A POLITICAL ACTIVIST has called on the political class to “stop taking taxpayers’ money”.

Dr Ronnie Yearwood was speaking at a public forum he organised entitled Building Barbados: From People To Policy at Harrison College on Saturday.  ronnieyearwooddr

The trade specialist, who lost the Barbados Labour Party’s nomination for St James South to Sandra Husbands last October, declared to the scores who were in the school’s hall that the island could not continue in a game of “political musical chairs” where a few were enriched “by one or the other government”.

“So I will say this for everyone thinking it – our collective political class must stop taking the taxpayers’ money.” (HLE)
