It was recently announced, by the Government Information Service, that the Protective Service Commission has approved the appointment of Mr. Oral Williams on promotion to the post of Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Royal Barbados Police Force, with effect from May 1, 2020.

I really don’t know if I should congratulate or offer commiserations to Mr. Williams. This has nothing to do with his fitness for the post. I do not know of his work or performance as a senior police officer and cannot speak to his fitness. My concern is that he has been appointed to a non-existent post, since someone is already substantively appointed Deputy Commissioner.

The Police Act, Chapter 167 of the Laws of Barbados, states at section 6:

The Force shall consist of a Commissioner, a Deputy Commissioner and such number of Assistant Commissioners, Superintendents, Inspectors, subordinate police officers and constables respectively as does not exceed the number provided by any order made under section 2 of the Civil Establishments Act: but the members of the Force at 16th October 1961, shall continue to be members of the Force and shall be subject to this Act.

The number of persons appointed to the post of Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner is subject to primary legislation, in this case the Police Act, and can only be changed by an amendment to that Act done in Parliament. On the other hand, the Police Act goes on to give the Minister responsible for Civil Establishments the power, by subsidiary legislation, to determine the number of Assistant Commissioners, Superintendents, Inspectors, subordinate police officers and constables.

For completeness, the Civil Establishments Act was repealed and replaced by the Public Service Act on December 31, 2007. The power to determine the number of posts in the Public Service is now found at section 13.(1) of the Public Service Act.

The power to make appointments to public offices and to remove and to exercise disciplinary control over persons holding or acting in the Public Service is vested in the Governor-General, acting in accordance with the advice of service commissions, in this case the Protective Service Commission. That service commission, like all others in Barbados, can only recommend the appointment of persons to post that are available. There is only one post of Deputy Commissioner available and that is already filled.

Who is responsible for this cock-up? Is this yet another example of this Government not getting anything right the first?

    His statement was to set him as equal to SSS.

    RENTED JACKASS HEE HAW you unfortunately is not got any class and, whereas Rented Jackass does have his head up Mugabe’s behind periodically he pulls it out.

    yall must have moved the island last night cause up to 2 weeks ago…the protrusion was still there…liar..and and ya lies on BU gave Roleric a stroke…

    DavidJuly 20, 2019 5:27 PM
    Confirming the protrusion was removed, former Coverly entrance/exit shifted to the roundabout, plants removed and area leveled to avoid collision.

    “Confirming the protrusion was removed, former Coverly entrance/exit shifted to the roundabout, plants removed and area leveled to avoid collision.”

    look…the place is still damn dangerous…there is still an island to the left right right in front the entrance……which has to be maneuvered as i said…because there is a WIDE ASS UGLY ROUNDABOUT TO THE RIGHT OF THE ISLAND…and now both has to be manauevered..

    .Maloney just added crap to make the place more dangerous…maybe shaved off a piece of the island because he was hellbent on keeping it there to continue killing people…but both the island to the left and the wide round about are dangerous…we will know the next person gets killed there..

    According to the liar, two weeks prior to July 20 2019 the protrusion was still in place. Yet the local newspapers reported the protrusion not only gone but a new roundabout since JANUARY 2019, not 2 weeks but 6 whole months prior to WARU imaginary sighting, just like the imaginary maloney houses. A pathological liar.


  9. Lorenzo
    Don’t you worry. I can deal wid all ah dem. Let them gather. One said I claimed to be a project manager, now the other claiming I wanted to set up muhself as a marketing manager with SSS/Ms.EU MM. I am neither and never claimed to be.🤣🤣

    YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT MIA’S RED BAG OF LIES AND THE CROOKED MARK MALONEY AND SINCLAIR NOW A KEY PART OF YOUR BLP PARTY CORRUPT CABAL.

    EVEN IF @Waru IS LYING SHE IS NOT DECEIVING TAXPAYERS, TAKING AWAY THEIR FREEDOMS OR INVOLVED IN KICKBACK/BRIBE SCHEMES ORCHESTRATED BY PAST AND CURRENT POLITICIANS AIDED BY MARK MALONEY AND CHRIS SINCLAIR COSTING TAXPAYERS MANY MANY MILLIONS $$$$.

    @Waru IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF BARBADOS LOOKING ON I AM SURE LIKE MYSELF THINKING THAT YOU ALL CAN’T BE SO STUPID TO THINK THAT EVERYONE WILL ACCEPT THE CORRUPTION AND PRETEND IT IS NOT THERE.

    So while that assignment is being decomposed by the Honourable Blogmaster let us continue and not get sidetracked from the main topic like they want us to be distracted

    Heheheheh

    The questions posed by the goodly Senator are

    “…Who is responsible for this cock-up?…”

    And the response is Mugabe Mottley because it is she who is the boss, not Teets Marshall

    He is the boy in the yard!

    “…Is this yet another example of this Government not getting anything right the first?…”

    Unfortunately the Senator frame this question as a gentleman of his stature would.

    But it should read as follows

    “…Is this yet another example of this DICTATORSHIP attempting to undermine bajans civil rights first?…”

  16. HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND AND BARBADOS THE LAND OF LOOKING THE OTHER WHILST CORRUPTION IS BUSINESS AS USUAL.

    The FBI Is Investigating Sen. Richard Burr For Insider Trading

    The Justice Department has launched an investigation into Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who dumped millions of dollars in stock just before the coronavirus crisis hit.

    The Wall Street Journal reported, “The Justice Department is examining whether lawmakers traded ahead of the market turmoil caused by the coronavirus pandemic based on confidential briefings they received, according to a person familiar with the matter. As part of that inquiry, the FBI has reached out to Sen. Richard Burr (R., N.C.), said the person.”

    Burr, due to his position as Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, received two confidential briefings in January in February. After being briefed, Burr warned a group of his political donors to prepare for the coronavirus and he sold $1.7 million in stock.

    Calls for Burr to resign have come from both Republicans and Democrats.

    I remember dat well. Um was only de Oder day and de Alzheimer’s ain’t set in yet.

    Dat was a sad ting. A real sad ting. De only ting doh half crack is dat I hear dat just before dis covid ting we did record a six percent surplus. Now Silversleeves as I say din in school too long so I doan really onstan de fancy language but somebody tell me dat de books get balance and dat guvment was fuh de first time in years spending less den it was earning. Now I ain’t know nein bout Economics and unlike Chris I neveR had to learn it pun de job. But I did run a household so I onstan the basic concept. So because of various of de guvments policies the country was back on its way to batting centuries just before dis covid ting hit.

    So yes half crack piece dat was sad. Same way dat sending home dem civil servants was sad. And de Oder sad tings de guvment did do. And I real sorry. But I know de guvment ain’t had nuh choice. Why else would a guvment wid unparalleled popularity wants to do unpopular tings so early on? It cuh only be because Dey had no choice.

    So half crack, while you and your band uh loser friends did hey complaining, de prime minister did saving de country. But den yu wouldn’t know dat. De only ting yu know is dat Mia is worse dan Hitler. Yu is a real clown Piece. I got a great nephew, a real smart fella, almost like de youngster on hey, and he would say dat yu is a bona fide clown.

    The same thing you’re accusing black people of you exemplify daily on BU, by seeking to define and often mischaracterising black people you do not know. From being one of only 2 black people in one of the then leading boutique full service PR and Advertising firms in New York City to now chairing meetings and providing “expert” advice, where 99% of the time I am the only person of colour, I have never lacked self-esteem or self-confidence due to the presence of, or out of some inferiority complex to, humans of less melanin. Wuh I have even been a knowledge resource for white, foreign, graduate students conducting research in Bdos, sent by their white Professors. So hush yuh mout and stick to conspiracies, but don’t come for or at me. Some of us are woke naturally; others appear to be woke, when it’s just the medication working.🖐🏾

  27. Extracted from FB

    Hal Austin For reasons best known to themselves, some people are prepared to accept this prime minister, whose style is very presidential, as somehow dynamic. She is snot. In fact, public relations aside, she is the worst prime minister we have had so far, even including Stuart. She came to power on May 25, 2018, and by May 30th had defaulted on our internal and external debt. That was so irresponsible it was frightening. She established BERT, then rolled back on it when CoVid hit; then she appointed a CoVid economic council, then went ahead and announced a so-called stimulus, even though the council was given four weeks to reach a decision; and, we still do not know who the members of the council are. All we have been given are the names of the chairs of sub-committees, including Mr Arthur and Chris Sinckler’s. So, will any proposals from the economic council be rejected or, if accepted, be part two of the stimulus? She is out of her depth. Speaking forcefully, hands flaring and pointing make go down well on a political platform, but it is not policy. So far she has demonstrated a lot of arrogance, contempt for her Cabinet, parliament and the people of Barbados. At least she has a band of supporters at some social media sites which will not tolerate any criticisms.

    Robert Morris Hal Austin keep all of the wonderful analysis in place and forego the ad hominems and harsh judgements. Keep to the facts and tone down the judgements as I am trying to. Can I ask you to critiique presidential strategies, and defaults by focusing on the policies and not the person. Sandi introduced pay cuts. We can analyse that as a policy without being ad hominem. You can do it. Hope you are getting my drift.

    Sometimes things does happen that does surprise you. I was reading through the Windrush blog and see this post by the Commander:

    April 22, 2018 8:11 AM – I would suggest to Hal for some of his contributions he resorts to anonymity. Indeed, I have seen contributions (from him) that would embarrass anyone with a sense of shame. {Quote}


  29. @Robert
    Yes, they are times when Hal has punched well below his weight and I have told him as much. At one time, I may even have referred to him as an “ahole” and of course “Haha”..

    But more often than not, I have referred to him as “brilliant” and stated “that he is punching well above his weight”..

    He is too complicated a man to be described by two or three words. There is some variability in the quality of hhis contributions. At times he has excelled and at times he delivered (In my opinion) much less than can be expected of him (based on his past work).

    So yes, he has days of sheer brilliance, but ever so often he fails to reach the thermosphere,

    I hope thatyou are man enough to print an example of where I called him “Brilliant”, if you come across it, then I would be forced to add the word “honest” to my description of you, but until then ….

    “View of MIchael Carrington

    I saw a clip of Ms. Mottley’s response to a question but the illegal appointment of Mr. Oral
    Williams to a non existent post of Deputy Commissioner of Police and the resignation of
    Attorney General Dale Marshall. It was delivered with the usual panache and political gimmickry
    which Ms. Mottley seems to have perfected, and which has apparently endeared her to so many;
    excluding yours truly.
    I watched closely from my vantage point during the years 2008 to 2018, and I could always tell
    when she was really rattled: speaking quickly, prancing up and stringing together a number of
    superlatives laced with facts apparently known only to her good self. This is followed by a look
    of satisfaction as if Mount Everest had just been scaled. Reminds me each time of a batsman
    who walks to the crease in a test match with his team in trouble, scores a scintillating 37 off 20
    balls before losing his wicket to a loose pugnacious shot and swaggers off the field waving to
    his disappointed supporters apparently having forgotten that it was not a T20 game!
    Yesterday was not a time for political grandstanding; for bothering about what goes on in
    George Street; for rehashing political gossip! It was the perfect opportunity to come clean with
    the people of Barbados, if that was at all possible.
    Ms. Mottley well knew of the public concern that has been raised since Senator Franklyn’s
    first statement on the matter; she knew of Minister Marshall’s initial response; she knew of
    the Editorials in the media on the subject; she knew of Minister Marshall’s admission that the
    purported appointment was illegal and would be fixed as soon as Parliament was resumed post
    COVID19! Despite all this knowledge, she uses a staged scene to state unequivocally that the
    appointment was legal. Of course, if the Prime Minister is correct on this point, it means that the
    said Attorney General Marshall, who is so competent, so well respected in CARICOM and who
    enjoys her full support and confidence was wrong and or was lying.
    So what has Ms. Mottley so rattled? Is it the burden of the stalled Hyatt Hotel? Is it the pressure
    of Cabinet member(s) on the brink of revolt? Is the the bungling of the educational system in
    the face of COVID19? Is it the stalled economy, which seems unlikely to be jump started by the
    COVID19 resultant largesse? What is it?
    I’ve had the benefit of reading the piece captioned “To Thine Own self be true ” and written by Dr.
    Derek Alleyne. That succinct piece beautifully articulates the reality of where we are as a nation.
    It’s crunch time. All is not well.
    This administration must be called to account now, for mismanagement of the economy
    PRE-COVID19. All indicators are that the economy was still struggling seriously in spite of the
    much vaunted but otherwise overpriced debt restructuring at the advise of an Oak Tree, and the
    IMF with the resultant BERT including its disguised increases in taxation and other stringencies..
    At her last press conference the Prime Minister mentioned that the Nation Newspaper had
    hinted at increasing taxes and job cuts since January, but she had yet to see any! She’s waiting
    and softening Barbados up before she makes her moves! We have to recognize that COVID19 is
    tailor made for this administration.
    Therefore, this Blp administration can and will: 1. Use COVID19 as a cover for any and everything
    that has not gone right since 2018; and 2. Use all concessions and aid it gets domestically,
    regionally and internationally as a result of COVID19 to feather its nest a la Sandy Lane
    CharitableTrust. We cannot let that happen.”


  33. It really is brave to use Democratic Labour Party talking points to buttress and argument. Very courageous! The irony is rich. So clearly all can follow my pattern of logic re the association of this affair with the DLP. Silversleeves called it a conspiracy. I wouldn’t go so far apart from to say the unintentional mouthings of supporters like WARU make it more and more transparent.

    ya hear lie, that is lie…lol

    “David
    I do but the Salemites who embracing a serial liar are not to mislead this blog into thinking I come on BU and lie.”

    liar, liar, panties on fire…..poor Enuff, short memory and shorter attention span….ah keep telling alyuh, ya short memory will be the end of ya fowlism..

    “Salemite
    The same thing you’re accusing black people of you exemplify daily on BU, by seeking to define and often mischaracterising black people you do not know. From being one of only 2 black people in one of the then leading boutique full service PR and Advertising firms in New York City to now chairing meetings and providing “expert” advice, where 99% of the time I am the only person of colour, I have never lacked self-esteem or self-confidence due to the presence of, or out of some inferiority complex to, humans of less melanin. Wuh I have even been a knowledge resource for white, foreign, graduate students conducting research in Bdos, sent by their white Professors. So hush yuh mout and stick to conspiracies, but don’t come for or at me. Some of us are woke naturally; others appear to be woke, when it’s just the medication working.🖐🏾”

    That is all well and good but again lest you forgot, how does cutting and pasting Carrington’s view help your case against the Administration? It definitely gives it a distinct veneer of reliability and credibility 🤣🤣🤣

  37. WURA-War-on-U Avatar

    It’s the administration have to PROVE THEY ARE NOT LYING…not me..the onus is ON THEM…..i did not appoint anyone illegally….multiple lawyers already said what they did IS ILLEGAL…no matter how much Williams deserves the post….they are using that to continue their illegal act…but that does not make it any LESS ILLEGAL…

    i think you need more experience when you CANNOT distinguish what is ILLEGAL from what is not…illegal is illegal and nothing changes that no matter how many lies the PM tells…

    ah beg ya, try not to pursue a career in law, you will be massacred….

    poor fowl Enuff…caught in her own lie…boasted and boasted so much trying to oneup the Salemite…and then FORGOT…lol…ah want her to add to her post, just like i added to mine, which she maliciously went and dug up…add to your post…if ya woman Enuff.


  38. Oh ho WARU. I understand. You can make unsubstantiated allegations, spouting off without a care about proof. I mean that makes sense. Although the Canadians designate that a crime called public mischief.

    Your fantastic revelation about those poor stranded students in Jamaica and the context and reality of the situation which followed ought to have taught you something about your favourite pastime.

  39. WURA-War-on-U Avatar

    You will note that YOUR definition of PUBLIC MISCHIEF…comes with no consequences to ME…you should ask yourself WHY??

    you are way out of your depth here…and ya still don’t know it….i have been telling you for WEEKS …just like others have….that you know not that you know not..

    unless you have UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE…it’s best to just look on and learn…comment only if you are absolutely sure that no one can rebut and destroy your youthful enthusiasm….to be a fowl..


  40. That is all well and good but you can’t cut and run from this one. What is the usefulness to your point brought by Carrington’s comments? What does it say about your unsubstantiated views?

    Kindly answer that before you cut and run away from yet another of your embarrassing assertions.

  41. WURA-War-on-U Avatar

    oh please…kid ya getting aburrido, boring……i have been on here for 8 years, never cut and run yet, it’s all in ya delusional mind…if you cannot READ and UNDERSTAND…that Carrington is a MEMBER OF THE CRIMINAL SYNDICATE same as Mia, same as Dale and all the other parasites sucking on taxpayers …and are only doing what they ALL TAKE AN OATH TO DO…make fowls like you believe they are enemies and not friends and fellow thieves from the same cabal, many of them are family…then you are truly lost and if there are 50 young fools like you on the island…then there is no hope for the population nor for the future and i will never pin mine on you……

    they all have only one objective in mind, protect their bank accounts, their corruption and bribery…and use you fools no matter what…Carrington is looking for traction so the truth will come out NOW, BUT…if he finds that traction…you will see how quickly Mia hires him as her adviser….just like Sinkler…

    do you have anything else TO BORE ME WITH…

  42. WURA-War-on-U Avatar

    If all of this is above your skills of comprehension…maybe you should just leave it out.

    ..Fowl Enuff cannot even help ya…she already SHOT HER LOAD and it ended up SPLATTERED all over HER….lol..nothing new, not the first time, won’t be the last…don’t be like Fowl Enuff….

    don’t say ya weren’t warned…


  43. You are hilarious darling WARU. It’s just so early in the morning though for you to have cut and run from one of your brilliant points already. Today is shaping up to be quite an athletic day for you 🤣


  44. Some of you will accuse the blogmaster when he has reason to disallow comments on a blog. First and last warning.

    As someone who has been closely linked to the Royal Barbados Police Force [RBPF] for the past 39 years and very proud of that association, there is an inaccuracy – deliberate or otherwise – that has been stated by the PM and repeated by the DLP leader that needs to be clarified.
    Current Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Erwin Boyce was acting Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) for five years before receiving his appointment in 2017. His appointment was held up by a court case that concluded in December 2016. The promotion to ACP took effect from 2012, the year in which 15 disgruntled police officers brought an injunction to halt the promotions. The interview process for DCP was halted in 2013 when the now late Seymour “Pustard” Cumberbatch brought an injunction to halt that process. This injunction was withdrawn in 2017 after the ailing Cumberbatch reached retirement age. His departure paved the way for the process of appointing a DCP to be completed in 2018. That it was an election year when the appointment was made was coincidental, the delay due to court proceedings and had nothing to do with the present incumbent.
    Erwin Boyce NEVER acted as DCP and DID NOT act as DCP for five years as implied by the PM last week, and repeated by the DLP leader in highlighting the confusion again brought to the RBPF. It is an inaccuracy that should be corrected. An unfortunate situation has arisen where the name of an honourable man in Erwin Boyce, a brilliant officer in both administrative and investigative procedure at that, has been brought unnecessarily into this sad situation. Whenever politicians regrettably meddle in the RBPF where they have no reason to, the result is the public circus now being played out. Mr Williams also should not have been dragged into the circus.
    The modern politicization of the RBPF started in 2003 and has plagued the force ever since. The external political meddling and manoeuvring only serve to destabilize the organization and the general public often suffers as a result. And this is most evident when politicians try to get their ‘men’ in positions whether they are best suited for the job or not.
    Long after these politicians have gone to meet their maker and ‘their men’ have joined them to give accounts of their transgressions, the RBPF will still be there. Leave it be!

    Wicked government ministers won’t stop meddling in the TAXPAYER FUNDED POLICE FORCE, the TAXPAYER FUNDED JUDICIARY…but it will all come to an end..

    .the PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER to put an end to corrupt ministers, lawyers and politicians…USE THAT POWER…effectively…


  46. @ Khaleel Kothdiwala May 19, 2020 5:23 AM

    If you can’t see the usefulness to the point, then you are nothing more than a political red pullet in the backyard of the poultry farm on Roebuck Street.

    Can’t you see the imaginary divide between the two groups of the BDLP con artists in the political class room with you being used as the mere message boy to carry fake news back and forth?

    Now that you are still young and relatively malleable why don’t you draw a line in the sand and learn to think for yourself and stop being a vassal of red politicians?

    Why don’t you take a read with cognitive eyes what Wade Gibbons has to say @
    David May 19, 2020 5:57 AM WRT “Wade Gibbons 17 May at 13:18 ”

    Why don’t you ask your Majesty if the red valise contained evidence about any tax liabilities which could be related to the hundred of thousands of legal fees received from the various statutory corporations like the BIDC and BWA under the aegis of the previous DLP administration and its cronies in white collar financial infelicities?

    Wouldn’t the $223,404 of VAT on that BWA invoice (to bring it to a nice tidy rounded sum of $1.5 million) go a long way in meeting some of the current Covid-19 expenditure?


  47. Thank you David!!!

    “From being one of only 2 black people in one of the then leading boutique full service PR and Advertising firms in New York City to now chairing meetings and providing “expert” advice, where 99% of the time I am the only person of colour, I have never lacked self-esteem or self-confidence due to the presence of, or out of some inferiority complex to, humans of less melanin.”

    Where in that post does it say I chair or chaired meetings in boardrooms in NYC? I tell wunna learn to READ, COMPREHEND and not to conflate. Where does it say I am in marketing, project management or project planning? Even after David reposted my comment, wunna still reading to reply rather than to understand. What makes it so laughable is that the respondents are Ivy League educated and multiple degreed.🤣🤣

    So let me break it down.

    “FROM,” (past): I worked in a PR firm in NYC and besides me there was one other blk guy. He was a rastafarian Antiguan by descent, who was the in-house graphic artist. Fact.

    “TO NOW” (present): In my current profession and industry as a whole there is a significant under representation of people who are not white, note I have not said black but non-white. My job involves chairing meetings and with less than 2% of the industry being non-white, in nearly all of the meetings I am the only person who is not white. I have 4 meetings to chair next month and so far all the other participants are white. Fact.

    My original statement remains factual and is wholeheartedly endorsed by me again in 2020, including never lacking “self-esteem or self-confidence due to the presence of, or out of some inferiority complex to, humans of less melanin.” No ducking and retracting here.

    Now where are the imaginary pics of Maloney houses? Or the protrusion at Coverley 6 months after it was removed? Laid and trapped. I tell wunna rest muh, wunna thought wunna did run me nuh.


  48. @ Enuff May 19, 2020 7:16 AM

    Man, Enuff, you are really underrating and underselling your self by doctoring ‘facts’ in order to dumb down your CV of international achievements.

    What about highlighting your vast experience in town planning and urban regeneration matters as you so flagrantly displayed you objection to the Hyatt behemoth construction under a yellow dispensation instead of the current red?

    Do you still today share similar views (as expressed below) now that the behemoth has been extended skyward like a red-painted babbling tower of Babel called the Lighthouse?
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    “Enuff June 25, 2017 7:54 PM

    “Visual impact minor”? That photograph of the proposed view says otherwise. Just look at how the sheer height and mass of the proposed building changes the entire skyline and streetscape. Now it maybe clearer to everyone why 15 storeys is too tall for a building fronting Bay Street.”

    Au contraire, the 21st century is actually about compact cities with sustainable/efficient buildings, sustainable modes of transport (walking and cycling), less cars, preservation of historic buildings, views of such buildings and urban greening. By the way, the Chief Town Planner is American trained.”

    Can we move on? We are all adults her. Suppose to be.


  50. Miller
    As usual, you have to deflect to save face. So now I am dumbing down myself. Answer this, where did I say I chaired meetings in NYC? Is that not what you accused me of saying? Now on to your Hyatt pet. Go dig into the archives some more, you may see where I talked about the plot being too small for the size and the need to consolidate the sites. You may even find that I always supported a hotel, but not a conference centre type. Not a big fan of all inclusive there either. You will find that I said the current version is better but could be improved. I am way ahead of wunna, because I understand all yuh intentions. Play the individual. I noticed yuh have no qualms with the demonstrated liar but determined to prove me as being one by any means necessary.
