It made it clear that the government of Dominica has not benefited from any loans. The government of Dominica has nothing to do with loans in this program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo again it was misinformed, but just to make sure and guide to be aware of the things that are taking place here and be aware of some of the folks out there who are bent on derailing your own programs as young people,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the prime minister to graduates of the Dominica Youth Business Trust (DYBT), McInyre urged graduates to be aware of persons who are trying to stop the funds that are being used to develop their futures.<\/p>\n<p>His comments came in response to OD Brisbane and Sons proprietor Jerry Brisbane\u2019s publication of two letters he (Brisbane) sent to donor countries and organisations, raising concern over what he said was government\u2019s decision to take a $27 million loan to build an \u201cunnecessary\u201d new luxury State House during times of financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Another of Brisbane\u2019s letters spoke against \u201cpoor tendering practices\u201d by the government on important infrastructural projects.<\/p>\n<p>McIntyre told the graduation ceremony this afternoon at the Fort Young Hotel that government has worked hard to secure these funds to develop the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last couple of days you may have heard a lot of criticism coming on the government by basically one foe. We have to be very careful, the very same resources that we have been going out there really bridging the gap negotiating with our friendly government. There are folks out there who are really bent on trying to create problems for you and I want you to be aware of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c There are letters that were written recently to the European Union, to Chinese governments in reference to government\u2019s reckless spending of money but this is the same money that they are referring to here to support you the young people in terms of business opportunities. And I want you to take note of that,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>The minister added, \u201cWhen these folks go out there and write to foreign governments you know, talking about government\u2019s reckless spending of money, it is from friendly governments to assist our young people in the challenges being faced today. Some of these very countries&#8230; that he has written to they are facing their financial difficulties as well too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trade Minister Colin McIntrye has said that at least one donor country has responded in favour of the government concerning letters which OD Brsibane and Sons proprietor Jerry Brisbane have sent to them. \u201cLuckily today I read the response of&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":19911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
