Opposition leader Mia Mottley made the announcement yesterday at a Press conference at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition in the West Wing of Parliament.

She also disclosed Barbadians would be given the opportunity to demonstrate their support for the move at a BLP mass rally planned for Queen’s Park at 4 p.m. Sunday.

Booklets will be distributed for garnering of signatures from all who support the call for Sinckler’s removal as the country’s finance head.

Mottley said Barbados’ economy had reached a stage of virtual crisis and complained that the rate of decline was causing distress for Barbadians while international confidence in the country was also eroding.
