Independent Senator Dr Kristina Hinds has cautioned Barbadians not to leap into new investment opportunities without ascertaining all potential risks, even as she made it clear she was not seeking to discourage Barbadians from buying into new government bonds going on offer.She gave the advice on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, during debate on the Barbados Optional Savings Bonds Plus (Offer to the Public) Bill 2022 under which Barbados Optional Savings Scheme (BOSS) bonds will be extended to the general public through a BOSS Plus initiative.Although praising the new bond offer, saying that the returns on the investment are, on paper, lucrative, Senator Hinds advised citizens to seek guidance from financial experts when considering new investments.“Whenever you invest there is a risk, and if we are going to be honest with people we have to tell them that any investment carries a risk, and that means protected as they may be there is a risk,” she said.

Independent Senator Dr Kristina Hinds says the Safety and Health at Work (Amendment) Bill 2022 falls short of addressing the changing nature of the workplace, even as she expressed broad support for the legislation.She told the sitting of the Senate on Wednesday that the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the workplace is no longer just brick and mortar establishments and the legislation should therefore have acknowledged that it can be a private residence and address critical issues related to that.“I believe that we need amendments to acknowledge occupational health and safety when persons’ work places move into the home, move into the private sphere. The legislation, as I mentioned, relates to things that are very conventional as to what is work and where work happens,” Dr Hinds said.
