BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Advocate - In the effort to address the situation with CLICO, the leader of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) is suggesting that Barbados should begin by focusing on its own people and attend to the needs of others after. At a spot meeting in Amity Lodge, Christ Church last night Owen Arthur responded to comments made on the political platform by Minister of Finance Christopher Sinckler at the presentation of the Democratic Labour Party ( DLP) candidates at Passage Road, St. Michael on Wednesday night. On that occasion, the Finance Minister mocked the BLP leader for promises made on the platform that if brought to power he would pay the CLICO policyholders their lost money. Sinckler questioned where Arthur would find the $800 million plus required for the repayment.
