Peter Harris and Sandy Crest Medical Centre Forced to Drop Charges Against the Grants
On July 8, 2016, a Court decision made on June 23, 2016, some 15 days earlier, commanded less than 120 words on the Court pages of the Nation newspaper and barely a few seconds on the Voice of Barbados. In April 2012 the same Court matter was trumpeted far and wide by the Nation newspaper, Voice of Barbados and Barbados Today. The paucity of and delay in coverage regarding the dismissal of all charges against the Grants, has attracted the attention of Barbados Underground.
When it was first reported in April 2012 that medical doctor Malcolm Grant and his wife were charged with stealing 1/2 million dollars from Sandy Crest Medical Centre, BU’s immediate reaction was NO WAY! For those who do not know, Dr. Grant and his late wife solely established the parent company of Sandy Crest Medical Centre in October 2003, before inviting others, including Dr. Brian Charles, to participate in its ownership.
In the less than 120 words, the Nation newspaper editors committed to the story on July 8 (captured above) it caused alarm bells to go off in the BU household. The penultimate paragraph of the report states:-
“When the matters came up for a final time last June 23, with a representative from the medical centre present, the Court heard that the money had been paid back. Magistrate Douglas Frederick then dismissed the charges.”
The traditional media, formally labelled the fourth estate, plays a very important role in sustaining an orderly society. Any sign that the traditional media has been compromised in its mandate must be prioritized by Barbadians. BU is satisfied the local media is compromised. We have seen the local media surrender to the advertiser and the political ruling class. For those who doubt BU check the CBC TV archives to view an interview with former president Emanuel Joseph of the now defunct Barbados Association Journalists. Coincidentally, Joseph is a reporter at the Peter Harris controlled Barbados Today.
If a member of the BU household was not following the Grant case closely, the less than 120 word report by the Nation newspaper and 10 second Voice of Barbados newscast would have passed unnoticed. Dr. Grant did not pay back money to Peter Harris and Sandy Crest, the case was dropped, end of story. It would be a worthwhile exercise in determining how and why the Nation Publishing Group of Companies reported that the money was repaid? Was this primarily intended to embarrass and compromise Dr. Grant? We already know why Barbados Today will not be motivated to be prolix about the outcome of the case.

“FearPlay July 13, 2016 at 4:33 PM #: How about the Mechanics from T&T who have been contracted to repairs Transport Board buses at Mangrove Depot, something that has been kept a secret.”
@ Colonel Buggy
Fear Play was correct when he mentioned the two/three T&T “engineer consultants” that, in March 2016, “set up shop” at Mangrove Depot to repair out of service units. A fact that Michael Lashley denied when the news was first made public.
However, according to reports, UCAL was issued a directive to transport 14 buses to the Mangrove mechanical workshop to be assigned to the Trinidadians.
The general manager of the TB is a “square peg in a round hole.” Prior to her appointment as GM on Thursday, April 1, 2010, she was EMPLOYED in the BANKING INDUSTRY for 30 years.
Rather than concentrating of the effective and efficient management of the TB, this administration was more INTERESTED in CREATING HISTORY, as evidenced by the following press release:
“In its SECOND YEAR of office, on Thursday April 1st, 2010, the DEMOCRATIC LABOUR PARTY CREATED HISTORY by APPOINTING the FIRST FEMALE, Ms. Sandra Forde, to the position of General Manager of the Transport Board, whose role it will be to lead the organisation in the 21st century.” [Transport Board’s web-site]
Sandra Forde has been GM of TB for the past 6 years and under her leadership, the TB has “reverted” how it used to operate during the 1980s. What more EVIDENCE does Michael Lashley NEED to CONVINCE him that Forde is UNQUALIFIED to MANAGE transport.
This is what OCCURS when politicians APPOINT POLITICAL OPERATIVES to jobs for which they do not have the REQUISITE EXPERIENCE or QUALIFICATIONS.

@ Colonel Buggy
I found your above comments very interesting.
In MY PERSONAL OPINION, I believe an individual with experience or qualifications in fleet management should be appointed GM of the TB. A knowledgeable and experienced management team is essential to providing safe, efficient, cost-effective transportation.
Knowledge of transport economics, transport data analysis, transport modeling, public transport planning and management, logistics, etc would be beneficial to the TB.
Take a look, for example, at UWI’s MSc Transport Economics:

This type of ‘silo centered’ management discipline is counter-productive for small economies like a Barbados. If you stripe away the word ‘transport’ in the description you describe any course of study in an accredited MBA or Masters focused management program. Because we all accept that management by its nature is all about “knowledge of economics, data analysis, modeling, public planning & management, logistics etc”. A good manager then applies the learned abilities to his industry.
I would appreciate the need for focused specialization if an individual was being hunted to manage DART in Dallas, the Chicago Mass Transit, Japan Transit system or NYC MTA. All moving millions of people daily via bus, trains and in some cases water-ferries across many miles and many cities.
There is nothing demanding that level of focused thinking for an operation like the TB? What is so specific or special about the HR time management of staff (800+??) at three different satellite offices and a HQ; the purchase, maintenance, fueling of a fleet of about 250+; the logistics of riders, staff and vehicles?
The job of the GM is to direct the managers that report to him/her. Ultimately of course he or she fails or succeeds based on the total company operations but issues of ineffective maintenance goes to the manager of the department. The GM is to blame if she is causing problems with lack of proper budget cover or other issues she MUST fix.
Both of you appreciate that the 100 or so routes, the 270+ buses operated, 17 million+ riders (per year) and approximately $60 million revenue by the TB is a comparatively SMALL operation.
I have absolutely no idea of the current GM’s skills and background but surely an experienced GM for the TB needs principally to be a competent manager first and foremost.
He or she need have no specific transport industry experience per se in order to do an excellent job in such an environment.
Additionally, its often good to get a cross fertilization of ideas from different management backgrounds.

People come from wherever they come from and are allowed to disadvantage Barbadians and a government of the people for the people by the people,instead of representing the people’s interest allow furriners to come here and do as they like with impunity.”
At least you understand that these criminals Harris and his employee the DPP are being ALLOWED by both governments to do as they please, dont care how badly it affects the country or destroy it’s reputation or hurt the people..
You do understand the ramifications to the judiciary when Harris and his sleazy, unethical lawyers falsify documents to present to a supreme court judges, you do understand what happens when Harris and his lawyers falsify witness statements, blantantly present conflicting witness statements and bribe witnesses to change their statements and tell lies in the supreme court before a judge.
You do know what happens when Harris and his sleazy attorneys would falsify medical reports to present to the judges or bribe their fellow attorneys to withhold vital medical reports belonging to the claimant from the judge….without the knowledge of the injured claimant…do you know the damage and distress all these nasty actions by Harris and his sleazy lawyers cause to bajans.
Just look and see how Harris is trying to insult the blogmaster’s intelligence. .
What bajans dont know is that Harris has opened doctors offices across the island, has his own doctors to practice in them, many doctors he imported from other islands and they have to do what Harris wants or he can have them removed from the island, he also pimps these doctors out to other insurance companies. ..
What many people dont know and which had to be brought to the attention of both the useless medical board, immigration and the chief justice etc…that Harris brought Dr.Tamara Nancoo, an orthopedic surgeon over from Trinidad, she also falsifies plaintiff’s medical reports so you cannot win your case…now the court knows that conflict of interest used which destroys many cases…the chief justices needs to do something about that nastiness, it’s not like he dont know…she has been in Barbados a mere 2 years and months and has already wrought destruction on bajans. From her first year on the island she been causing destruction, no nonnational allowed to practice medicine should be presenting falsified medical reports to the supreme court against citizens..it happens nowhere else.
Bajans need to be aware of the doctors insurance companies like CGI Insurance tries to force you to be examined by outside of the doctors fueld of medical expertise, you can refuse, it is a setup.
What bajans dont know is that Harris has opened lawfirms across the island, brought in female attorneys from St. Lucia and other islands, pimp them out as necessary and uses them accordingly in his destructive setup against Bajans with the help of the DPP.
Bajans need to be very aware of the lawyers they hire and their relationships to Peter Harris’ local attorneys and those attorneys from other islands that he owns.

Man, you does freak me out wid de shiite you does write sometimes, yuh know.
Perhaps you would care to explain how the hell “This type of ‘silo centered’ management discipline is counter-productive for small economies like a Barbados?”
To suggest that a manager “need have no specific transport industry experience per se in order to do an excellent job in such an environment” is a “lotta shiite, boss.”
Okay, if I follow your logic, the CEO of LIAT only needs to have a MBA in “any course of study,” since the airline has about 9 aircraft and is confined to the Caribbean, as opposed to a CEO who manages an airline that is confined to travelling between European or African countries.
So, the GM of the Arawak Cement Plant or Rock Hard Cement “need have no specific (cement) industry experience per se in order to do an excellent job in such an environment,” because they are only making a few bags of cement and employ 800+, when compared to Golden Bay Cement in New Zealand.
Or, the CEO of a construction company “need have no specific (construction) industry experience per se in order to do an excellent job in such an environment, because the firm may be contracted to build a few houses per year and a road or two, as opposed to ADCO Construction in Australia that builds skyscrapers.

On this one you are late to the party as there has been ample criticism of Ms. Forde’s stewardship of the TB on this blog. When the leader proves to be incompetent then people will chime in on his or her lack of experience and offer their opinion on the requisite skills necessary to manage a particular position.
Now you’ve admitted that you know nothing of the current GM’s “skills and background” which should be your starting point instead of providing a text book analysis on management. “David” has rightly chimed in on the fact that someone running 10 man operation should not have been given the reins of a large public Utility on which thousands of Bajans depend.
Running a small bank Branch in Barbados is relatively easy as management goes, personnel salaries are preset either by HO or by agreement with Unions. The manager has to ensure schedules for staff are adhered to and periodically peek out of the office to see that the lines are moving, they may have to initial certain transactions as they may exceed the teller’s limit. They may have to manage overdrafts i.e. ensure that Client ‘A” overdraft doesn’t exceed their limit and if it exceeds what steps they will take to cover same. The manager may have certain targets to grow their lending/mortgage portfolio and even then they can’t authorize certain amounts without HO approval. All aspects of property management are the responsibility of HO, the only area that causes problems for the manager is interpersonal skills with various staff members who do not see eye to eye, because people are people and oftentimes do not get along in small or large groups. Contrast all of that with managing a multi- million dollar entity like TB when one doesn’t have either the technical skills and their management skills is the equivalent of piloting a Cessna and the being asked to fly a 767….. crashing and burning will be the result and the Bajan taxpayers will be the passengers affected.

@ Sargeant July 14, 2016 at 9:30 AM #
Your contribution is “spot on.”
The March 31, 2010 press release issued by the TB relative to Forde’s appointment as GM did not give any specific information as to her qualifications.
However, it mentioned that she had over 30 years experience in the banking industry as well as “skills in the key areas of service management, operations and human resource management, cost containment and revenue enhancement techniques WILL PROVE TO BE INVALUABLE to the ORGANIZATION as it seeks to reduce it dependency on the largesse of the government of Barbados.”
Obviously, she would have acquired those skills in the banking industry, especially considering her 30 years experience before her being appointed GM of TB in April 2010.
So far under Ms Forde’s tenure, we have seen a DETERIORATION in the management of service; operations; fleet; and human resources (TB has been the centre of much industrial action); cost containment (e.g. TB owes NIS $32M and UCAL $22M, as well as other providers of goods and services); and the revenue enhancement techniques are perhaps still in the developmental stages for the past 6 years.
As a result, TB has not “reduced it dependency on the largesse of the government of Barbados.”
Therefore, we could “accurately” conclude that Ms Forde has FAILED to ACHIEVE ANY of OBJECTIVES as OUTLINED in the press release, and as such, she is an ABYSMAL FAILURE.

Very good questions, which can only be answered by lazy and compromised government ministers.
They first gotta get rid of the compromised DPP, only the government can do that. I don’t know what’s taking them, obviously they do not care anything about the people whose votes they are now pimping to win the next elections and be reelected, so if they cannot get rid of Leacock, there is no reason to reelect they…they are useless.
Harris will be greatly weakened if he has no more protection from Leacock, he is dependent on the weaknesses of the government and court system to survive in Barbados, take away those protections and his fall will be swift, if he does not change the way he does business…but first Leacock has to be removed.
Harris’ lawyers have all the dirt they need to keep government ministers and politicians who are lawyers like themselves, in line….the AG is clearly useless in that regard that he is unable to go after white color criminals who can remind him what he also did when practicing law, before becoming a politician, so much so that he does no work at all…no need to reelect him.
Fruendel is so useless, he can’t even fire a minister…no need to reelect any of them, all compromised.
Mia, when elected will be known to be closely aligned with Peter Harris with him claiming to be her advisor.

However, I submit to you that her failures and those of managers past are as much a function of the politicization and entrenched folly that permeates the operational realities at the TB as they are lack of management competences.
And to your examples, absolutely I would extrapolate the logic that the CEO of LIAT only needs to have a MBA or other solid management track record of success in a comparable size operation. The key aspects here are “solid management track record of success“.
No one disputes that specialized skills are needed. But to realistically look at operations like TB, LIAT or Arawak and suggest that very competent managers not initially trained in those specific areas cannot lead successful companies is unreal.
You certainly remember that LIAT had experienced industry professionals as CEOs/GMs and still they failed. They had competent managers who were not initially steeped in the industry. They failed too. Politicization!
From memory the owners of Rocklyn Bus comp ran an operation – with some success – and were not articled MBAs or industry ‘experts’. But they were good and competent in their ‘management’ and gained expertise as they progressed.
Later, for the rest.

@ Dribbler
Yes, I agree that “the owners of Rocklyn Bus comp ran an operation – with some success.”
However, I hope you are not trying to compare Mrs. Rock operating a bus service in the 1960s with TB’s operations in 2016.
Let us engage in “practical and reasonable discourse.”
Whereas Rocklyn Bus Company’s [RBC] fleet comprised of about 25 buses, their market segmentation and target market were confined to St. Andrew, hence the company serviced St. Andrew routes only, TB has a fleet of over 200 buses, which service the entire island.
Additionally, in those days the “passenger traffic” much smaller as compared with today, and the last bus, in some cases, was at 6pm or 8pm.
In TB’s Princess Alice terminal, for example, has to allocate buses to service routes such as Eden Lodge, Holder’s Hill, Cave Hill, Grazettes, Wansted, City Circle, St. Albans, Speightstown, Connell Town, Josey Hill, Boscobelle, Indian Ground, St. Lucy’s Church, Sturges, District D and St. Andrew’s Church, every hour.
RBC’s buses were used to service particular routes. For example, anyone seeing A336 would know that is the St. Simon’s bus or A65 is the White Hill bus. Hence, there was no need for management to know “demographics.”

A Simple Response: Not quite factual. The Rocklyn Bus Company ran at least one route that is identical to that now run as the Transport Boards’s Rock Hall route. That is the bus left Bridgrtown (directly in front of St. Mary’s Church) which was then the bus stand, but is now a public park, and travelled out of town and along Eagle Hall, Green Hill, Warrens, Redman’s Village, Orange Hill, Westmoreland, Bakers, Black Bess and to Rock Hall and back along the same route to Bridgetown

A Simple Response: Where is your data? When the Rocklyn Bus Company was in business very few Bajans cars. I recall those buses being jam packed with housewives, hawkers, store and government clerks, firemen and policemen, and school children, country children who were being educated at the Modern, the Federal, the Wakefield, the Cooperative, Lynch’s Secondary (Green Lynch) and other private secondary schools which catered to working class Bajans.

We know that DPD’s argument doesn’t hold water but yuh don’t have to beat down on DPD anymore yuh aint see he promised to return to the discussion but he missed the bus and is “rambling’ bout the countryside. The Rocklyn buses also plied the Gall Hill and St. Patricks routes, e.g. The Gall Hill bus journeyed from the Fairchild Street bus stand travelled up Collymore Rock, through Wildey, Sargeant’s Village, Vauxhall, Kendal Hill, Maxwell Hill, Cane Vale to Gall Hill and ended its journey at the Lodge Road and Water Street junction.
The St. Patricks bus covered the same territory up to Vauxhall then it continued through Kingsland, Montrose, Water Street and along Lodge Road to St. Patricks.

@Sageant, LOLL. I didn’t return as events of other importance took over and I anticipated you folks had moved on. But I have no problem completing this journey. You guys are on a path that skews the entire body of knowledge of management and leadership to a direct contradiction of your previous writings here so I am comfortable watching you slide further into the abyss. LOLL.
@Artax, bro you know your buses. Wow. I couldn’t give you the nos. for any of those I caught fo my neck of the woods far less of those steaming through on their way to St. Andrew.
My friend the fact that Messrs Rocklyn ran a 25 bus outfit with some success whether only in St. Andrew or not is the point. The simple world is LEADERSHIP.
The technical knowledge from ‘professional managers’ is always necessary as we grow the business but skillful leadership is still the alpha and omega.
Undoubtedly technical skills can make a load of difference when it comes to financing dipsi-doodles, accounting rules to get the best tax breaks, avoiding HR head-aches etc etc. . Who questions that?
But if you, Sargeant and Mr Top-Management-is-paramount-10 point-plan himself the BushTea are gong to argue with me that a true leader who starts his own transportation company with the vision to grasp the logistical realities of moving buses and people around one parish does not have the basic leaderships skills and energy that are needed to LEAD a team to run an island wide system then I step off that impractical discourse.
So @Sargeant this time I would not offer to come back. No need to beat my head against the wisdom of management study and the realities that inform our knowledge of the leaders who took their ideas from rum shops, garages and their bed-rooms to become successful operations employing hundreds of people…before they employed the ‘articulated professionals’.
Appointees – competent or otherwise – who fudge up Statutory Corps which themselves are rife with politicization have absolutely nothing to do with real management and leadership and why we are even commingling the two is beyond me.

I don’t want to prolong this “discussion,” but perhaps you should admit you are a bit over your head on this one. I purposely neglect to mention a few things as it relates to the operation of Rocklyn Bus Company and the Transport Board
While TB operated depots/terminals at Haggatts, St. Andrew; Speightstown, St. Peter; Lower Green, Fairchild Street, Weymouth in Bridgetown; and Mangrove in St. Philip, in addition to the associated personnel, in house workshop and security overheads, Mrs. Rock’s buses were parked on a pasture with little or no security and she did not have similar operational overheads as TB.
But more importantly, what EVIDENCE do you have, other than assumption, that RBC and other private concessionaires were SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS, especially taking into consideration they were taken over by government, or are you presenting this argument just to “score points?”
You contribution should be dismissed based on that the fact you are suggesting management skills can be acquired in a rum shop where a number of “arm chair theorist” come out and talk shiite about how they “feel” something should work without presenting any definitive substantiating evidence.
I’m sure an analysis of the managerial operations of Rocklyn, Elite, Yonkers, Progressive, etc, would reveal a number of inefficiencies.
Additionally, you did not consider the existing industrial climate during the 1960s, at a time when autocratic management was the norm, and workers deliberately worked below full capacity. Operations during that period were simply inefficient, unsystematic, and uncooperative in nature. There were not any work performance standards for workers; therefore, “a fair day’s work” was arbitrary. Hence, bus drivers and conductors worked under adverse conditions because they had no other option to provide for their families.
Also, RBC would have been managed on a personal family-like basis and employees would have been loyal to individual supervisors rather than to the organisation.
Do you know if management selected workers who possessed the skills and abilities that match the needs of the task?
LikeLike
@Artax, I really do not know how you have taken this discussion in the specifics of Rocklyn operations and the industrial practices of the 1960s and expect to validate this discourse of the inefficiencies present then as compared to supposed efficiency present now.
With that line of reasoning if you want me to say I am over my head then so be it.
Your position and that of your cohorts speaks to a view that does not conform to my experience or my reading of management literature and case studies. Obviously your experiences and readings support your views.
The original discourse was – if you allow me to get us back there – about effective leadership/management, (2) required management skills to be successful and (3) can Bajan companies (egs TB, LIAT) expand without ‘articled’ CEOs at the helm.
My view – certainly not original – is simple. A good leader who has the ‘balls’ to start and direct a going concern and make what we accept as a decent go of it would surely have as much chance for success in the 1960s or the 2016s.
The second point was also as simple. Given the natural vagaries of life and business it is also rational and reasonable based on evidence of others to expect that a good leader would employ management specialists as her business grows and she drives for expansion in a competitive environment.
This is NOT about Rocklyn’s success per se. It is about leadership. Hers was an example. Pick another that meets your criteria if you find Rockly unacceptable.
Good leadership is not bound by times or eras. Good leadership and good management is about being adaptable. Leaders either handle the issues or the company fails or is bought by a bigger T&T/global company!!!
The use of rum-shops was for local context. Ideas are discussed many places and initiated in garages aka Microsoft or a garage in Warrens.
Let’s agree. End the discourse. This is absolutely too simple and basic to prolong with claims of ‘scoring points’ and invalid comparisons to 1960s industrial practices as if in 2016 the industrial issues are so much more impossible to decipher or resolve.

Surely they must use “pejorative, condescending remarks to “put down [an] opponent”” simple by restating facts to make a point.
Throughout the discourse with you I surely must have done all those things…the fact that they would only have come AFTER YOU said I was talking shiiittte does not in any way make this a case of mirrow-viewed name calling. LOLLL. Surely not.
My friend. let me share: like all others here I have strong opinions. I believe that I state them with decorum and decency. Right or Wrong.
I would say to you sir that ALL of the folks here who have strong opinions and get very snarky at times (you included) absolutely clash with me…. I tend to push back hard and generally use their snark right back at them.
Very few, none actually, of the posters who generally do not use snark ‘clash’ with me. We state our views disagree amiably at times and move on.
So lesson to the wise, if you can see me as so “sanctimonious … pejorative [and] condescending” it may do you the world of good to have a tad bit of introspection.

You claim to have a source in whom you have expressed a level of confidence and believe the information they provide. I also know many workers of UCAL who I respect and in whom I have a similar level of confidence, since they have not given me reason to think of them otherwise. When I speak to them INDIVIDUALLY, their INFORMATION is SIMILARLY CONSISTENT.
And as the saying goes “1,000 French-men can’t be wrong.” Unless of course you would want me to believe they REHEARSED their stories.
In situations such as these it is highly likely that one individual may exhibit a particular bias and would interpret a situation to suit that bias. And as such, why should I believe one individual over numerous others?
According to information received, there are FOUR Trinidadians, comprising of one electrician, two specialists in engine repair and transmission rebuilding and a consultant, who were also provided with accommodation at a location in St Patrick’s, Christ Church.
Perhaps your source would care to explain the rationale and justification in paying these Trinidadians as much as $1,400 per week, while Barbadians are paid approximately $720 weekly.
Another reason why I have great difficulty believing your “version of the events” is, while Simpson Motors Ltd. is contracted to repair and maintain the 2006 Mercedes Benz OH Marcopolo Torino buses and Trans-Tech and another service provider [who I cannot remember at this time], are responsible for the other buses, UCAL has been limited to undertaking specific types of maintenance of certain buses.
Unfortunately, saying you have “knowledge” and not wanting to reveal it, questions the credibility of that knowledge and its source.
At the end of the day I will respect your views on this issue.
