The main opposition Democratic Labour Party (DLP) is calling on the ruling Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to get down to business in administering the affairs of the island instead of engaging in a blame game, nine months after the general election.
The BLP won all the 30 seats in the May 24, 2018 general election and Prime Minister Mia Mottley became the first woman to head a government in this Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country. The DLP said in a statement, "After nine months in office, it is time for the Mottley administration to get on with the job they were elected to do instead of apportioning blame to the former government whenever solutions evade them." The government has blamed the former DLP administration for the economic woes confronting the island. It has since had to enter into a US$290 million Extended Fund Facility (EEF) with the international monetary fund (IMF) and has significantly cut down expenditure within the public service by retrenching many works.
