While Prime Minister Skerrit is away, Hon. Dr. Irving McIntyre, Minister for Finance, Economic Development, Climate Resilience and Social Security, will assume the role of Acting Prime Minister.
Yet another pleasure trip for Roosevelt. Can DNO do the taxpayers a favour? Can you calculate how many $millions have been spent from the public purse on the leisurely overseas joyrides for the entire span of Roosevelt’s tenure as prime minister. I’m sure the accurate amount would shock the world even his most diehard adherents. We have a right to know how taxpayers’ money is being spent.
Maybe present yes, but we all know he is a no show
