The Administrator for LIAT, Cleveland Seaforth, says all governments in the region will be asked to write off debts owed by the carrier. Seaforth told ABS News that this accounts for nearly a third of the over EC$300 million in liabilities on the airline’s books. “We have spoke to the employees through their unions, we have spoken to a number of stakeholders, some of the creditors we’ve been having discussions with them and we continue to do so,” Seaforth said. “We have also, so far, been speaking with potential investors who have expressed an interest in coming onboard.”

LIAT employees throughout the region who have not been paid for several months could get at least one month’s salary soon, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced. “We have advanced US$1 million so far to pay all LIAT workers right throughout the system for July,” Browne announced Saturday afternoon on Pointe FM. “However, our position is that any liability that arose prior to July should form part of the receivership estate because we stepped in in July. That’s when we decided to take some level of responsibility to give support to the Administrator.”

The fact of having a bias does not, therefore, limit the capacity of a person to argue factually or to assert politically colourless truth. Elected politicians or those aspiring for public office may pledge to serve the people faithfully. They usually…

This as the country recorded its 13th fatality overnight, with a total of 899 cases. Deyalsingh said he took note of an incident on Friday where police had to disperse a party involving 32 people.
