UNC files pre-action letter against PM over election postponement

THE Opposition United National Congress (UNC) has sent a pre-action protocol letter to Government seeking to reverse the decision to extend the life of local government.

Government has been given until November 14 to make the necessary changes. If not, an application for judicial review will be filed in the High Court.

Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar confirmed at the UNC’s Monday night Virtual Report that the letter had been sent, in the name of blogger and activist Ravi Balgobin-Maharaj.

She said the first proposed defendants are the Prime Minister, Attorney General Reginald Armour and Minister of Rural Development and Local Government Faris Al-Rawi.

In the letter, issued through the law chambers of former AG Anand Ramlogan on Monday, Balgobin-Maharaj said he was looking forward to the local government elections, which were constitutionally due between December 2022 and March 2023.

He said he has been personally aggrieved by the decision denying him the right to exercise his civic duty to vote for a new representative in the hope that better representation could be provided for the people in his electoral district of Maracas/Santa Magarita.

Last week Al-Rawi announced the decision to extend the life of local government by a year, which will in effect cause the postponement of the elections of councillors.

Asserting that the postponement for a year is illegal, Persad-Bissessar said the UNC will not let this rest.

“We have caused our lawyers to send out a pre-action protocol letter against the Prime Minister, Dr Keith Rowley, against the disgraced, now sitting AG and former disgraced AG, Faris, in his capacity as Local Government Minister,” she said on the UNC platform.

“Our pre-action letter has gone out today (Monday) by electronic mail to these three persons, proposes an application of leave to apply for judicial review between Ravi Balgobin-Maharaj versus the Cabinet of the Republic of TT and (the) Minister of Rural Development and Local Government.”

Accusing the Government of eroding the country’s democracy, Persad-Bissessar said, “It is clear that the intention they had when they made the declaration, was to postpone the elections, but it was reported as ‘councillors have been given one more year.’

“So, they expected the councillors to clap and say, ‘We get a next year, no election,’ when the true extent is the devious manner in which it was done, to say councillors getting one more year.

“Why? Because we have to deal with this reform?

“What utter madness and totally unlawful action on behalf of the Government. So elections are due now – one year later. That is what is the point.

“It is not whether they get one more year, or five and ten or 20 years – It is that they have postponed, illegally, the local government election.”

She said the decision had to do with Government’s fear of losing the elections.

“They are scared,” she said, promising the UNC would win the San Fernando City Corporation and Sangre Grande seats whenever elections are called.

The Prime Minister is quoted in the Express as defending the decision, saying the UNC cannot now claim ignorance, as it was part of the local government reform legislation.

He said this was the subject of discussions at the meeting of a parliamentary joint select committee and was debated in the House and Senate and passed.

Rihanna makes no promises on new album Loop Barbados

Rihanna fans have been waiting six years for a new album – since the iconic ‘ANTI’ – and their wish might be answered finally.

The Navy has been on the edge of their seats after news that RiRi will be heading the Super Bowl half-time show and the recent release of Lift Me Up for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

In a recent interview with Associated Press ahead of Savage X Fenty Show Vol 4, the Barbadian music and fashion mogul shut down speculation that her Super Bowl performance meant an album was imminent.

“That’s not true. Super Bowl is one thing. New music is another thing. Do you hear that, fans?” she said, laughing.

“The second that I announced this, I said, ‘Oh, my God, they’re going to think my album is coming. I need to get to work,’” she recalled.

In addition to adjusting to motherhood, the Fenty mogul said she has been busy outdoing last year’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol 3, which earned an Emmy and included a long list of high-profile stars.

“It’s always challenging to beat the one before,” she said. “Next year is going to actually be the main challenge because this year was such a huge scale of a show and I don’t know how we’re going to beat it, but we’re going to have to try.”

The Savage X Fenty Show Vol 4 will be available to stream Wednesday, November 9 on Amazon Prime Video.

The Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources advises the travelling public that the rock bluff at Jordan’s, St George is being cut and as a result, the road has been reduced to one lane.

Motorists are urged to slow down, approach the corner with caution, and obey persons directing traffic as there may be some delays along that road. The work, which commenced Monday, November 7, is estimated to last approximately two weeks. When completed, the corner will be widened and there should be improved visibility for motorists.

The Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources apologises for the inconvenience and thanks the public for its patience.

Sagicor sponsors first-ever Barbados Deaf Calypso Project Loop Barbados

Sagicor continues to show its support for the deaf community in Barbados, with its sponsorship of The Barbados Deaf Calypso Project 2022.

The leading insurance and financial solutions provider made a financial contribution to the Barbados Council for the Disabled to assist with the execution of the project, which was developed with the aim of creating awareness, access and opportunities for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Featuring international and local performers, the project includes a series of events, beginning with “An Evening with WaWa”, an inspirational session on empowerment conducted by American Deaf Rapper, Warren “WaWa” Snipes; followed by an AudioVisibility Workshop; a musical workshop conducted by deaf musician and music educator from the United Kingdom, Ruth Montgomery, the creative mind behind the Calypso Project.

The project comes to a climax with the Calypso Sunset Concert & Art Exhibition on Wednesday, November 9 at the Frank Collymore Hall, a first of its kind stage show and photography exhibition featuring local and international deaf musicians and performers, sharing the stage with hearing musicians.

Paul Inniss, executive vice president and general manager with Sagicor Life Inc, said the decision to support the project was an easy one, especially given the company’s focus on providing support to disadvantaged groups on the island.

“Recently we would’ve announced our support of the Deaf Heart Project, which was selected as the beneficiary of our Helping Hands Programme, a corporate social responsibility initiative focused on assisting non-governmental organisations”, he said. “Both projects are working towards increasing awareness, access and opportunities for the deaf community, an effort that we are certainly in favour of and happy to support.”
