Rawle Eastmond MP
I had no intention of voicing my opinion on the ongoing saga between the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) incumbent in St. James North and the branch of that constituency. First let me say I do not see why this internal matter has been placed in the public domain at this time. Secondly, I can’t understand why Mr Rawle Eastmond would seek a meeting with Mr. Owen Arthur, Opposition Leader and Political Leader of the BLP on a matter that is clearly set out in the constitution of the party. Thirdly, it boggles my mind why Miss Mia Mottley would seek a private meeting with Mr Arthur as stated in the Nation newspaper, page 30, January 2012 to discuss the Rawle Eastmond issue via text to Mr Arthur. This is after being informed one week earlier that nether he [Arthur] or she [Mottley] can do any thing at this time or at no time on this issue because the party process must be allow to work . What is so hard in that to understand?
Miss Mottley spoke of her attempt to heal the party but she seeks a meeting with the Political Leader via text message and the newspaper to discuss matters in private. What rubbish! I find this to be intolerable and an insult to the post of the Opposition Leader’s Office, when she knows very well that this matter or any other matters could be raised in the right forum if requested. Who is she trying to convince? Is it herself? What is the real agenda? Is it to make it seem that there are problems in the party when there’s none especially at this time and in a pre election period? Taking this non issue and using it to her advantage!
