Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has assured opponents of\u00a0 his EC$32,000.00 rental property in Morne Daniel that the lease will not be renewed at the end of the 2-year contract.<\/p>\n

Dissent brewed over a decision taken by the Cabinet of Dominica on June 9, 2020, to approve a monthly payment of EC $32,000 for the property from Mercury Properties Development Ltd. for the Prime Minister and his family.<\/p>\n

Leader of the Opposition, Lennox Linton, was among many who strongly condemned the \u201chefty\u201d approval and had written to Skerrit, demanding immediate revocation.<\/p>\n

Organisations such as the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), and other political parties, the Dominica Freedom Party (DFP) and newcomer Alternative People\u2019s Party (APP) also added their voice in expressing dissatisfaction over Cabinet’s decision.<\/p>\n

In his closing arguments at the 2020\/2021 Budget presentation on August 4, 2020,\u00a0 the country’s leader defended the approval of such funds; however, exactly 2 months later, the Prime Minister appears to have had a change of heart.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his Anou Palay show on October 4<\/a>, <\/strong>Skerrit stated, \u201c<\/strong>so\u00a0 the issue of $32,000 will not be an issue no more. At the end of the 2 years you will certainly see an end to this lease and it will not be extended. I’m making every effort to make accommodation for myself as a private citizen and my family as private citizens and that is my simple response\u00a0 to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addressing statements on public officers’ discontentment over the figure, the Prime Minister advised, \u201cwe cannot mix issues. I think if there’s a particular issue that anybody in the country has, let it stand on its own merits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though he admitted that this sum\u00a0 is lofty, Skerrit is of the view that any figure put forth on his behalf would have been met with opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody was concerned when I lived in a makeshift facility for three years as the Prime Minister of the country. I spent a whole year for example having to walk outside to go to a shower, it took the government a whole year to build a shower for me,\u201d he said, and asked, \u201cShould the President of the United States or the Governor of Florida give up their residence because their country has been locked down and they have seen a dramatic reduction in their earnings? Should the queen of England sell Buckingham Palace and go somewhere else?\u201d<\/p>\n

Some have suggested that the Prime Minister should, instead, relocate to his home in Vieille Case, an option which he stated that he too considered at one point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to go back to my home in Vieille Case\u2026and there was one period in time when\u00a0 I did move back, but when I look at the police officers who have to provide services to me as Prime Minister, most of those guys they live in Roseau and environs, they have families and I have always been appreciative of what they do for me. I understand the impact that it would have had on them if I have to relocate,” he explained. “Also there is the cost of security in Veille Case because the state will have to put certain systems in place to enhance the security of the Prime Minister because now this is official residence, no longer his private residence and the state has a certain responsibility to the safety and the well-being of the Prime Minister.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skerrit pointed out that designs\u00a0 had been made available in 2016\u00a0 for the construction of an official residence for the Prime Minister in Morne Bruce. However, plans were halted due to the passage of Hurricane Maria in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt that it was not the right time to proceed with building a residence for the Prime Minister while the rest of the country and many citizens were homeless. I went to the Cabinet and I said to them that we need to defer the commencement of the construction and put this on hold and give preference to providing shelter to the citizens,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister continued, \u201cbut there’s a sense that if we had gone to build it, the same people who are saying you should have built it would have been the same people who would be saying ‘oh look, Skerrit build a residence for his self and people don’t have home.’ When we built the official residence for the President, people had issue with it and we were the only country in the western hemisphere which did not have an official residence for the President.<\/p>\n

Skerrit proclaimed that upon his departure from the Office of Prime Minister, he will be the strongest advocate for the state to provide adequate and proper accommodation for the leader of the country as he will see to it that no other Prime Minister is exposed to the “indignity” such as he has.<\/p>\n

He revealed that a cabinet subcommittee has been appointed to review the official dwelling of the prime minister.<\/p>\n

Some of the prime minister’s critics on this issue have suggested that the money being used to pay for his rented accommodation should have been used, instead, to service a loan for the construction of a residence for the Office of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has assured opponents of\u00a0 his EC$32,000.00 rental property in Morne Daniel that the lease will not be renewed at the end of the 2-year contract.
