DON’T BUY WHAT THE “SNAKE OIL SALESMEN” of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) are selling for the next general election, warns Prime Minister Freundel Stuart.
A confident Stuart rallied a standing-room-only audience last night in the Parkinson Memorial Secondary School’s hall, The Pine, St Michael, telling them the doomsday preaching of the Opposition over the last four years should be measured against the consistent efforts of his administration to keep Barbados stable during the worst global economic downturn in more than 100 years.
He pointed to the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) commitment to keep public servants employed, maintain all health, education and other social services and work with the Social Partnership, while also ensuring that the island’s vital foreign reserves were kept at a healthy level.
Moreover, the Prime Minister stressed that the work of his party during the last four years represented a continuum of its efforts since the 1960s to put the progress of Barbadians at the centre of its policies.
