Why are Regional Prime Ministers silent over their creation of CDB’s leadership crisis?

I firmly believe that the highly respected and soundly run Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is heading into serious leadership trouble. What I’ve heard is very troubling.

I am a very seasoned banker who has worked across our region. I know a thing or two about banking in the region. I’ve tried to get information directly from CDB but they have not been forthcoming at all, so please publish this letter as I have a few questions to ask.

Is it true that with the generous helping hand from our Prime Minister Keith Rowley and  the other regional Prime Ministers, the newly appointed CDB chairman, Prime Minister Mia Mottley from Barbados, has instructed that the bank appoint her advisor, a British national, as the new president of CDB? Wouldn’t this selection and appointment stink of blatant nepotism and cronyism and taint Barbados? Can a chairman of CDB select the President of CDB from his/her own previous clients and own pool of personal advisers? And no other Prime Minister can stop it?

What about qualifications of the individual being imposed on CDB? Is the British advisor more qualified than any other Caribbean professional to run the Bank? The President of CDB is always a person from the Caribbean of high stature, regional intellect and integrity. Does this British advisor even have a Caribbean identity? Does he know and understand what it takes to achieve successful regional development? Does he have a record of successful projects in the Caribbean? Has Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and the region not learned anything from the many hotel debacles and the many other failed development projects that die and only leave the lawyers and advisers rich. There are many other highly qualified bankers and economists with good track records of integrity and success in the region who can run CDB.

There are many options. Why has Rowley failed to nominate any experienced banker, economist, or academic from Trinidad and Tobago? Trinidad and Tobago has majority stocks and votes in the bank. Where is Prime Minister Rowley’s voice and why would all the region’s Prime Ministers Gonsalves, Browne, Holness who are so usually loud about regional issues suddenly stay silent and surrender so meekly to Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s moves to capture CDB for her adviser? What is really going on with this coming ugly affair? Something looks very rotten in the region.

Will our Caribbean leaders find the good sense and fortitude to avoid the stench of cronyism and do the right thing to keep the Caribbean in the leadership of the CDB and to maintain its development focus? The dodging must stop. The Prime Ministers and CDB must start talking. We deserve to know.

    It was a righness to withhold the writer’s name or moniker.

    The central question is pertinent. Obviously we are talking about the fake professor.

    It was this writer who warned that that idiot would eventually cause trouble for this country. Now maybe our region.

    What is this man’s claim to fame? What has he got on Mugabe that she would risk the integrity of the CDB for an idiot. An idiot who failed her but now he must seek to fail the region as well

    i have reported on this blog how MAM is maneuvering family and friends in strategic positions in Govt. and SOE local and regional. the pattern is not difficult to discern despite the clothing of going thru a process- a process that is decided by her handpicked overseers.

    always remember this-

    OSA called MAM a despot or something so

    At a time when the country is at its lowest ebb.

    A time when Bajans continue to face higher levels of deprivation.

    A time when fascism rises across the globe.

    A time when an elected dictator has been uplifted by a gullible populace.

    That we in Barbados could throw up a personality who instead of focusing on the best of the tradition could so descend into a level of ruthlessness too dangerous for a small country but is yet what all her “watch muh” has amounted too.

    Only the fowl slaves are drinking the Mia koolaid by the gallons, no one else is impressed with her self promotion nor her sell out skills, only other people she promotes at Black people’s expense, are tiefing racist corrupt minorities and facilitate them sucking on black people.. the only trajectory for all of them now is DOWN…just don’t be standing below any of them when they come CRASHING or get flattened. Failure will continue to dog them all. The Black population, whose votes they desperately need, cannot afford to trust any of them, they are all in sell out mode, let the dangerous, murderous Guyana situation she helped create for the Black population there, be your guide.. As long as you have the mental capacity to grab the rancid essence of this control freak, you know she is no good for Barbados and never will be.

    “Once the campaign started the meaning became clearer because clearly the election is not about Toni but really about Mottley. Almost every photo shot has been about Mottley.

    Every night the coverage is about Mottley. Every highlight is about Mottley and the BLP social media feature Mottley and now the call is to “gi me, I need her”. What is the need for Toni?

    It is amazing that this “strong woman in her own right” has to rely on a leader to win a seat that the party has controlledfor over 25 years.

    But at the core of this Mottley intrusion is the dependency model of leadership that has become the trademark of this administration.

    The COVID-19 experience has forced many Barbadians to examine the way they have been living and to reorder their priorities. In the tradition of Mottley politics this by-election will be a windfall for the people of the constituency.

    Already the BLP has commenced its program of gifts and handouts. Every road will be patched, bus service improved, pit latrine replaced, house repairs undertaken, school lunches provided.

    Pavilions will be repaired or replaced and the list of goodies will be widened as desperation hits MAM.
    There will be a little focus on Toni Moore because she is but a pawn in a bigger game of Miaism.

    It is the new culture that threatens to reduce Barbados to the interests of one person, Mia Amor Mottley. MAM will parade all across St. George North making accusations, abusing the DLP, trying to reduce Floyd and making promise after promise.

    It is the Mottley style and Toni Moore will be but another victim of a leader with one cause, her own. MAM will never engage the cognitive, her interest is the social need of control. She really believes she alone is important and the rest of us her pawns!”

    OSA must be turning in his grave.

    He had promised never to leave Mugabe in charge of the blp

    But yet, here we are, having to bear what we must as a strong “despotic” strongman takes what she wants.

    Owen enabled her shit, he knew the level of evil she is and should have done something about her, but he too was damn corrupt and up to his neck in selling out Black people, he too had secrets to hide, so he could not go poking at her or she would poke back, that’s why he too could never be trusted…these are not leaders, they are freaks, jailers who live to sell out Black/African people.

    All the wholesale thieving they have done to the elderly and the peopler the decades is coming out, no matter how many colonial false titles they run around trying to acquire, no matter how many advisory boards they try to crawl onto to continue their thievery and corruption….it’s all being exposed for the world to hear and see, the people put them there and the people will remove them.

    For an idea of where Barbados is heading look at what happened to Edutech and Glendairy Prison.

    Trump has the support of his cabinet and the corporate oligarchs as well.

    And you have previously agreed that he is a strongman.

    So why can’t that same logic be applied to the local dictator as well.

    In addition, you have always opined the governace issues in the region.

    The CDB has been relatively free of corruption but yet you support a perceived action to strike a blow at the bank.

    Everything they touch turns to corruption and failure, check out LIAT, check out the islands, everything is reduced to nothing, poverty, more racism, more corruption, more exploitation and oppression…..these are human blights on legs..

    Check this out Pacha..

    the curse of racism and the blighted people of varying “colors” who condone and enable the practice must be eradicated…it’s just as evil as those who allow it.

    “Why Nova Scotia has to take environmental racism seriously
    In February, a Nova Scotia MP introduced legislation aimed at tackling environmental racism. When it comes to environmental racism, it is essential to understand its long history in Nova Scotia.

    The African Canadian communities of Preston, East Preston, North Preston and Cherry Brook in Nova Scotia continue to confront land ownership disputes, environmental racism and green space expropriation challenges, both spatially and culturally. Environmental racism refers to racial discrimination in environmental policy making.

    For the Preston-area communities, marginalization and discrimination are still present. Dartmouth is a predominantly white community; since 1996, it has continued to grow, creating constant pressure for landscape change and community fragmentation.”

    There is no mystery to really.

    Why do we direct the reference to our PMs as primus inter pares?

    With a weak prime minister in Stuart, weak defined as zero political stock/capital and how he was perceived by the public. The challenge from several of his prominent parliamentary colleagues was beaten back back by him.

    Now enter Mottley, a polar opposite. A popular leader of the party, good political stock/capital…

    You are intelligent enough to finish the script.

    from my understanding Freundel was able to blunt whatever challenges he had with his would be rebellious colleagues by reminding them of their slim majority.

    Not so with MAM. she does the opposite and has learnt the politics of collusion from the man who called her a despot

    “they are bought and paid for.”
    with the people’s money, laws should be put in place to prevent that clear misrepresentation of the electorate’s money, misusing it for personal political gain..

    there is no comparison. at least not to me. there may be a comparable end point, result or accommodation, yes.

    but BLP politicians at some point will have to wrestle with their integrity and how they view their decisions in public office. were they voted in so that MAM could satisfy some childhood dream or to use Bim as her play thing, or were they voted in to make Bim livable for its people?

    they will then have to contend with their conscience if they have any over the honesty in appointing people to certain positions. the facade of interview panels that appoint people who have said before the panels were set up they have the job. in short professional and personal integrity.

    we can all agree that not many politicians have that and that would be difficult to find in hand to mouth politicians.

    i wonder what will happen when MAM decides to bring in the 80k people that she wants to grow the population by. what do you think they will say?

    In both scenarios the parliamentary colleagues were/are unable to resolve the issue of a wayward primus inter paris to use your view point.

    Here is the bottomline Greene, the political class continues to attract average talent. Individuals who are willing to compromise on the tenet of the democratic system i.e. to serve with love.

    If this report is true, and there is no reason to doubt it, then it is but the latest confirmation of the personality who unfortunately is prime minister of Barbados.
    I have been warning about this since May 2018 and nothing the prime minister has done has contradicted this assessment. That is why I have called her the president.
    There is no reason to think she is first among equals, or even appreciates the doctrine; she has shown no respect for our parliamentary democracy; and, she ignores the rule of law.
    She is undoubtedly intelligent, but is not a competent leader, she bullies her team; suffers from an attention deficit, having no time for the details of policy making; and prefers to recruit u8nderlings to do her foot work then she rubber-stamps them.
    She has an enormously inflated ego and has no sense of mission. The economy of Barbados is in serious crisis; unemployment is officially about 40 per cent, and if these figures are similar to there unemployment figures in other countries, then the figure for 16-25 yr olds must be near 60 per cent. That is disastrous.
    But this ego-driven maniac wants to play on the global and regional stage: she is joint chairman of a United Nations body; she has appointed herself spokeswoman for SIDS, anything but pay attention to the awful state of Barbados.
    She wasted her years as chairman of CARICOM, a regional body badly in need of serious reforms; she clearly felt that CARICOM was not big enough. She messed up the Barbados share-holding in LIAT because she overplayed her hand, either not taking proper advice, or believing, erroneously, that she has business acumen. The net result that is the 49 per cent share-holding has been wasted.
    We now have a by-election, which is important, especially to the people of St George North, but her ego is such that the thought of losing a by-election, which will not impact her vast majority, is too much to leave to her colleagues to run. She has turned it in to a referendum on her leadership style.
    Mottley is an autocrat, a bully, an egotist; she has no interest whatsoever in the future of Barbados, as long as her friends and the specialist groups are satisfied.
    I said two years ago that Barbados was a failed state. It is. I also said it would end in tears. It will. When Mottley is finished there will be no Barbados worth talking about.

Who in their right mind want to see them again in under 15 years.Where is the other alternative the mock 3rd parties.If bajans who live here want a change they will vote to suit.Therefore all you overseas doom and gloomers could really take a flying leap as many do not care about your opinions in my opinion.

    CXC amends ‘ungraded’ CSEC, CAPE results for 11 schools

    The Ministry of Education (MoE) yesterday announced that following complaints by the schools that students did not receive a grade for the 2020 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has amended the results for 11 schools.

    The changed results reflect grades from I to V for the specific subject for each student whose grade has been revisited as requested by the MoE.

    Minister of Education Priya Manickchand had engaged CXC to review the “ungraded” and unsatisfactory results and the Council agreed. It has since reviewed the submissions made by MoE for both examinations. Twenty (20) schools had received ungraded results in 15 CSEC and CAPE subject areas. The CSEC subjects that were affected are: English A, Mathematics, Principles of Business, Office Administration, Human & Social Biology, Theatre Arts, Physical Education & Sports, and Economics. The CAPE subjects that were affected are: Geography Unit 1, Caribbean Studies, Agricultural Science, Environmental Science, Accounting Unit 1 & 2, Law Unit 1, and Pure Mathematics Unit 1 & 2.

    Following this review, 11 of the 20 schools where students received the “ungraded” results have since received results with grades. These schools are: Port Kaituma Secondary, Patentia Secondary, Annandale Secondary, New Amsterdam Secondary, Paramakatoi Secondary, Harmony Secondary, Carmel Secondary, Central High School, The Bishops’ High School, Leguan Secondary School and Mahaicony Secondary School.

    According to a press release issued by the ministry yesterday, CXC has committed to providing an update on the outstanding nine schools as soon as possible. When contacted for a comment, Manickchand told Stabroek News that the ministry would not requesting that each student’s grade is revisited and that it only looked into the schools which had subjects listed as “ungraded” for most students. “Every year you have students who are unhappy with their results. This year will be no different. So we looked at where there were large numbers of persons with “ungraded” as their result,” Manickchand said.

    Regarding the unsatisfactory results for both CSEC and CAPE, the students will have to contact CXC and pay to have their grades reviewed. Manickchand disclosed that the council has indicated that individual students have approached CXC to review grades in a number of subject areas at both the CSEC and CAPE level and that the MoE hopes that these requests by students would be addressed speedily.

    Twenty four (24) schools have expressed dissatisfaction with the grades awarded for the CSEC examination in twenty (20) subject areas, while six schools have submitted requests for a review of unsatisfactory results in seven CAPE subject areas.

    Manickchand also said that a number of factors contributed to candidates’ results being recorded as ungraded and further explained that CXC reported to the Ministry that some School Based Assessments (SBAs) for students were not submitted by teachers to the examination body on time. This would have caused the students grades to drop. The Ministry has “immediately begun to revert to pre-existing systems” to prevent a reoccurrence, the MoE’s statement said. Manickchand further assured that very tight monitoring of submission of SBAs will be done to ensure that this does not reoccur.

    On September 22, the CSEC and CAPE results were released to candidates across the Caribbean. These grades were met with much dissatisfaction due the apparent poor grading of students. Education Ministries from Caribbean countries raised concerns over this but CXC insisted that the results reflected the students’ performance at the 2020 exam. Just two days after the results were released, Manickchand raised concern over what seems to be discrepancies with the grades that were awarded to students across the country in particular subject areas.

    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the CXC examinations were held in July/August period rather than its usual May/June, and the council changed its examination strategy as it claimed to have recognised the impact the virus had on the education system and its regional examination. The council had assured that the new exam structure would provide students with valid grades that are comparable to previous years. While the decision was met with uncertainty by students, teachers and parents, the council went ahead with the administration of the exams. It made the policy decision to offer a modified examination process where at least one common paper (Multiple Choice Assessments), School Based Assessments (SBAs) and Paper 032s (alternative to SBA) for private candidates will be used instead of the format used in previous years, which included a Paper II. Hence, the final grades would be awarded based on the moderated SBAs and Multiple Choice Papers.

    It’s so easy to used Covid-19 for ones inefficiency/Gross Neglects..
