‘Trinkets’ seen as hush money

WHEN THE HISTORY of Barbados is written, the eight years of the present Freundel Stuart administration will be referred to as the “lost years”, says Opposition Leader Mia Mottley.

In a stinging reply to the 2016/2017 Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposals presented by Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler on Tuesday, the Barbados Labour Party leader yesterday rubbished Sinckler’s presentation.

She queried where the “real” budget was as the “little trinkets” given to the various sectors were not to stabilise them, but rather were a form of “political hush money”.

Speaking to the Budget, Mottley charged she had never before seen a more uncaring, out-of-touch and off-course administration. (SDB Media)
