UP TO ALL

THE OPPOSITION’S BID to oust Speaker of the House of Assembly Michael Carrington has failed and it’s now up to Barbadians to make their feelings known.

Opposition Leader Mia Mottley made this declaration at a hastily called Press conference at the Office of the Opposition in Parliament Buildings yesterday.

Since January, the Barbados Labour Party has staged a walkout of Parliament whenever Speaker Carrington took the Chair.

Their actions stemmed from revelations that the High Court had ordered the payment of almost a quarter-million dollars by Carrington, who is a Queen’s Counsel, to former client John Griffiths.

That money, received and withheld two years ago, was from the sale of property and from assorted bank accounts. (HLE)
