Democratic Labour Party (DLP) St James Central candidate Paul Gibson has taken umbrage to suggestions that he deliberately created an atmosphere of panic in the constituency by spreading a “wicked and malicious lie” about the future of the fish market at Paynes Bay St James.During the opening of the market on Monday, sitting Barbados Labour Party Member of Parliament Kerrie Symmonds took his opponent to task for suggesting that the market, which was closed for many months during the Highway 1 Rehabilitation Project, was being sold to foreign investors.“Anybody who does business at this market must have felt a sense of dread to hear that a person seeking office would tell a wicked and malicious lie such as was told,” Symmonds declared in a clear dig at Gibson.
