LEADER?OF?THE?OPPOSITION Owen?Arthur says Barbados is crying out for leadership and “can’t afford Chris Sinckler’s apprenticeship anymore”.
The former Prime Minister told scores of Barbados Labour Party supporters at George Lamming Primary School on Sunday that Sinckler had failed as Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs.
“Sinckler has had his amateur hour. He has had his hour of trifling and?dipsy-doodling and instituting one measure to replace another immediately,” Arthur said.
“The people of Barbados cannot afford Chris Sinckler’s apprenticeship anymore. The mayhem is too great. Barbados can do better.”
Arthur predicted that Sinckler would have to return to Parliament soon with a budget, as the measures he had implemented had not done the job.
The political leader of the BLP disclosed that the party had started the process of preparing an election manifesto which he said would offer hope and realism to the people. (MK)
