Nation News "BUILDING CONTRACTOR Al Barrack will get his money from Government, but exactly when remains unclear.
'He will definitely be paid,' Prime Minister David Thompson told the DAILY NATION yesterday.
'There has never been an occasion when the Government of Barbados has had an obligation that it has not eventually paid.'
He said Government was 'trying to find the resources' to pay the contractor the millions of dollars it owes 'against a background of a severe economic crisis' across the world which has adversely impacted Barbados.
Barrack has been in a militant mood, threatening to seize Government property because of the non-payment of a more than $60 million debt triggered by an arbitration award over his role in constructing the Government's office complex in Warrens, St Michael.
Thompson said that paying Barrack had never been an issue with his Government, which inherited the debt when the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) left office in January, 2008."
