A resounding no confidence motion has been filed against the Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Reverend Atherley by the D.D.A (Diss De Artiste) dept of the National Cultural Foundation. The head of the DDA presented the motion to Prime Minister and Minister of Culture Mr. Arthur highlighting several areas of concern as it relates to the actions of the Minister of State in the Prime Ministers office. The D.D.A is most concerned of the frank and fair methods utilized by Minister Atherley while transacting the business of cultural affairs during the just concluded Crop Over season.

It is alleged that instead of treating members of the entertainment industry like the nobodies they really are, Mr. Atherley has on several occasions treated them with respect and even allowed entertainer Dwayne Grazzette to speak at a meeting and responded to his concerns as though he mattered.

A specific incident was identified at a meeting where NCF attempted to renege on a previous agreement reached with cultural industries, instead going along with the attempt to diss de artistes, Minister Attherley stood on the side of the Artistes and honored the previous agreement . It was a most disgraceful action by a government minister.
DDA called the performance of Minister Attherley one of the most shameful acts he has seen for some time. “He refuses to go along with any concocted lies “It is like talking to a priest” the DDA head stated disgustedly.

It is also reported that Minister Attherley not only communicates with Peter Boyce of the cultural evil Madd group but accepted an invitation to attend Bacchanal Time during Crop Over and actually attended and appeared to have fun. Photographic evidence was presented to support this accusation. (see above)

“It is unacceptable” the Head of D.D.A Stated “that after all the progress made by NCF to disrespect local artistes as much as possible that Atherley has been reversing the process” We will not stand for it, it is time to send Atherley packing!
The head of DDA has issued an ultimatum to the Minister of Culture that if Atherley is not withdrawn as Minister of State that ….. Well something bad will happen don’t know what but it will not be good!

Attempts to get a comment from Minister Atherley up to press time proved futile.
