The Jobby Must Stop – Chris Sinckler Misled the House

Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler has been caught ‘misleading’ the country during the 2016 Estimates Debate in a Lower House last week. The fact that the House is presided over by a thief only serves to expose another strand that will be interwoven with the others to create the legacy of the Stuart government. In the process the psyche of the Bajan and the reputation of Barbados continue to be battered.

Surely when the leader of the Opposition Mia Mottley raised the issue of whether Sinckler was a member of the Cabinet that approved an increase in fees for Directors of the Board of the National Insurance Board, it should have been a case of yes or no. If he was absent from Cabinet meeting one must assume the Cabinet Secretary circulates minutes to record positions taken by the Cabinet. Further, even if Sinckler got it wrong (let us give him the benefit of the doubt) not a single colleague on the front bench felt duty bound to sotto voce a clarification?

NIS-Fees Document

After the leader of the Opposition went public with the ubiquitous document which fell from a truck only then did Sinckler do the honourable thing and publicly admitted to erring on national radio. One can speculate the reason the Attorney General Adreil ‘Searching for Mia’sLEC’ Brathwaite and the teefing Speaker referred a matter to the Committee of Privileges is connected.

What BU cannot understand is why has Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler not tendered his resignation or asked to resign from Cabinet. Is there no honour left among honourable members of parliament?

The shit must stop!

    Yeah, jobby alright! Jobby in true Westminster fashion.
    Under any other Westminster-style democratic circumstances outside of Barbados that liar would have to resign or be fired immediately. You guys are just a bunch of monkeys in a cabinet of fools and engaging in a political game of slapstick comic relief of the Marx brothers’ variety.

    Fumble needs to make good on his promise to reshuffle his obese cabinet of unproductive mice. Stinkliar is due for a much needed opportunity to widen his managerial experience and career development vista. Five years of bullshit is too long to carry on.

    No one has any confidence in you anymore, Chris. It’s time to move on. Agriculture seems to be the ideal resting ground for a seedling that failed to sprout and to produce anything other than pathological diseases of lies and national embarrassment.

    Miller in respect of a shuffle i agree with you,but i find the tactics of Mia Mottley to be nothing more than gimmickry she has failed to impress miserably,she has not come up with any solutions. On every occasion it is some some piece of paper or the other,come on man give us some ideas to take this country Forward i am tired of the theatrics on both sides and the time must soon come whereby these persons in certain government departments who are entrusted with matters that are of a confidential nature and take the liberty to bring such documents out to hand them over to who ever must be entrapped by some means and face dismissal regardless of who they engage in such acts for .

    “ i find the tactics of Mia Mottley to be nothing more than gimmickry she has failed to impress miserably,she has not come up with any solutions.”

    So if she (Mia) were to come up with solutions where would that leave the DLP Cabinet? How would that reflect on the DLP other than show them up to be not fit for purpose and the MoF has so ably established?

    Here is a solution worth implementing. Why not call general elections and let people decide if they wish to continue with the deceitful lying party or engage the services of the other lot who for sure can do no worse.

    In fairness to the BLP led by Owen Arthur in the last election in 2013,the party offered solutions which were wrestled to the ground by the albino advisers and financiers of the DLP,the likes of McConney,Bjerkham,the Williams brothers,Simpson and the stinking teefing Leper.Some have said Mia and her coterie of assassins undermined OSA,Payne,Marshall and Hinkson but the money and mauvais langue was not enough to affect their desired outcome.
    There is too much dishonesty on both sides of the political divide.Stuart can move the idyut Sinckler back to Foreign Affairs where the lying king who said he would not lie,cheat or steal,put him as the first order of business in 2008.Thompson knew he could do no real harm there.

    Stinkliar probably felt that he had to say something as there is talk going around that Fumble hinted that there would be a reshuffle.

    Anyone believe that if something was not in the air that the arrogant sod would say anything? Hell no! We all know that he likes to play bloody sports politics and would have ignored MAM. …..he got exposed after displaying gross arrogance.

    Why would Stinkliar resign because of this? This man has been lying like a fisherman since he came to office… Shiite man… he is a bullshitter!! Lying is what they do.

    Bushie was actually impressed with how smoothly he came up with the off the cuff response that we needed to cut expenses by $150M to $200M….and with a straight face too… and of course, no serious probing from his friend David Ellis…

    Based on what?
    THIS YEAR’s budget shortfall is $1.6B, so what is the magic about $200M? …..It is just bull shit…

    The very first thing that we need is a comprehensive national philosophical framework to establish where we want to get to… willy nilly guesstimates by semi-literate shiite hounds will get us exactly nowhere…like has been the case for 20 years now…

    What are our national priorities…?
    When hard choices are to be made, what will be the considerations?

    Imagine a big MoF on the radio with wishy washy shiite about needing to trim some shiite amount of expenditure “but we can’t lay off too many” …we can’t upset the Union; we can’t give David Ellis anything to complain about…

    What the hell CAN you do besides find ways to channel money to Bizzy and Maloney?

    But when we say A …we gotta say B too..
    Mia is really a waste of damn time too…. she is brighter than Chris…. but shiite man, Alvin is brighter than AC …so wuh???

    …then he had to listen to the AG on the passport thingy….. Lord have mercy… somebody tell him to clean up that beard nuh…. it is one thing to sound like a female rabbit…but yuh going look like one too…? Database Bushie’s donkey…!!

    …and Dr. Esther….!!! Cuh dear, she probably is a good doctor…she could rub Bushie’s tummy any time… But supersession does not disappear because the Personnel Department now do interviews…
    Interviews shiite!! …wuh the system was fairer when it was based on SOLID factors such as length of service, qualifications and experience on the job.
    They can interview Tom, Dick and Harry and still give the job to the minister’s sister like at the QEH…
    The thing about the good doctor is that she actually seems to believe the things they give her to say about these situations…

    I have always felt that people who serve on these boards should not be paid no more than a stipend.

    The people who would appappointed to these boards are usually their snooty pals who would be in well paying jobs, educated at the taxpayers expense and should be giving back to their country.

    It makes you wonder how much is paid to those who serve on the Central Bank. ……and we all know that one of the white moguls who control these morons is on this board. Anyone believes that he needs more of the taxpayers’ money?

    The continued emphasis of this issue is puerile. If the MoF didn’t know/remember of this insignificant (in dollars) issue he is forgiven by me. It is inconsequential.
    I would much rather know where the hell are the annual reports, which the NIS Chairman (if he is still Chairman?) here on BU said “were coming”? Their accounting seems to be approaching Enronian levels.
    And this points to the Leader of the Opposition. Why is she chasing jacks, when there are bigger fish to be caught?

    @Bush Tea at 11:26 PM ..I have absolutely no problem with your logic on this issue re: “Why would Stinkliar resign because of this? This man has been lying like a fisherman since he came to office.”…

    Maybe its the distance because reading the remarks here and the published articles this is so absolutely comical (ridiculously so)….and too the reactions particularly the one attributed to Ellis.

    —1 How can a cabinet member not be aware of key cabinet decisions. AND feel so empowered to boldly stand in Parliament and say what could only be interpreted as: he did not attend that Cabinet meetings and does not have the interest or concern to read the minutes afterwards. How else can one interpret his strong denial of lack of knowledge of a key cabinet decision unless he is lying!

    And how does a journalist not nail him on that!

    —2 How can a cabinet member who is also the MoF feign ignorance related to a hefty stipend increase for Board Executives in an environment where wages and salaries for the average worker is STAGNANT?

    And a journalist not nail his backside with some big galvanise nails on that!

    When does any journalist get impressed when a politician is caught squarely in a lie due completely to his abject and OBVIOUS disingenuous statements…

    I would want to know from each cabinet member how on earth they cannot remember the meeting to increase Executive stipends for their mates when GAIA wage talks are ongoing; ERT dismissals are pending and a general malaise of labour unrest grips the country.

    Clearly our journalists and citizens are hood winked by something….or maybe from a distance I am way-off-base and seeing what is not there. Too pedantic I suspect!

    As a comparison, this from the 2015 Annual Report of GEL.
    i) Retainer of BDS$32,000 per annum for the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board;
    ii) Retainer of BDS$16,000 per annum for each Non-Executive Director of the Board;
    iii) Retainer of BDS$8,000 per annum for each Non-Executive Chairman of a Committee of the Board;
    iv) Attendance Fee of BDS$2,000 per Board meeting attended;
    v) Attendance Fee of BDS$1,200 per Committee meeting attended;
    vi) Attendance Fee of BDS$1,200 per board meeting of the Company’s joint venture companies attended;

    Personally I would rather see at the NIS half the fee as a retainer and half the fee for actually attending each meeting.

    #NorthernObserver at 12:00 …I am no fisherman but I always was led to understand that you can use ‘jacks’ to catch bigger fish.

    This little issue is another small nail (to mix metaphors badly) sticking into the plodding shoes of this very dishonest set of Ministers. It is shocking the complete lack of care they display for veracity, a sense of respect to the Parliamentary chamber and to any honour and respect to the people they purport to represent.

    You see ‘jacks’, I see a whale of horror that they absolutely could give a damn.

    To be blunt they are all saying ”’f-u…Bajan public… Let’s move on please”.

    The PM did it with his remarks on the fprint project and the MoF obliged by his ‘memory lapse’ and then playing his ‘oh dear, mea culpa’ game.

    It seems to be working well for them though!

    Chris Sinckler apologised under advisement since he could not wiggle his way out with another lie to cover up his lie. He signed off on the increases and now want to play the HE DID NOT REMEMBER HE DID GAME. Chris something like that you hardly forget about, though you want people to be sympathetic towards believing that you did. Chris, sorry to say dude but you are a practicing liar, and once a liar always a liar, unless Jesus come into your heart. Even making this confession will not redeem you because it is hard to believe anything that you or your administration say. Chris ya start wrong so can’t end right.

    Ah, come on General the issue is not about Ms Mottley; she is not on trial here. The issue is about a Minister of the Crown caught lying in Parliament. The question is how do we go about having the proven lie struck from the records of the House since such accusations made on the floor of the house are asked to be withdrawn.

    On his honour the goodly Minister of Finance ought to ask the Speaker for permission to make a statement correcting the previous sitting of Parliament and asking that the records be amended to reflect his denials being withdrawn from the record.

    That however will involve honour and I am certain that he does not have the much honour.

    This certainly smells. Sinckler presented the budget last week (the Estimates), and has been in position for about eight years; he has also had a 77-yearold professor and his key economic adviser; he has a ‘world class’ economist running the government-controlled central bank and acting as his monetary policy expert.
    Yet he has chosen a popular radio phone-in programme to reveal his new fiscal discipline. Plse tell me it was not David Ellis. The man must resign.
    Equally, the Opposition should stop the Barbadian habit of legalising everything (remember Clico) and challenge the government in parliament and on the hustings. That is politics, not giving power to judge-made law.
    Sinckler must now be the longest-serving finance minister in the world. He has run out of ideas. That alone means he should go.

    Sir the trigger that started Mia/s moment of theatrics in Parliament started with an analogy to chastise govts spending on the Independence followed by her short analysis of barbadians under hardships even to the extent that cabinet was about to increase the pay of the NIS board members by 200%

    These were Mia/s words
    “In circumstances where other Barbadians are having to literally scotch to be able to eat food, then I say this is the wrong message we are sending our population,”

    These are not charitable words but expectedly Mia in her hubris of discontent have found herself caught between a rock and hard place and therefore might have to go on a hunting expedition of replacement of two of her members and bite the political bullet from within her own party
    OSA must be shaking his Fking head once again ..How many times must Mia prove again she is willing to lose at any cost?

    Again why do some of you respond to ac’s jobby? Even Sinckler has admitted the error of his ways. So what does it say about ac? What is perplexing to her silly argument is why would Sinckler deny the increase took place if BLP members are on the Board. It reveals he is a pathological liar or not in command of his position in Cabinet. In the US or UK his head would be presented on a platter.

    While scrolling through comments on BU this weekend I saw where the blogger we call baffy (ah think it was he cause ah was really tired) made the point that change needs to start with the journalists. David Ellis yesterday proved that to be true. After accusing the caller named Arthur of attempting lollipop questions he proceeded to offer aid and comfort to an egg faced Chris Sinckler. The first question that needed to be asked was what caused this sudden turn around in policy? The same Chris Sinckler and let me quote him”I don’t know why Kelly does bother to call them” needed to explain why is it now so important to use the medium that reaches the largest audience, as opposed to the usual Sunday evening policy announcements. Caught in a not only blatant but blasted lie contrition is supposed to wipe away the months of disrespect? I Don’t Think So. I’m also starting to believe that were it not for the intervention of the opposition leader CAHILL would not have been mentioned. Yes Peter Wickham has an agenda where this government is concerned. Yesterday showed that so too does David Ellis. That’s why Dennis Johnson, short fuse and all is the best moderator that sits behind the microphone anywhere in Starcom network .

    http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/79247/chris-sorry.

    The real tracesty is the incestuous relationship between both political parties, if Mia was clean, she would capsize the government with all the knowledge she has of their corrupt relationships with the business people….and theft of taxpayers money.

    And who told that dumbass Maxine McClean anyone would believe anything she says, she lies too….dont know why they even bothered trotting her out…..no one believes them besides their lying yardfowls and there are not enough yardfowls to reelect them…out with you…be gone.

    Is this intelligent AC writing or the one who is a cunt?

    Such a damage control assertion to describe Mia’s exposure of Chris Sinckler’s lie as mere theatrics. I would have agreed with you if Chris had not lied and come pretending that he did remember doing it after tendering his sorry. You cannot play theatrics with the truth when evidence exposes a lie. You are trying to do damage control in the face of overwhelming evidence that proves Chris SInckler speaks with fork tongue. And AC, Mia does not have to draw any analogies to anything to chastise this government. The hardships are not Mia’s analysis they are all around. You cannot expect to raise pay for a few people and think it is going to be acceptable by all the rest. Jesus H Christ you just laid off thousands of workers, increase taxes, talk about why you cannot pay this body or that body and yet you can raise pay for a few board members under the secrecies of the DLP leadership and then lie about it. Nobody needs Mia Mottley to tell them that this government wicked is shite. You really believe that Mia needs to be critical of the 7 million dollar investment in the 50th Celebration in order to sensitize? AC the moment your government did not want to spill the beans on the cost and your dictator Prime Minister in his big bad John style declare no one can stop this train, people were already angry with him for exhibiting more of his heartless,callous nature. Many Barbadians are annoyed at the excuses proffered by the government for allowing certain essential services to go on the brink. Their management of the economy is piss poor. He should be happy Barbadians are sufferers and not prone to violence or riots. If he thinks no protest means the people are comfortable he should think again. Sooner or later the pressure will get to them and then only God knows what will come next.

    However another side of the said matter has unlocked another set of wheels which has drag and exposed the opposition members into determining if Mia drawn out hubris to expose Chris to ridicule has not also thrown a lynch pin into the wheels of her party.
    The question being how can she talked abiut transparency and integrity when two of her members would benefit from the increase in pay albeit now played on a political theatre of poverty !lies!and deceit

    It is not like we get to hear Stinkliar, Froon, Lowe, “Shiite-Hound” (formerly AKA ‘Pitbull’), the AG, Dr Byer etc regularly in an open forum. They mostly talk to ‘fowls’ …and from prepared speeches (and even that tells a story).

    I heard a bit of Brass Tacks yesterday where Mia and Chris paid lip service to a more open government. Pure BS. They are both firmly committed to withholding as much information as possible from the public. Without information it is hard to challenge the DBLP cabal. The media outlets have to get serious about pressuring both sides at every opportunity about FOIA legislation. That is the potential hole in the dike. I almost wrote dyke but that is another matter.

    @ WW&C

    The ability to tell lies with a straight face is a necessary prerequisite to become a politician.

    A few years ago StarCom Network facilitated an evening call-in- programme called “Tell it like it is,” of which Maxine McClean was a moderator. McClean often took positions that were clearly supportive of the then DLP Opposition, which prompted callers to label her as a supporter of the Democratic Labour Party.

    Obviously, McClean “categorically denied” any involvement or affiliation with the DEMS. However, immediately after the 2008 general elections, she was appointed a Senator and leader of government business in the Senate.

    Lord Fumble now has the golden opportunity to get back at his backstabbing nemesis Chris Stinkliar. As saying goes: “Time longer than twine”.

    Why not use your last months in office to punish with revenge the physically obverse Cassius-type leader of that band of disloyal followers of the dead King who made a move to oust you in your early reign of stasis.

    Now that you have firmly asserted yourself as the captain of the sinking ship Barbados, you ought to show the then obese leader of the gang of eleven, that jumped-up neophyte, who is really boss of Bim.

    Remember you said heads will roll in any failed coup d’état? As in keeping with your style honed on Molasses Hill, taking time should not be misunderstood as laziness on your part. Now is the time to sever the head of that pompous brute for lying not only to the honourable members of that august chamber but also to the entire nation.

    Don’t let Chris get away like Leroi. Make Stinkliar the bête noire for the DLP sins of the past 5 years

    Maxine McClean has been a huge disappointment. She usually sounded sensible and interested in national development when moderating the show. We now realise that she is just another shite hound politician. The absolute low point is when she accused the person(s) responsible for leaking the Cahill documents of treason.
