Mottley: Wrong to blame BWA chair

OPPOSITION LEADER Mia Motley has accused Government of using chairman of the Barbados Water Authority, Atlee Brathwaite, as a scapegoat as they shift blame for the water woes the country is currently experiencing.

“And it is not good enough to point fingers because this Government’s response to everything now is blame or scapegoating and abuse.  They do not only blame the BLP because they want now to blame their own . . . ,” she said.

“You heard Trevor Prescod speak about what they want to do to Atlee Brathwaite but Brathwaite, whenever done, is not the Minister of Finance,” Mottley said at Arthur Smith Primary School.

She was speaking at the nomination for Dr William Duguid to contest the Christ Church West seat in the next election, and said it was the leadership of the country who had to be held accountable for its state of affairs.
