Government chided on CLICO

Bridgetown.

Leader of the Opposition Owen Arthur, says the Government has a moral obligation to fix the CLICO problem.

Speaking at the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) headquarters last night, Arthur said wth the late Prime Minister David Thompson tied to the CLICO fallout, the Government should make finding a solution a priority.

"They have a moral obligation because a former leader of the Democratic Labour Party was at the scene of every decision made by CLICO, that has brought the company to this sorry mess and it is about time that we start talking in these terms about David Thompson", the Opposition Leader said.

"The Democratic Labour Party (DLP) have an obligation because CLICO was not brought to this state without David Thompson being aware of everything that CLICO was doing. The DLP, who are the inheritors of his legacy have a duty to those who have invested in CLICO, to fix that  problem and fix it now", he added.
