Former Chairman of the Consultative Forum, Queen’s Counsel Carlos Simons said that the British occupation of the TCI is creating uncertainty among residents and investors.
Making his contribution to the Consultative Forum on Tuesday, January 11, Simons said the period which the new proposed Constitution takes to be finalized and ratified by the UK Parliament was making life uncertain for international investors and locals alike.
He however, cautioned that while the process of the final document needs to be speeded up, in the final analysis it should be geared towards advancement of the country and not taking it backwards
Simons also noted that there was urgent need to revitalize the economy so that the private sector could provide the jobs needed to get the country up and running again, and also that Government could collect the required funds to make the public service more efficient and end the overhanging cloud of mass layoffs within that sector.
