LEADER OF THE Opposition Mia Mottley said last night that Prime Minister Freundel Stuart had failed to reassure thousands of anxious Barbadians on the eve of pending job losses.
Rather than dismissing the Opposition Barbados Labour Party’s (BLP) proposals to address the country’s grave economic problems, Stuart during a public lecture on Saturday should have addressed the “growing fears” of Barbadians, Mottley said.
“If all Prime Minister Freundel Stuart can talk about five days before the end of month, when his Government intends to send home thousands of public servants, is to dismiss the idea of an eminent persons group I put on the table, Barbados is in serious trouble,” Mottley remarked.
She was addressing a BLP People’s Assembly at St Philip Primary School.
