"and so, contrary to what the 'leisure' has sought to proffer, my remarks as per the press release in question, were not intended to impugn or otherwise downplay the value, international recognition or prestige of our esteemed indigenous caribbean brands such as sandals and superclubs" said Bartlett
Criticising the lateness in the minister's response, Bartlett said, "it been over a week since the initial ritz-carlton announcement of an imminent closure and impending sale, and so it is most disturbing that the minister, who should have been proactive from the very outset, is now only moving to confirm"
