Hints of possible split as Barbados government minister vows to speak out

Thursday, January 30, 2014

Estwick stated that his family resides in Barbados and due to his love of country, he said it “would be a dereliction of my duty as a Barbadian not to outline to Barbados my perspectives as a minister and as a citizen of this country.” He also told reporters, “ I… can no longer sit silent while the Barbados economy is having its present macroeconomic challenges, whether or not our present path is the right one or the wrong one and what is the path I think should be pursued.”

He would also go on to say that he could also not sit by “when this debate is raging on and when the outcome of any action may seriously undermine the stability of this country… This is not the time to be pig headed or this is not the time to close off all options. This is the time for innovation, this is the time for creativity and this is the time that every single option must be evaluated clinically and surgically in the interest of Barbados.”
