Owen Arthur questions Finance Minister’s assets

(Barbados Nation) Prime Minister Freundel Stuart has not set an election date because his ministers are yet to declare their assets to Parliament, Opposition Leader Owen Arthur has charged.

The former Prime Minister also urged Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler to declare his assets and sources, saying the minister was spending heavily in his constituency and he wanted to know where “all this bounty” came from.

Arthur was speaking at the opening of the St James Central Constituency Office of the Barbados Labour Party in Hoyte’s Village Saturday.

“Mia Mottley and I, without there being any need, went to Parliament and said this is what I have, this is what I own and what I owe,” Arthur said, explaining that he and the former Opposition Leader had long declared their assets. (GA)
