Opposition Spokesman on Industry and Commerce Senator Mark Golding is demanding the resignation of Finance Minister Audley Shaw.
Mr. Golding cited what he called the Government's failure to achieve numerous fiscal targets, a failed budget, and Mr. Shaw's absence from the current International Monetary Fund (IMF) talks as examples of the Government's failures over the last two years.
According to him, Mr. Shaw is an abject failure and must go immediately.
"It's an appropriate sign for the Government to put in place somebody in finance who can chart a course for the country through these perilous waters and who will be able to do the work that the Fiannce Minister has t do. I don't believe that Mr. Shaw is in a position to do that," he said.
Not delivering
The shadow spokesman was also concerned about accusations that the Opposition was being reckless in its remarks on the economy.
"I think the IMF must be wondering why he's not present so I don't think it's a question of it being responsible or irresponsible really arises. It's my own view that Mr. Shaw is not delivering what the country needs from a Finance Minister at this time," said Senator Golding.
