Mottley has lead responsibility for the CARICOM Single Market and Economy and Reparations – Nation newspaper 05 July 2018

If the blogmaster had to chose a Barbados Man of the Year Ambassador David Comissiong would win in a no contest. His body of work makes him the ideal person to function in the role as Ambassador to Caricom – for sure compared to his predecessors Bobby Morris and Denis Kellman.

Prime Minister Mia Mottley this week at the HoGs in Montega Bay, Jamaica renewed Barbados’ commitment to the regional movement CARICOM. The blogmaster also heard the open challenge given to Prime Minister Mottley by Chairman Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica in her role as lead  Prime Minister for CSME matters.

Many in this forum will debate the usefulness of CARICOM. What is clear to the blogmaster is  that to compete in today’s world, a level of cooperation between regions will have to occur. The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) sub region serves as a measure of success for what the region should aspire. Despite challenges the region (CARICOM) boast of several regional entities and frameworks that continue to serve us well.

The blogmaster is confident that David Comissiong is the ideal man to carry the baton on this league of the regional integration/functional cooperation journey. The blogmaster is equally proud that two citizen advocates who have seen the benefit of using this forum to promote tseir messages- the other Senator Caswell Franklyn- have been called to public service.

Again good luck and God speed!

    ‘Wild’ bees
    Article by

    July 6, 2018
    Outspoken trade unionist and Opposition Senator Caswell Franklyn today lashed out at Prime Minister Mia Mottley over her appointments of non-national Charles Jong as Director of Communications, and social activist and attorney-at-law David Comissiong to a senior diplomatic post, saying Mottley had “gone wild with power”.

    Since confirming to Barbados TODAY this week that he was an advisor to Mottley on Caribbean Community (CARICOM) affairs, Comissiong has been announced as CARICOM ambassador, replacing retired trade unionist Robert Bobby Morris.

    On the other hand, Jong, whose nationality is unclear at present, but who was based in St Kitts for many years, from where he participated in election campaigns in a number of Caribbean countries, describes himself on his LinkedIn page as a marketing and communications strategist with the Barbados Labour Party (BLP).

    An upset Franklyn told Barbados TODAY there was a foul stench about the appointments, and questioned why Jong should be paid by taxpayers for a post that was unnecessary.

    “The consultants to the Barbados Labour Party . . . [should] not [be] paid from public funds. That is a bill for the Barbados Labour Party, not the Government. The Prime Minister is overstepping the crease. If his LinkedIn profile is correct, he is a consultant to the Barbados Labour Party . . . .Why is he being paid by the Government?” Franklyn asked.

    The controversial trade unionist suggested that the Barbados Government Information Service was equipped to carry out any function that Jong would likely perform for the state.

    He also called for clarity on the terms and conditions of employment, including the contractual agreement between Jong and the administration.

    “What is the Government Information Service for?,” Frankly asked.

    “When was this contract tendered? Since the two of them were so close, there must be arm’s-length transaction. She just can’t come and pick up the Government money and give it to him just like that,” he stressed, going on to accuse Mottley of employing her friends at taxpayers’ expense.

    “You cannot behave like that and use the Government funds as she pleases. We don’t have much. This lady has gone wild with power,” he stressed.

    Franklyn insisted there was no need for the post of director of communications, stressing that if Jong had been working for the BLP as a consultant in the general election, “and now she is transferring that liability to the Government, that smells like corruption to Caswell Franklyn. That is wrong”.

    The Opposition senator was no less forceful in his condemnation of Comissiong’s appointment, telling Barbados TODAY the decision had left him “at a loss for words”.

    Franklyn said it also left a bad taste because of the relentless battle Comissiong had fought against the Freundel Stuart administration over its decision to grant permission for the construction of a US$100 million Hyatt hotel on Bay Street, The City, without first requiring an environmental impact assessment (EIA).

    “Was he delaying and frustrating the Government to benefit the Barbados Labour Party? This is a reasonable question to ask,” he said.

    After Comissiong sought a legal review of the decision by Stuart in his capacity as Minister responsible for Planning, the then Prime Minister sued on the basis that the social activist did not have a legal leg on which to stand.

    The High Court dismissed Stuart’s case, ruling that Comissiong did have a right to challenge the decision. Stuart appealed the ruling, and the matter is still before the court.

    Following the BLP’s sweeping victory in the May 24 general election, Comissiong offered the new administration an olive branch by stating he was prepared to discuss a settlement if the Mottley administration drops the appeal and agrees to the EIA.

    With the matter yet unsettled, Franklyn charged that Comissiong’s appointment was inappropriate.

    “It looks bad, it smells bad. He cannot be fighting against the Government on a point of principle and then quickly afterwards become a CARICOM consultant. What is that? What are his duties? His duties are a big cheque when the month comes? That, too, smells bad. And Comissiong, who holds high principles, should be ashamed,” the trade unionist argued.

    Meantime, Franklyn also criticized Government’s decision to dismiss three senior officers of the National Housing Commission (NHC), including General Manager Lanette Napolean-Young.

    He argued that it was wrong when the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) acted in a similar manner after it took office in 2008, and it is wrong now.

    “If Lanette Napolean-Young had done something wrong, there is a disciplinary procedure set up by Government to deal with her. You could suspend her pending the outcome of the disciplinary hearing, but you cannot dismiss her legally,” he contended, adding that when Barbadians handed the BLP all 30 seats in Parliament, they did not expect “this nastiness”.

    “I certainly didn’t,” he declared.

    In less than three weeks this govt has destroyed the integrity of barbados with a default on debt. Lies coming from the mouth of ministers about govt measures and having taxpayers to financially take up the debt to those that taxwriteoffs were given
    Last but certainly not least hiring unkown con artist who sits behind a computer without any form of transparency and handed to the people while the populace are asking “Who is this person call Jong”
    All roads lead to a corrupt govt who has only been in power for a month and whose mandate called for change

    Unless the government grants planning permission to the Hyatt without the EIA, Caswell’s objection is baseless. The truth is that Commissiong never hid his support for the Mia-led BLP, the man was part of the election platform. Furthermore, personalties aside, is there legitimacy to the need for an EIA? If there is, as I believe, then Commissiong’s actions were correct and therefore Caswell can file a JR in Court against the decision. I have noted that he has not questioned Commissiong’s competence for the role. On Jong, the fact that he was the BLP consultant while they were in Opposition does not preclude him from being in a similar role but for the government. It is necessary to make clear that information and communication are not the same, and the BLP will need a strong communication strategy similar to that employed in the election. This is a new era folks, and the BLP means business. Don’t forget the party was in St.John the first week of the electionn campaign.

    And I agree 100% with the dismissal of Napoleon-Young, not because she was a political appointment (even though a square peg in a round hole); but her reported behaviour during the PAC investigation into the NHC. David Thompson and the DLP government dismissed and hounded people out of the UDC, NHC, NCC and RDC for nothing. The government lost all 6 cases brought against them–ALL! In the process providing legal work for Michael Yearwood, Stephen Lashley and Guyson Mayers. Tgey also made staff redundant and unfairly compensated those individuals. Time for the Forde woman at Transport Board and Derek Alleyne to go home.

    Caswell is a very shrewd observer, and he is making a lot of sense here, as he usually does
    There is really no need to employ someone-especially a foreigner -to do a job that GIS was created to do, and has done well over the years.

    The issue is not the firing, she was obviously a political stooge who presided over a NHC when financial rules were flouted as reported in the PAC report, it is the lack of transparency in the process that fired her by Payne.

    The board was appointed by Payne.

    It would have done little harm in a few words for him to address the matter. He is a senior lawyer and should be able to craft language to avoid legal issues. Someone should remind him that his legacy is still largely defined by his silence in the Lower House under an Arthur period. Again we agree that they do nuff crap at the NHC which resulted in a frustrated Ronald Bascombe packing it in.

    The two of you seem to show constantly how slow of thought you are.

    Even the Honourable Blogmaster has sought to send you a hint that it has nothing to do with the authority to do it but the process.

    Senator Caswell Franklyn also has told you that there is a procedure to be followed

    But in your customary BLP style ON BARBADOS’ MOST READ BLOG you two, sargeants at arms in the Mottleyian regime come here and gloat at these witch hunts and personal outreaches

    I agree almost totally with the views expressed by Caswell Franklyn in Barbados Today about the apparent hiring of the BLP’s communications expert as a Communications Officer and being paid from the Government’s purse. It seems to be a most egregious development from the standpoint that there now appears to be a strategic mixing of the roles of the GIS and the BLP communications operations. Several statements have been made by Ministers over the last month in their workday ministerial roles that would normally have been broadcasted by GIS in previous administrations (if they ever saw the light of day). Such statements are now being efficiently broadcasted under the BLP logo on Facebook and also on GIS. One good example of this was the statement that Minister Bradshaw made about the Common Entrance Results. The BLP were systematically denied exposure on GIS by the past Government and this might be seen as a new way to correct that wrong. But it appears to be a clear perversion of the functions of a Party Organ and setting up the GIS for failure to fulfill its expected role..

    Someone needs to explain this apparent new policy and show how it benefits Barbados.

    Re. the Commisiong ambassadorship, I do not see any good reason for the hysteria being generated about this matter. It would appear that the main concerns that Mr. Commissiong had with the Hyatt erection was the number of stories and the lack of a recent EIA. If Government is willing to correct those areas there should be no a-priori claim that Mr Commissiong has exibited a “two-facedness” in that matter.

    In my view, Mr. Commissiong has the experience, attitude, skills, regional and international exposure, demonstrable love for Barbados and qualifications that should ensure that he will be more successful in his new job than any of his predecessors, especially at this time when our neighbour to the North is throwing as many spanners in the works as it can.

    BGIS’ Facebook account uses FB Live to broadcasts the Government’s Press Conferences and many other government events. Prior to May 24th, I don’t think one single event was FB Live. I repeat Communication is not the same as information. The appointment of a Consultant for government communication should not impinge on the duties of Government Information Service, it should be enhanced actually. Is Commissiong undermining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Mascoll the Ministry of Finance in their consultancy roles?

    A Glimpse into BU History …

    • ac August 5, 2016 at 6:14 PM #

    Now back to Mr. Bait and switch Comissiong who have for the better part of his activism had been trying for years to gain political traction in barbados and a strategy to garner a substantial following

    Word on the street that this new modus operandi is way of operating in a more pleasing environment removing harden view which would soften and address his negative image which has categorized him as a Socialist and a friend of dictators like a Chavez and Castro and late Muammar Gaddfi positioning him to be a possible leader for a viable and relevant political party in this country.

    “ac August 5, 2016 at 6:25 AM #: NO bush sh..t Comissiong is not a Caswell for all the concerns that Caswell has I would be the FIRST TO SAY that his CONCERNS are GENUINE and are not liquefied with an ideology that are in alignment or closely tied to Socialist of Communist regimes….”

    wel well another bold faced desperate attempt by artax using a net to trap a crab. in a futile attempt to bypass and avoid the relevance and connections of comissiong political leaning to socialist or communist ideologies

    As far as i know and have observed Caswell brand of political brandishing is rooted in the Labour Movement and yes his opinions can be linked to political preference however removed from Socialist and communist ideologies

    i would not retract my comment based on the fact that what i previously stated about Caswell stems from Genuine Concerns or differences between labour and governance and and not formulated with intent to gain popular support or political advantages toward leadership of this country

    You said and I quote “…Prior to May 24th, I don’t think one single event was FB Live. I repeat Communication is not the same as information…”

    Mia is going to have to stop you from coming on Barbados Underground and making these stupid comments.

    You are becoming a liability to her for IN ADDITION TO YOU AND LORENZO telling people to leave the Interpretation of the Integrity in Public Life HITLERIAN ACT to the people on the Commission here it is you ingrunt self telling people that the Face Pages of the BLP are not used to harvest the information of friends and their friends networks WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE USER.

    This is one of the reasons that I have been asking the Honourable Blogmaster for his General Data Protection Policies which, WHEN I LOG ON USING AN IP ADDRESS IN THE EU, he should be giving me.

    But to the substantive point.

    The reason that wunna CANNOT USE THE BGIS FB interface is because your web app developers do not want to use, RATHER WOULD NOT BE WISE TO USE YOUR HARVESTING APIs while under the government’s chapeau.

    Now the fact exists that very few of the ignoramuses at the GIS know or understand this aspect of spying on people and getting information as to who is my facebook friend and the frequency of my interactions with various of my networks, BUT THAT IS A POSSIBILITY that wunna cant risk.

    Because AS OPPOSED TO SEEKING TO RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS with a fair hand wunna looking to mek Mottley Prime Minister for Life.

    Once again de ole man would encourage Madamoiselle Prime Minister Mottley to stop with these machinations of seeking to secure her tenure and pursue good governance so that people will see her by her works.

    ANd be aware that “UNLESS THE LORD GUARDETH THE CITY, THE WATCHMAN GUARDETH IN VAIN…”

    But this is lost on all wunna heathens and pretend Christians like Sandra and Senator Williams bless wunna souls

    Thanks for your 5:58 pm post.

    I could have sworn that I saw the BLP logo on the live telecasts of some of those events and on the later GIS news reports of the events. Grateful if you could confirm that It could not have been so and that I was mistaken.

    Grateful also if you or someone else could detail the differences between Communication and Information in the context of the job description of the Communications consultant. Indeed, it could clear up the confusion in my mind, and perhaps others, if GIS could provide Information to the general public on the role, functions and staffing of the Government’s (new?) Communication department vis-a-vis the role, functions and staffing of the GIS.

    Let me answer those questions for you BEFORE THEY GET CALLIFLUXED and provided for you by MAM.

    The Secret Police of the Reich DID NOT SHARE THEIR INFORMATION WITH THE NORMAL POLICE FORCE.

    You must not be watching those movies with the usual rivalry between FBI and the parochial country bumpkin police.

    Ostensibly the Information and Communication functions are the same to the uninitiated eyes of we THE SHEEPLE but subcutaneously that which is being harvested and implemented deals with what your drive downloads to the pervasive specialized FB app of the BLP and what it persistently uploads to them on the 9000 ports of your machine thereafter

    Let me see how de ole man can help you with this

    I want you to go to this site and install this Netlimiter software

    https://www.netlimiter.com/products

    What it will do for you is to show you what apps are seeking access to and those that are calling home, FROM YOUR COMPUTER.

    THis is what Long has been engaged to do and is being paid to do for the BLP UNDER THE GUISE AND COVER OF COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT OR WHATEVER HIS TITLE IS.

    THis is what I have been hinting to Senator Caswell Franklyn about for some time now but…

    @ Senator Caswell Franklyn

    Maybe you should take a course with the Grandson so that when next you are speaking in the Senate you can rely on this type of information

    “…Jong first gained national attention in March 2014 when then MP for Marigot, Edison James, clashed with House Speaker, Alix Boyd-Knight when he (Jong) was seen manning a camera in parliament.

    “There is a stranger in the house, madam speaker, and I ask that the stranger be asked to withdraw,” James told the proceedings. “This stranger is manning the camera up there. I understand his name is Charlie Jong.”

    Later Boyd-Knights ruled that James’ request could not be entertained since Jong was not a stranger but was attached to the Government Information Service (GIS).

    When James asked for more information Boyd-Knights said her ruling was final.

    Later in March 2014, documents surfaced which showed that the government of Dominica was paying $96,000 for a one-year contract to Jong for ‘Public Relations and Information Management Services.’

    That is an excerpt that can be found at

    http://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/human-interest/charles-jong-joins-mia-mottleys-team-in-barbados/

    It just goes to show you that as Madamoiselle Prime Minister Mia Mottley has said that “you can hide and buy land but you cannot hide and wuk it”

    The imputation that is being ascribed here per this article’s commonality with the GIS in Dominica and that of the Government of Barbados while not so obvious to the eyes of SHEEPLE ARE PRETTY OBVIOUS TO THE OLE MAN.

    However if Senator Caswell Franklyn were as smart as I beleive him to be an enquiry of Edison James in Dominica would go a long way in giving some much needed background on the mysterious Mr Long of the Long arm of the Law – Mia’s Law’

    De ole man asks all of you to let Google be your friend

    ammmmmmm you should not use google though I suggest that you install and use duckduckgo.com on your machines since your searches are private and your ISP provider CANNOT share with Mia or this government or any subsequent government who has been searching for what…

    But here she got slime running stupid witch hunts and doing these sleight of hand appointments.

    If de man is so effing good hire his ass yourself and let him justify his appointment as a cuntsultant.

    Stop giving people reasons to fear your actions which are so patently dictatorial.

    We are not as much concerned with Locking up David Thompsons wife for the CLICO money.

    Dat is not going feed our collective scvunts we want an enabling environment where each bajan can wuk for a dollar and not have to suck Michael Lashes infected parts to get a pick at a ministry “cause de pokey sweet have some”.

    But then again this seems to be “a Bridge Too Far” even for you

    Keep on Smartly…

    You are a Mia Pimp and there is nothing that you can say that does not make me relinquish my statement that you are part of her inner circle who she permits some latitude to continue making these statements to downplay the obvious PR fvckups that she is making.

    But you may have the last word on that RATHER SHE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR ORDERS SOON

    @ Senator Caswell Franklyn

    The article continues

    “…At the end of March 2014, the United Workers Party (UWP) called on the government to terminate the contract and threatened legal action if it was not done.

    According to the UWP Jong’s appointment as an “overtly political assignment” which should be paid by the Dominica Labor Party “and not be cleverly passed on to the State’s treasury under false pretenses.”

    DO THOSE LAST LINES SOUND FAMILIAR SENATOR FRANKLYN?

    What is the pattern that is being repeated here?

    I would tell you what long was doing in the Dominican Parliament but then again I shall leeave that till another time when wunna start seeing tings happening and wonde how de ef dat going on.

    You are entertaining these trojan horses and therefore need not wonder how your private conversations with your buddies, now ***, are making their way back to ***

    And do not say that you do not care what is exposed. You have to care because you are representing the interests of people and if they know what your strategies are, then you are de-neutered even before you fire a bullet

    There are two Issues

    Did his job, which is paid by government money go out to tender? If so when was that? (BTW me grandson could do wid some extra money you think Mia wud pay cud hire he under the mattress in the same way she hired Bim Pay-mi long?
    Then your observation which is that he is being paid by GoB money and does that not constitute a breach of some government rule somewhere, given that Long, a former BLP employee is now being paid unilaterally, using government money?

    Enuff;

    Thanks for your response of 8:52 pm.

    Seems like you are avoiding educating people like me (old fogies that don’t know anything about GDPR or PIMRHP) on easier subjects like Communications and Information and their interface as they are being practiced by the new Barbados administration.

    Seems to me that It might benefit the new government, somewhat, if it develops a proactive strategy for dealing with the information on Jong’s track record in Dominica and St Kitts and how that has no relationship with his current high profile posting here in Barbados, especially since a number of OECS countries, seem, from my imperfect memory, to have been rumoured as being involved in the early manifestations of Cambridge Analytica or SCL.

    It seems to me that transparency in this regard might be a strategy that could show dividends re. future questions on this topic before or after the BLP honeymoon period has ended.

    @ Senator Caswell Franklyn

    When next you go back to the Senate and continue your conversation about Mr Jong you might do well to bring up this information that is on the same website that the grandson sent you earlier

    http://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/politics/uwp-calls-immediate-cancellation-charles-jong-contract/

    “…“The Government agrees to pay the Consultant the total contract price of Eastern Caribbean dollars $96,000.00 payable in twelve (12) monthly payments in arrears at the rate of $8,000,” the document reads.

    The contract began in November 2013.

    But in a letter to cabinet secretary, Steve Ferrol, who signed the contract on the behalf of the government, opposition leader, Hector John, made it clear that the UWP is not pleased with the arrangement.

    He has called for a $40,000 refund to the state’s purse, which he said has been paid to Jong so far.

    “Failing this, the United Workers Party will exhaust every legal facility at its disposal to ensure that justice is done in the public interest,” the letter said.

    In his letter John described Jong’s appointment as an “overtly political assignment” which should be paid by the Dominica Labor Party “and not be cleverly passed on to the State’s treasury under false pretenses.”

    John gave the following reasons which, he said, made the arrangement “highly irregular”:

    • We are not aware that there is any shortage of public servants assigned to provide the services outlined in the Agreement;
    • We are not aware that there was any public advertisement inviting tenders for the provision of these services;
    • Mr. Charles Jong has been conspicuously engaged in blatant political campaign work for the Dominica Labour Party since the commencement of the contract and for its duration to date;
    • Mr. Charles Jong has openly violated the legal arrangements under which the proceedings of Parliament are broadcast live to the people of Dominica; and
    • Under the authority of this Agreement, Mr. Charles Jong threatened to be the worst nightmare of the Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of Dominica.

    “Clearly, Mr. Jong is serving the Dominica Labour Party and not the Government of the State,” John wrote…”

    Wasn’t it Roosevelt Skerritt of Dominica who wanted the get rid of the opposition like Keith Mitchell in Grenada and now Mia Mottley in Barbados?
