With an eye to the economy and Government’s renewable energy platform, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is eagerly looking forward to his new term starting on Wednesday with the opening of Parliament and reading of the Throne Speech by Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave.
Speaking to the media after last Friday’s swearing in of Cabinet at Government House, Stuart said the Government was excited about its programme for the next five years and the prospects for Barbados.
“We came out of a very challenging campaign but we were able to confound all of the dismal prophecies and all of the dark predictions about our prospects,” he said.
Reminding Barbadians that the need to continue the restructuring of the economy was a key issue throughout the campaign, he said the economy would be a top priority and that Barbados could not sit back and wait until things improved in the Eurozone and the rest of the western world. (RJ)
