Financial Turmoil : Latibeaudiere walks amid IMF talks

[Lazie]

Even Mark Golding, former banker and PNP came out swinging against him last week or two.

Most manufacturers and people who get loan don't like his high interest policy and when he jack up the interest rate by eight points in no time it upset a lot of people. Word is that the bankers felt he didn't listen to them.

PPL will continue to spin things to fit their agenda. Take Ralston Hyman for instance. Last year when the interest rate went up, Hyman, Dr. Davies, Ann Shirley all knocked the gov't for the high interest rate. When Shaw went public asking for the rates to be reduced, Hyman attacked Shaw claiming he wants the rates to be artificially reduced, he even had the Gov on Real Business and they all mocked the JMA president when he was vocal about the high interest rates. I can bet any money that tomorrow on Real Business Hyman and Thwaites will give the impression Derrick is the best thing since slice bread.

Of course there are those here that will quickly just to certain conclusions without getting the facts.

Bruce Golding and his admin will have to hold ultimate responsiblity for the control or rise in crime in another year or two.

So, who holds that responsibility now, Sass? Think before you answer! And then think some more!

[Assasin]

where did I imply that?

Don1 said nobody had beef with the gov. and that is simply not true.

[Assasin]

Again what you want the PM to resign or call snap election?

[Mosiah]

No, I don't want the PM to resign.

To go back to my question: who presently has responsiblity for the control or rise in crime?

I appreciate your well-thought out response.

[Assasin]

The Prime Minister is ultimately responsible and he will be held accountable.

[Mosiah]

thanks! so i guess you have withdrawn that other remark. good!

[Assasin]

what other remarks? this was my first line to your question. "the buck stop with Golding" I guess you missed it.

If the PM feel the commish is not performing it is his right to ask him to resign. In all my post I said the PM is responsible.

[Don1]

where did I imply that?

Don1 said nobody had beef with the gov. and that is simply not true.

Didn't say that. Said that I saw no public campaign to have him removed...big difference.

People will always have differences of opinion with Central Bank policies...advocating removal is a much bigger step.

If/when the next guy eases monetary policy or more aggressively lowers interest rates...the business class will be happy...until inflation soars and the dollars soars as well...past 100-1.

No easy way out of the mess...except thru cooperation of all sectors.

[Don1]

you need fi read again.

read what pray tell?

[Don1]

So, who holds that responsibility now, Sass? Think before you answer! And then think some more!

Dudus and his type apparantly hold that responsibility now...let's wait another year or 2 as Assasin suggests for Golding to assume responsibility.

[Assasin]

Maybe you didn't know that a director of the bank quit in protest against him last week. The JMA was and others wanted him out. it was no secret.

cooperation? Well too many felt they could talk to him.

[Don1]

what other remarks? this was my first line to your question. "the buck stop with Golding" I guess you missed it.

If the PM feel the commish is not performing it is his right to ask him to resign. In all my post I said the PM is responsible.

Mo may be referring to this gem of yours:

Bruce Golding and his admin will have to hold ultimate responsiblity for the control or rise in crime in another year or two.



If what the statement appears to convey does not reflect your belief...modify or withdraw the comment.

[Mosiah]

This other remark, Sass:

Bruce Golding and his admin will have to hold ultimate responsiblity for the control or rise in crime in another year or two.

Those are your words. Are you withdrawing them right now? Or in another year or two?

[Assasin]

No what I mean't is they go to the poll then and it will help people to decide to vote for or against them.
