PM is Back, But His Back, Not Quite Yet
posted (October 29, 2018)
One month after returning from back surgery, Prime Minister Dean Barrow returned to the public spotlight today. He hosted a press conference at the Radisson today - covering a broad range of subjects from the ICJ Education campaign to the legalization of marijuana.

But, the first thing he spoke about was his health - where he said, he's fully back at the helm of the state - albeit with a little pain:...

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"In terms of where I am now, I will borrow Raul Castro's famous words, though said in another context. My recovery is proceeding sin prisa pero sin pausa. I am only 7 weeks in, and optimum results can't be expected, so the doctors say, until I reach the four-month mark. But meantime I am at work, chairing Cabinet meetings and, as I hope to demonstrate today, fully engaged in dealing with the business and problems of our country."
