Attorney General Dale Marshall has called on Barbadians to adopt a “zero tolerance” for guns and anyone dealing with these illegal firearms.
Mr. Marshall urged citizens to take this tough stance as he addressed a press conference on Friday, where he said the four shooting deaths the island recorded in three days took the number of homicides for the year to 28.
Speaking directly to the public, the Attorney General said: “If your son or daughter, your boyfriend or girlfriend is involved in that way of life, bringing guns in the house, hiding them under the mattress, tell them not with you…. If you, your partner, your mother, your father, your brother, your sister, whoever it is, is involved in that way of life, zero tolerance means that we have a vested interest in telling them to … get out of that way of life….
“I understand this is a difficult conversation; it will be hard for some because some of the members of the public may rely on these individuals for support. They may say, well I can’t do this to my child’s father…. But the fact is that if you don’t, you have to accept that you may well become a casualty because you support that particular way of life.”

Mr. Marshall expressed the view that a whole of country approach must be adopted to deal with the crime situation, as was done earlier to successfully fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, he stated that every Barbadian has a role to play in this fight.
“The statistics in relation to the other crimes are down. So, if we’ve been able to quell the other kinds of criminal activity using particular interventions and methods, there’s no reason why we should not be able to succeed in firearm crimes by using the same approach….
“It will require steady, diligent work on the part of the Police Service, on the part of the Government and equally important, on the part of the people of Barbados,” he stressed.
Stating that the recent homicides were not random shootings, the Attorney General said this spate of instability was being caused by two or three groups that were engaging in feuding and recriminations.
“These criminals know and plot for the people who they are targeting, and invariably it is the associates or members of the rival groups,” he disclosed.
He gave the assurance that the island remains a safe place, with citizens being safe in their homes and communities.
He said the country had not descended into any state of anarchy. However, he acknowledged that the current spike could have a severe effect on the country and the way of life of its people.
Stressing that “this gun play must stop”, he asserted that “we have it within our power to stop it”.
He noted that law and order was a priority for Government, and this was evident by the fact that every time the Barbados Police Service asked for resources or equipment, the administration had tried to put them in place.
“At a policy level, we are continuing our efforts to ensure that the Service has every resource that it requires in this fight…. I want to make sure that the Barbados Police Service is the best-equipped police service in the region. We have fine police officers and we must make sure that they have our support, in terms of the best things to work with; so we are working on that,” he stressed.
Mr. Marshall disclosed that a one-day meeting was held last week with the police, Director of Public Prosecution and others to, among other things, further agree to adopt a series of measures to ensure that case files relating to murders and firearms moved through the system swiftly. “I’m looking forward to seeing those operational initiatives being implemented; the priority of our criminal system has to be murder cases and firearms,” he said.
The Attorney General encouraged Barbadians to come forward and share any information they have on crime.
He added that if they were hesitant they should call Crime Stoppers, as tips which came through that avenue had been pivotal in solving crimes.
He said the easy access to firearms in the USA had created a huge problem for the Caribbean, as those guns had made their way onto our streets.
He noted that Caribbean countries were experiencing similar problems with an influx and use of firearms.

Jamaica Tallawahs continued their unbeaten start to the men’s edition of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with a four-wicket victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors at Warner Park in St Kitts on Saturday.
Electing to field after winning the toss, the Tallawahs, led by Mohammad Amir, restricted the Warriors to 142 for six off their allotted 20 overs with captain Shimron Hetmyer leading the run-scoring with 39.

Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, the Tallawahs managed to chase down the target, reaching 143 for six, with four balls to spare, thanks to some big-hitting from captain Rovman Powell (44 from 38) and Chris Green (17 from 7) lower down the order.
The Warriors lost both of their openers, Paul Stirling (1) and Chandrapaul Hemraj (2) to Amir in the PowerPlay before Shai Hope (25 from 30) and Hetmyer patiently began to rebuild the innings.
Australian spinner Green bowled four overs and conceded a paltry five runs as the Tallawahs frustrated the Warrior batters with some disciplined bowling.
Romario Shepherd accelerated the Warriors’ innings with some big hitting. He hammered 36 from 17 balls, including six boundaries.
The Tallawahs got off to a brisk start in their chase, but the Warriors utilised the spin trio of Gudakesh Motie, Imran Tahir, and Tabraiz Shamsi to restrict runs and put pressure on the batters.
Tahir claimed the key wicket of Brandon King in the seventh over for 32. However, the Tallawahs would eventually manage to chase their total as Powell and Green combined to score 23 runs from the 18th over before reaching the target in the final over.

File photo: Newly minted registered nurses (from left) Glenderlin Remey, Afeisha Harroo, Tiffany Dyer, Angelique Nathan and LaToya Joseph as they reported for duty at the North West Regional Health Authority on Dundonald Street Port of Spain.
HEALTH workers such as nurses will be paid $200 million, on top of their usual salaries/wages, in recognition of their help to the country during the two years of the covid19 pandemic.
This good news was given by Finance Minister Colm Imbert on Friday in reply to a reporter’s question at the Spotlight on the Economy conference hosted by his ministry at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port of Spain.
“Yes, we have identified the cost. I was in touch with the Minister of Health (Terrence Deyalsingh) just a few days ago.
“It’s going to cost us $200 million, and we will find the money for that.”
President of the Trinidad and Tobago Registered Nurses Association (TTRNA) Idi Stuart welcomed the news, which he said fulfilled the Prime Minister’s promise to healthcare staff.
He told Newsday, “The association is indeed pleased at the honourable PM fulfilling his commitment given to the association since 2020.
“We are extremely pleased, given the tough economic times we are in, that the PM recognised the work of the healthcare sector as deserving. Things are progressing well.”
However Stuart reminded that may other outstanding payments were owed to healthcare workers, including increments and gratuities.
He also wanted the Government to consider permanent employment for 3,400 nurses now on contract. He said the country’s total nursing population was about 7,000, comprising registered nurses (RNs), nursing assistants, also known as auxiliaries, and patient care assistants (PCAs.)
While he did not know how the $200 million would be distributed, he envisaged allocations for frontline clinical staff (such as nurses and PCAs) at risk from contact with infected patients, rather than administrative staff, many of whom worked from home. Stuart was concerned that some workers hired in the health sector for the main two-year duration of the pandemic had since been sent home, even as several billion-dollar health facilities were now seemingly understaffed, suggesting the Government was implying it did not have enough money to pay these staff.
