Opposition chided on boycott
Jan 16, 2013
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - AS NINE EMPTY benches faced Government yesterday in the House of Assembly during presentation of a $15.7 million supplementary resolution to subsidize diesel, the Opposition boycott came in for a tongue-lashing from a senior minister.
Minister of Small Business Denis Kellman noted that yesterday was Government’s fifth “birthday” – the anniversary of the January 13, 2008 election victory – and it should be celebrated instead of being seen as a time to “cock up and die”.
Noting that the Leader of the Opposition Owen Arthur had not announced the boycott himself but had instead given that job to someone who smiled and joked about everything, Kellman said the trick had not worked and war had now been declared.
