Shaw challenges Davies to debate

[Lazie]

Finance Minister Audley Shaw has challenged Opposition Counterpart Dr. Omar Davies to a debate on fiscal management. Mr. Shaw told Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) supporters in Woodford Park, South East St. Andrew Tuesday night that Dr. Davies is a "man who have plenty chat" but promised that he would soon "clip him wing".

"You know what I did with him in the debate coming up to the general elections, and since him going on like him bad again, look like him want to tek on Man a Yard for another debate," Mr. Shaw said.

"Well, tell him to come if him want to debate in the public square anytime between now and next week Monday or Tuesday. I, Audley Shaw, otherwise known as Man a Yard, will tek him on and I will tek him out again," he added.

Clash

Mr. Shaw and Dr. Davies had clashed in a pre-general election debate and many political watchers had given Mr. Shaw victory. If this debate takes place, Mr. Shaw expects no different.

Mr. Shaw is seemingly angered by comments directed at him by Dr. Davies, the former Minister of Finance, who last week referred to his successor as an "empty shell".

However, that was not the only concern the new Finance Minister had with his predecessor. He said Dr. Davies committed "an act of deception" by keeping approximately $15.4 billion in expenditure off the budget to give a false picture of the state of the Jamaican economy. There monies, Mr. Shaw said are "inescapable non -discretionary expenditure that needed to be taken on board."

Well, can you really blame Omar? When people call him the best finance minister we ever had, when Peejay claim "the P.N.P was on a clear economic path, although hampered by Crime, internal moles, and a few dregs in their midsts," when Mosiah can claim him is yet to see Omar lose a challenge or debate or something to that effect, yuh nuh thing him believe the hype?

hehehe .... when last a Supplimentary Estimate was tabled in November?

I have no idea, the point is the people elected him to take care of the financial matters of the country and so he must now just do his job and shut the f up.

Mr Davies was elected to represent a certain geographic area and that's what he needs to.

Talking, cussing out each other and trying to score political points happened 3 months ago now let's just do the work the people want.

Well, if you pay attention to people like Mosiah you'd get the impression Shaw not doing anything, except studing for his CAPE. Omar tabled his supplimentary estimates February of this year and as far as I know, its always been late. How come a man that many consider an idiot was able to do it in November?

I recall in September, many analysts were knocking him for not going to the market to raise funds for next years budget ... Ralston Hyman was knocking him on Real Business 9:00 a.m. in the morning and by the midday news it was reported on NNN that the money was raised.

Omar dem tekking shots at him, if him continue turning the other cheek you same one gonna claim him saaf!

[Assasin]

and in the same breath after two years we will know who is the better minister as no mouth talk can't help that, statistics will tell.
