#4 ELECTION IN THE AIR: MOTTLEY DOUBLES DOWN ON $225M BILL-DONVILLE INNISS PUSHES BACK!

On tonight's show:
DIRECT REBUTTAL TO THE PRIME MINISTER on the Economic Diversification & Growth Fund Bill 2025

PM CLAIM:
“Every cent will be accounted for.”

REBUTTAL:
If accountability exists, WHERE ARE THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR:
• $80 MILLION moved offshore from the NIS with NO public follow-up
• $300+ MILLION given to hoteliers under the BEST Programme
• Millions disbursed under the Trust Loan Programme
• $2 MILLION given to farmers via BAS
• Tens of MILLIONS injected into the Sugar Industry (2024–2025)

PM CLAIM:
“Strong governance and transparency.”

REBUTTAL:
• Bill allows Ministerial discretion over OUR MONEY
• No requirement to publish recipients
• No definition of “qualifying company”
• No repayment terms stated
• No fit-and-proper test for directors

PM CLAIM:
“This protects jobs.”

REBUTTAL:
• Fund targets foreign companies, not small Bajan businesses
• Minimum 100 jobs threshold excludes most locals
• Same government offers workers 21 CENTS PER HOUR wage increase
Bajans get crumbs. Corporations get millions.

PM CLAIM:
“This is the only option.”

REBUTTAL:
Barbados has multiple existing funds for development yet NONE show clear public accounting. If old funds weren’t transparent, why should we trust a NEW ONE?

GUEST/PANELIST: DONVILLE INNISS & ALWYN BABB
