“There is no surer mechanism for guaranteeing transparency than a Freedom of Information Act and the various regulations that make it work. It is long overdue in Anguilla. Here, it is nearly impossible to obtain any information on the programmes or activities of any department of Anguilla. Most government activity in Anguilla is a state secret.
It is long overdue that we bring that abortion of a system of government to an end.”
Don Mitchell writing at Corruption-free Anguilla
A shame that our corrupt Barbados politicians have never, and will never, pass Freedom of Information and Integrity Legislation. We recently heard that former BLP secretary and current MP Dr. William Duguid said quite unambiguously that Barbados politicians will never pass such legislation because it is not in their interest.
Quite right, Dr. Duguid. You should know.


I heard Sinckler say recently that the integrity legislation document should be completed and ready to go before the house either in this calendar year or fiscal year. So let’s see if it does happen by March 31, 2011 the latest. If they fail to do it, I am one bajan who will be definitely voting BLP come next election (Mia as leader or not).
Atman:
Did you believe Mia’s much publicised Statement of Assets were a true picture?
What if they were proved to be not so, would it alter your voting intentions?
