Henry attacks Rymer, says 'transportation industry gone to dogs’
Uttering that the ‘industry has gone to the dogs’, Henry is of the view that while the transportation sector has deteriorated over the years, the Subject Minister is not involving key industry players in the consultation process, yet, all players will have to be subjected to any new policy.
Limited Consultations
“There’s a new transportation policy coming out, and nobody is aware of what it’s really about, and I understand that the people who are really in transportation were not even involved in the consultation. We had a lot of people from elsewhere bringing some of their ideas,” he said on the Thursday, April 11, 2019 edition of the radio show with co-host Kaream K. Pickering aka 'Picko Moff' on Tola Radio VI.
Henry continued, “But the people who are here on the ground were not involved… delivery, taxi operators, bus operators, industry players. We’re not involved,” the local radio host lashed out.
He said if you are going to create new policies, then all people must be involved so as to get the best outcome for the industry.
“I’m not saying that nobody at all wasn’t involved, I’m simply saying that the people that I know who are instrumental, especially in transportation from what I understand, they were not involved in the consultation but we got a new policy,” he further complained.
Strengthen Industry Now
In appealing to the subject minister Hon Rymer, Mr Henry says that while we wait for the new policy, there are things that can be done now to strengthen the existing industry.
“As a taxi operator, I am out here every day, and people are flagging me down with a lot of vigour… expect me to stop for them to drive them from East End to Road Town for $3… because it’s become accustomed now that that is the norm, as long as you driving a minibus you better stop for me.”
He said with more consultation—by speaking with the small man—there are things the ministry can do, which according to him, will “stop a lot of the foolishness that is going on in the taxi industry & transportation.”
