How much forex Rock Hard Cement using up and what’s the cost-benefit scenario? Is RHC wholly or partially manufactured in Barbados, and if not, will it meet the Caricom rules of origin for non-tariffs? If RHC is deemed to be an external good will it be able to compete with Arawak regionally? Will the company earn more Forex than arawak even if the repatriation of arawak earnings is considered? Multiplier effect/defect? #justasking.

That is all irrelevant.

Mark Maloney (MM) managed to get his DLP yard-dogs to remove the Arawak manufacturers’-protection import levies for cement. This was a secret deal between MM and government; no publicity, no consultancy, no association lobbying. One day it was there, the next it was gone. This has never happened in the 30 years I’ve been in business, usually the lobbying by local groups for similar consideration (application or removal of duties) takes years and accomplishes nothing, but not in this case. Very similar to the duty-free deal to operate Bushy Park as a profit-making private company rather than the National Home for Motor Sport as it was intended to be. Seeing a MOF trend yet?

RockHardSt.Lucia RockHardSt.Lucia_Page_1 RockHardSt.Lucia_Page_2

Cement was imported from Portugal by Hardrock and sold from the flour mill compound (how does any Bajan get to use gov’t property for profit without going through the tender process and years of lobbying?) at a lower price than Arawak, then Arawak lowered their prices in response.

Then Arawak’s mother-company Cemex (Mexican owners who bought Arawak’s Trini parent company after BDS Gov’t sold out our shares) bought the plant in Portugal which was supplying Hardrock.

So now Arawak has a functioning port, mixing plant, bagging plant, established Caribbean sales network, international supply network AND NO IMPORT DUTIES ON FINISHED GOODS THANKS TO MM AND HIS TEEFIN POLITICIAN FRIENDS.

Sounds like a self-solving problem to me.

    Bush Tea, your logic is completely disingenuous. One could almost imagine that you are defending the absolute disgusting, sinful behaviour of the dominant negro class in Barbados.

    Unlike apartheid era days Black folks control ALL aspects of the goverance of this country. Any ability by Maloney or any other is facilitated by the direct and complete acquiescence of that governing Black cabal!!!

    @David, I never questioned the Act or the fact that the land owner will not be also actioned. I noted that the LESSEE is first and foremost enjoined. Perhaps Enuff or another attorney can dispute that simple fact.

    Surely as lessor you have given over certain liabilities; so how can you be made to pay for example, any fines or other sanctions – under the law- for the malfeasance of your duly authorised lease holder.

    Even in circumstances where the gov’t get relief from a lessor then in turn the lessor would be able to seek redress from the lessee.

    That is simple law 101. Nothing deep about that.

    The Port cannot be the at the fore-front of this debacle. But of course as it is their land they will now be absolutely checking their legal obligations in the event the lessee is acting in a gross and illegal manner.

    And simply stated if he is in breech of the lease agreement then they can preempt all this by suing him to stop that breech. Clearly however that does not seem to be the case

    You, (who knows not, and knows not that you know not,) should normally be ignored, but you ain’t a bad or hopeless fella, so here goes…. 🙂

    What ‘dominant Negro class’ is that?
    One CANNOT be ‘dominant’ when one is indebted to someone else. Do you need Bushie to quote some well known person who said that…or is it self-evident?
    If you borrow other people’s money, or accept other people’s bribes – you can NEVER be associated with the word ‘dominant’…. OK? …THAT word is MENDICANT.

    ….similarly if you choose to live in other people’s countries..(unless of course you are Muslim…), ‘dominant’ does not apply.
    …so wheel and come back Dribbles…. LOL

    David. and in what context would that be possible? You are going into another reality with that line of legal reasoning.

    Like you I also go with the KISS principle…so the Port Authority by name and law is, as far as I know, a legal entity. So how can they NOT be able to contract with a lessee about use of their land?

    Again, as far as I know, the land is theirs vested under their legal title.

    We agree David, things are very simple. It is when we start to look for complications or indeed when we dismiss the simplicity that we start with the stupidity!

    The lessee is outrageously wrong here.

    The lessor has contracted with an apparent unrepentant and repeated scofflaw of Town Planning regs and they should act swiftly to distance themselves legally and otherwise from his legal entanglements.

    If as you are surmising the Port does not have rights then the entire thing will get blown up and Maloney will sue the Port’s backside, because I am not sure what rights then they could have given him to get this far. KIS!!!

    @Dee Word

    What BU is saying is that the transaction at the Port appears to be a complicated on. Have you seen the covenant governing Port lands? Do you know what rights have been vested to the Port by the Crown? Until you do to write in absolutes is a nonsense.

    How do you define ‘power’? Do you recall in the 70s under the Erskine Sandiford administration what happened? He had the political ‘power’ but another group had the economic power which saw flight of capital and lack of investment in the country. Be careful how you toss around the WORD power because it is only a word unless there is real opportunity to influence.

    David, of course I have not seen any covenants. I write in absolute simplicity Mr Blogmaster.

    As you said earlier KISS. Your position as enunciated at 11:07 AM is wonderful legal analysis. And that’s why you are a blogmeister and that’s how lawyers earn their high-fees.

    So let’s keep it simple. If what you surmise has validity then…

    —1 Maloney’s lawyers were JAs to lease these lands from the Port and not be absolutely clear on what rights of use they have (that is basic, any landlord/renter and certainly a lawyer would know that).

    –2 David Jean-Marie’s backside should be terminated for engaging his organization in a legal wrangle by offering what they were not able to do

    –3. The ports lawyers are also JAs and would also be liable for gross incompetence.

    So Mr Blogmaster, if one the face of all those high powered very bright people you can so purposefully say that I write in ‘absolutes’ of a nonsense then my friend, I gracefully bow to your more attuned reasoning.

    Incidentally, you appreciate that leasing land log-term is as involved as purchasing of land. Thus all covenants and such matters have to be carefully and properly reviewed; yet you are suggesting – well nigh saying unequivocally – that folks are operating in abject ignorance.

    Well this is the B’dos government so you could be right there! LOLLL.

    We have to watch this carefully.

    There were reports that the Town Planning Department had also served an enforcement notice on the Barbados Port Authority (BPA), the landlord of Lots 3 and 7 currently being occupied by the cement company.

    However, BPA Chief Executive Officer David Jean Marie told Barbados TODAY that up to this afternoon, no “revised” notices had been served on the statutory agency.

    “We have previously been served enforcement and stop notices. We have been informed that revised enforcement and stop notices are to be issued,
    but we are not yet formally served,” Jean Marie said.

    Asked what action he would take if and when the Authority was formally served, the CEO replied: “We would have to respond. We would have to understand the nature of it and investigate when the notice is given and respond according to the law.”

    Bush Tea folks like me who ” knows not, and knows not that you know not” are never the problem, as we can b easily identified as ‘know-nothings’ as soon as we speak for more than two minutes. So indeed we can be ignored by those like yourselves who pose the gravest risks to their fellow-man: Those who know, and convince others that what they know is all that must be known. So ignore onward….

    You are a dangerous word-user sir. Your rhetoric is more destructive that anything else here about….it’s definitely all the White folks fault. You basically are validating everything John espouses. Stupid Blacks aren’t we. Absolutely incredible.

    If you as Black man in 2016 can make the forceful argument that our Black leaders are all mendicants to a White controlling class and do not accept that you are also making the equally strong argument that we as Blacks are second-class citizens to an apparently superior White group then I absolutely fear for my people.

    After all you were the teacher, business-man and Cooperative leader through all this.

    It is said by those who know that often into the third generation that the scions of wealthy people lose their oomp and thus start to squander the wealth and lose the business/focus that brought that wealth.

    To listen to you, not only have all the White rich families here blown through that concept but on the converse all the poor Black ones – even those who have gained great professional ascendancy – have remained mendicant and beholding to them too.

    Who am I therefore to refute the arguments of the man who knows all and knows that what he knows must be known only.

    As powerless and mendicant as our leaders supposedly are new entrants can enter the game and gain outstanding wealth even as new White generations of wealth makers make the grade.

    All with this mendicant, powerless group who help with lucrative contracts, set-asides and the like. Mere stupid pawns to a superior intelligence.

    Ok David re at 11:40 AM…that’s the nature of the law as we noted above. Not to quote myself (so cheap, LOL) but as I noted, ” The lessor … should act swiftly to distance themselves legally and otherwise from his legal entanglements.”

    I am a practitioner. So any lands that I have rented I expect are under the liability of my renter but I also know that if anything illegal or accidentally happens which lead to legal recourse then I can also be liable. Thus I should have adequate legal/insurance cover.

    I am confident that a scholar who has been a CEO for many years knows those rudiments of the law infinitely better than I do.

    Maloney will be forced to obey the law in one way or the other.

    Yet it will all come down to which Minister is more powerful. LOLLLL. Sad. What a mess.

    Ms Well well, this complete infatuation with Barbados and its corrupt processes is clearly causing you some grave mental anguish. You can curse me as much as you want if that will salve something for you.

    I have noted before how absolutely inane many of your remarks are and how you are so easily duped. Your level of awareness or simply lack of ability in reading the often obvious tea-leaves (not Bush Tea) says a lot about your endless rants here.

    So oh person with such great misery about Barbados. Yes I agree we have rampant corruption; and for our small island it is rather insidious and too pervasive.

    Canada or US are not immune however so your continuous put-downs of Bajans (bad or not) gets a bit tiresome after a while.

    Thanks by the way for your French. I stopped doing that back at school so it does gives me an opportunity to see how much I can still comprehend…I really need to finally get it to a better level because as they say continuous learning can stave off things like dementia.

    As I said you display an abject (my favorite word, loll) level of acuity too often here. Continue in your mode it works well for me…and do please continue with the French…I really am taking that dementia thing seriously!!

    So as far as you are concerned I live in Canada and have been there now since nearly 50 years and unfortunately still do not speak French. Clearly one of us is a ‘dumb-ass’ !!!

    Surely we would love to see you ‘get started’…why don’tyou enlighten us how he was going to acquire the land to the detriment of the taxpayers…you often offer these ridiculous teasers. I can’t imagine that you have been stationery all this time…who knew!!!

    Not only Bushie but many blacks including the yardfowls on BU cackling in support of that dangerous lying party (dlp).
    It’s a pity we are not hearing from the Negroman and the acs on this Maloney business.

    When are black Bajans going to take responsibility for their own destiny instead of continuing to be the white man’s burden?

    How easy it is to use as a scapegoat the native (Bajan) white man for the failures of the black leaders. The Bajan whites ‘settled’ in Bim before blacks and have every right to claim their priority as the controlling species. But an endangered species that is losing out in the population numbers games and in about 50 years will be on the brink of extinction both demographically and economic relevance. The Bajan whites had their time in the tropical Sun and are leaving the stage primarily due to population collapse and ‘congenital’ melanoma.

    Instead of blacks using their education and numerical superiority to move into the ascendancy of economic control they continue to blame a ghost of an enemy while the those of East Indian, Middle Eastern and Chinese origins take over the commanding heights of the economy and become the new puppeteer to pull the strings of the black mis-educated corrupt political class.

    Hello you black idiots, the white shadows are fading. Stop seeing through black and white tinted glasses. It’s time to wake up and start seeing the big black forest instead of the few dying white trees.

    Let me end by saying this:
    The current state of the decaying social and economic landscape of Barbadoes is primarily the fault and making of the Bajan white people. They should never have surrendered political power so easily to a bunch corrupt arrogant incompetent misfits as reflected in the current composition of that 376 year old Parliament.

    Bajan blacks see whites as gods and gods they should have remained to be adored, obeyed and aped.

    Someone should do a bit of research as to the cause of the present malaise,state of inertia,lack of leadership that has infected our country and when did it start……was it 1961?.
    …………………………………………………………..
    This was always part of our culture,and a time bomb with a long fuse. Everything King Midas touched turned to gold,but in our case the gold which we were gifted with, we have quickly reverted into trash and rot.
    Lets look at the plantation big black sedan, which was used to drive about the mistress and the master. The uniformed chauffeur,spent most of the day shining that car like the proverbial Bucky Dog Stones . I do not believe that today’s car valets with their wide selection of cleaning and polishing solutions could have done a better job. Later,as this car was replaced, the Chauffeur became the new owner.A year or so later that car has become as dilapidated as the relatively new National Insurance Building.
    The plantation gardener, with just a cutlass and a piece of board, kept the long and flourishing fences around the plantation house in immaculate condition. No weed whackers, no trimmers. Pass by the same gardener’s home and you may likely not see it for the tall grass and bush enveloping his home,just like some buildings in the Garrison World Heritage Site.
    Perhaps some of the finest cooks we ever had in Barbados,were those who worked in the plantation great houses, serving the master and his family, including the big bred dogs, some of the finest meals. But when she gets home to her own family, it is a quick rustled up meal,accompanied with a “ya food hay!”
    So it should not come as a surprise that we were bequeathed the Gem of the Caribbean’, and by our doings, it has now become the festering sore of the Caribbean.
    We like it so,dah is we culture.,

    After that child died, .that is when an investigation should have been made and criminal charges filed, but like Pedant, the authorities believe these criminal practices and all the corruption on the island is for their personal titillation and entertainment….and it’s nothing serious and should be tolerated by the public…those are warped mentalities at play, destructive in their entirety.

    The Maloney brothers have set about convincing the Barbados Port Inc and management of BAMC that there is not problem with storing raw sugar at one end of the bond and grey cement at the other end?

    @ Past Zone and other BU-ians

    This demolition (for which it would be good to have a picture for one of my Book covers) only goes to show that there are still some men and women in Barbados who, because they are servants of the institutions of law, (and not like MIA MOTTLEY believes, SERVED BY the institutions of Law) have shown that they are tired of the shyte of people getting kill at 11 p.m. and having an ingrunt prime minister dat doan know shyt.

    What they need to do next is dig up the Coverley Island/projection in the middle of the ABC highway next.

    And make sure to put a structure or lights there to warn drivers that the sh&t is out of the road.

    “Then Arawak’s mother-company Cemex (Mexican owners who bought Arawak’s Trini parent company after BDS Gov’t sold out our shares) bought the plant in Portugal which was supplying Hardrock”

    Consequently, the following questions needs to be asked:
    1) Is Rock Hard Cement still in business?
    2) Have they found a new supplier?
    3) Will the Cemex St. Lucy plant be closed and cement imported from a cheaper source?
    4) Is the cement plant/terminal of Mark Maloney still under construction?
    5) What is the outlook for cement prices/supplies for the average Barbadian?

    These issues burn hot for a time and then we are off to the next topic.
