Prime Minister Mia Mottley says details on the planned reform of the state-owned enterprises (SOE) is not yet ready for dissemination.Defending her decision not to reveal the details behind the plan Mottley said, “There is no doubt that there has to be reform, and we have not hidden what must happen with respect to it. We have been in discussions, some more advanced than others, some just starting with the unions.”In her wrap-up of the 2023 Budget debate the Prime Minister also added, “I am not for the sake of politics, or a positive comment, going to come in here and disrespect our partners in labour in the social partnership, and tell you and the country things that are not ripe. Things that are not yet completed,” she said on Thursday evening.Mottley was responding to the criticism from some quarters that not enough information was revealed on the current state of SOE reform being planned.
