Aspects of the current Legislation governing the island's Energy Policy including that of the Intervenor, are being described as a hindrance to investment. That's according to Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Kerrie Symmonds. Leading off debate in parliament this morning on the new Electricity Supply Bill 2024, Minister Symmonds said the law it is meant to replace is repetitive and creates unnecessary barriers to the ease of doing business. He says those aspects will be removed from the legislation as the country goes forward. Mr. Symmonds says there must be a balance which provides the opportunity to move forward with the investment. According to Minister Symmonds, the new Legislation sets out the roles and responsibilities of all the key stakeholders. He says it retains the electricity advisory committee which advises the Minister to approve licences and assigns rights under the licence among other things.

An Anglican cleric believes Barbados has become a nation of complainers. Senator Reverend Charles Morris says citizens should be thankful when they look back and see the Lord has delivered them from difficult times. He compared Barbadians' behaviour after the passage of Hurricane Beryl to others in countries hardest hit, as an example. Reverend Morris was delivering a sermon at the St. Peter Parish Church. He also made his thoughts known about Government's new policy on vehicle tints. The Reverend believes motorists should remove the dark tint, as he says it's one method to prevent certain crimes.

Barbadians have been given a chance to comment on legislation being brought to deal with overgrown lots before it becomes final. This is according to Home Affairs Minister Wilfred Abrahams, who was speaking during a BLP St. George North meeting last evening. The amendments to the Health Services Bill, which would see the owners of unkempt lots being fined an administrative penalty on their Land Tax Bill, were brought before Parliament in July. The Bill and draft Regulations were then sent before a standing select committee for further consideration. Mr. Abrahams is urging Barbadians to take preparations for the hurricane season seriously, as he notes the impacts of climate events have been intensifying. He says many flooding issues are caused by illegal dumping.
