rugged Mottley long ago and DT who sought to start his own dynasty, borne of people in his school days suggesting that he was “Toms Son as well as Thompson” and doing whatever he thought necessary to effect that status even to the extent of going totally outside the law in money laundering for the estimable LP.

    I was talking about proven or provable dastardly doings by the two. But perhaps the vigour of your responses savour of a suggestion that she or her family dealings have personally affected or are known by you. If that is so, let the BU family know the details so that we can adjudicate the dastardliness of the two. nb. the provable DT case is already on BU, you can now give us the facts in a case against Mottley.

    But I’ve often heard that politics is “the art of the possible”. I suspect Mia Mottley went as far as is currently politic at this time. The future will tell if she is pushed to go further.

    But let’s agree to disagree about this matter.

    @ Are we There Yet

    You have have posed a question which from 3.55 p.m. there have been no answers to.

    Either it is that the website has not been taking submissions on this topic, that it is Friday and people are glad to be free for the weekend and not have to suffer through the idiocy of Monday Tuesday and Wednesday or that people are afraid to answer your questions.

    De Ole Man will therefore venture where fools fear to thread with these proven, unproven or provable dastardly threads which, given the fact that no one is ever prosecuted for any such actions, fall into the category of speculation and “dem telling lies because dem grudge he/she” or she-he (depending pun who you talking bout) brilliance.

    The Syrup Scam at the Ministry of Education/School meals

    The Edutech compensations.

    Jose and Jose’s never ending MoH and MTW contracts through H** till Lashes and Whisper dun DEM (no Pun intended)

    The Veco scandal, dem is some of the proven, unproven or unprovable acts.

    No you can start to adjudicate (dat is a big word dat I got to Wikipedia it source) the dastardliness of the two.

    I am sure dat de udders gine submit some mo, using dem customary nom de plumes

    Oh dis submission is eider based pun balls, stupidity, a death wish or a healthy understanding of IEDs…


  3. And how creative a solution is asking Bajans to shut the country down? Surprise surprise it is not in our DNA. Prospective leaders must win the hearts and minds with proposals which are pragmatic and will resonate.

    Heard Fumble screeching this morning on VOB that if Statutory Board staff are called to retire at 60 then they must go, does this apply to the PM himself and the GG as well?
