EDITORIAL: Paving way forward

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Elections are over, the Cabinet has been sworn into office, as have been the senators recommended by the Prime Minister, and Parliament sits for the first time during the course of this week. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and his colleagues are to be congratulated on having pulled off a nail-biting win, and should now expect to receive the goodwill of all Barbadians, tempered by such constructive criticism in keeping with the traditional decencies associated with our adversarial system of politics. In one of his first official statements, just after the swearing of his Cabinet at Government House on Friday last, Mr Stuart declared that the “restructuring of the economy around the use of renewable energy and the more efficient use of our energy resources was a front burner issue in the Prime Minister’s Office”.
