?A NEW FACE will soon be seen in an impressive building in a very important position.
The person is expected to be a female, even though a certain man’s name was constantly being suggested as the chosen one.
Her elevation will come when another woman retires.
The job she will be getting is considered the crème de la crème of local jobs, with a high salary, and expensive vehicle and security to boot.
From what Cou Cou has been reliably told, this woman’s elevation should be judged on her disciplined approach to matters, which complements her knowledge and competence.
Those chattering about this pending appointment some weeks away are suggesting that though this woman should be a good fit for it, how her appointment is handled would be key to silencing naysayers.
And justice for all
AS JUSTICE MUST not only be done, but seen to be done, people are watching the developments in a certain matter to make sure everything is done transparently.
Their concern is the blood and professional links between two parties who, for this particular matter, find themselves on opposite sides.
Those familiar with such things have suggested that one of them should remove themselves from dealing with the sensitive matter. That way, if perchance things do not go according to how those affected people feel they should, neither of them would be able to cry low blow.
Whatever the decision made, for sure all eyes will be on this matter to ensure that when the evidence related to it is traced it would be seen that those involved handled it professionally.
Politics and pastors?
IF CERTAIN PEOPLE are to be believed, it seems the political divide that permeates just about every facet of life in Barbados has overtaken the churches too.
And they contend the fuss about paying $300 000 for the two-day crusade at which Benny Hinn is scheduled to speak is an example of this.
Saying that the negative talk is really meant to derail the event, these people argue that the negatives are flowing because some of those upfront in the newly formed National Alliance of Churches and Christian Organisations (NACCO) have been associated with the opposition Barbados Labour Party in some way.
They say this is consistent with the general attitude of governance in Barbados these days. That is, as long as you don’t declare your love for the ruling party and its people, then you’re the enemy and would not be allowed to prevail.
Besides that, these informed individuals claim that if a cost comparison was made to bringing in Benny Hill with other crusades that featured internationally known speakers, then it would be realised that the $300 000 bill was reasonable.
What these individuals would like is for the other church figures who brought in international speakers to truthfully say – for the sake of balance – how much it cost them to stage such crusades, instead of letting the uninformed talk to continue.
