    Sports Wednesday, June 5, 2019 15 News in brief Roy, Archer & Ahmed fined for breaching ICC code LONDON: Jason Roy and Jofra Archer have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees for incidents during England’s World Cup defeat by Pakistan at Trent Bridge. The International Cricket Council found opener Roy had breached level one of its code of conduct, using an audible obscenity after a misfield during Pakistan’s innings. Fast bowler Archer was found guilty of dissent towards an umpire’s decision following a wide delivery. Both players have also had one demerit point added to their records. Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was fined 20 percent of his fee, and his teammates 10 percent, for a minor over-rate offence. Pakistan won Monday’s match by 14 runs after setting England a target of 349. It was an occasionally fractious encounter, with the umpires warning England skipper Eoin Morgan about his side throwing the ball in on the bounce and later issuing the same reminder to Sarfaraz. The tactic is often used to scuff up the ball and promote reverse swing. England batsman Jos Buttler appeared to take a look at the ball on his walk back to the pavilion after his knock of 103 came to an end.

  • Barbados 2018 Human Rights Report
    BARBADOS 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Barbados is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. In the May national elections, voters elected Prime Minister Mia Mottley of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP). Observers considered the vote generally free and fair. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Human rights issues included reports of torture by some police officers to obtain confessions, and consensual same-sex activity between men, although this was not enforced during the year. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. b. Disappearance There were no reports of disappearances by or on behalf of government authorities. c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment The constitution prohibits such practices, but there continued to be complaints against the police alleging assault, intimidation, and other unprofessional conduct. According to human rights activists, suspects occasionally accused police of beating them to obtain confessions, and suspects often recanted their confessions during trial. Suspects and their family members continued to allege coercion by police, but there was no evidence of systematic police abuse. Prison and Detention Center Conditions There were no significant reports regarding prison or detention center conditions that raised human rights concerns. BARBADOS 2 Administration: Two agencies--the Office of the Ombudsman and the Prison Advisory Board--are responsible for investigating credible allegations of mistreatment. The Prison Advisory Board conducted monthly visits. Independent Monitoring: Authorities allowed human rights organizations access to monitor prison conditions.

Consequently, we have published a document. Promises and Performance, to facilitate that scrutiny and that judgement. We have also organised ourcampaign insucha way that the straight hardfactsmaybe brought out in the open and kept therefor all to see. The record is one of which any political Party can be justly proud. In the last 5 years Barbados, unlike almost every other country in the world, has shown continuous and substantial real economic growth, and the Gross Domestic Product has doubled from $700 million in 1975 to $1,461 billion in 1980. This economic growth has led to thecreation of 25,000 jobs since 1975-76, and at the same time domestic productivity has increased so that wages have grown much faster than prices. Inflation rates have declined, so that from generally having the highest price increases in Caricom under the DLP Government, we now have the lowest. Reductions in personal income tax have been so substantial as to reduce thetax bite by 30% and the income level at which income tax starts has been raised from $25 weekly to $115. Old Age and other pensions have been raised three times in years, unemployment benefits have been introduced and the first phases ofthe National Health Service implemented in the ThirdWorld's first comprehensive Social Security System.

Prime Minister Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs and Investment Budgetary Proposals and Financial Statement, 2019 “STAY THE COURSE” March 20, 2019 Budgetary Proposals and Financial Statement 2019 2 Stay The Course -The Arc of Stabilisation, Growth and Transformation Mr. Speaker Sir, Sunday coming will mark 10 months that we embarked on our journey The commitment Barbadians have shown to this trek knows no equal. In this critical passage of our history, the Social Partnership has played a vital role. We have committed to a voyage for love of country and we must see it through. We must stay the course. Much progress has been made. Important points along the way have been seen and passed. The IMF’s approval of the Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan; the domestic debt restructuring and a budget surplus. But, trust me, everyone knows we cannot rebuild in 10 months what they destroyed in 10 years. And even as we embark on this path, we have been beset by some major challenges, led of course by the issue of gun-related violence. It is a scourge we will not ignore or tolerate and we have already begun taking steps to counter. We must and we will do all in our power to save your young people. And the international background today has made the task harder than ever before. Brexit has curbed the enthusiasm for travel from our largest source market. The OECD has forced us to abandon a 30-year old separation of tax rates between international and local business.

  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future
    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

The Election Observation Mission commends the Virgin Islands for taking positive steps to improve voting processes and to encourage a more positive campaign environment. Special commendation should go to the election officials who, in a short period of time, administered the election effectively. However, there is distrust in the electoral system, and the Mission continues to express concern that the regulatory framework, particularly in relation to campaign financing, lacks transparency and undermines the equality and openness of the election process. The Mission also expresses concerns about the qualification to vote and stand as a candidate and verification practices which challenge the principle of universal suffrage.” Hon.
