Today’s Opposition boycott has come in for a tongue-lashing from some Members of Parliament.
Minister of Small Business Denis Kellman said the BLP’s absence was a perfect reason for the Barbadian electorate to act responsibly. “Anytime a person does not report for work, I don’t feel he is fit for employment,” Kellman said. “. . .

Minister of Health, Donville Inniss said it was “shameful” that BLP members have absented themselves from Parliament. (RJ)
