RECENTLY RETIRED deputy governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, Harold Codrington, fired a serious parting shot when he left his long-time employer two weeks ago.

He indicated that all is not well at Barbados’ most important financial entity.

In an email disseminated to staff, Codrington made it clear he was not at all happy with the way certain things were being done.

The email was no surprise, especially after he reportedly turned down a special retirement function that was to be held on his final day on the job.

“It would be remiss of me if I did not say that I think that we have lost our way somewhat in recent times,” Codrington wrote to his colleagues in his final act as deputy governor.
