| SQUATTERS IN GOVERNMENT FACILITY |
THE ABUSE CONTINUES AT THE MOA
We
promise that if the Prime Minister will not fix the corruption and racketeering
at the Ministry of Agriculture we will let the public know what is going on.
We are
not sure how much authority the Minister of Agriculture (MOA) has over the PM
Skerrit’s hand-picked senior officer however we will follow protocol by first asking
the honorable Minister Drigo the following questions.
Mr. Drigo: Are you aware that a top level officer in the
MOA is submitting mileage claim for a vehicle Registration # PG-129 and do you
know that this vehicle Reg # PG-129 has been out of commission for almost two years?
We checked that vehicle status and this
vehicle is now being used for spare parts. In fact that vehicle is shown at the
Traffic Department system as out of commission since license, registration and
insurance has expired for two years.
Mr. Drigo: Have you been notified that this particular
top level officer is using government vehicles as his personal vehicle and is
claiming vehicle and mileage allowance even as he continues to use government
vehicles like they belong to him.
What is even more troubling is that this
particular top level officer is responsible for denying vehicle and mileage
claims by genuine and deserving public servant at the MOA.

| Hot Plate |
We also notice that this particular top
level official changes the government
vehicles every so often so as to disguise his operation. .
Mr. Drigo: Are
the farmers and tax payers of Dominica responsible for picking up the tab when
top level official decide to utilize or squat at a government facility in La
Plain like it is their own private dwelling house– running utilities with AC
unit on all weekend and utilizing a hot plate to cook meals.
We understand that due to domestic issues
this top level official has taken up residence at the government facility
particularly on weekends.
One
may ask what is the purpose of our inquiry or why are we putting such
information out in the public domain. The reason we are doing so is because we
firmly believe that shame still has the ability to bring meaningful changes. We
are at a dangerous point in Dominica where corruption is considered a normal
and acceptable phenomenon. There is no doubt that the decaying socioeconomic
situation in Dominica is indeed a manifestation of the leadership and
institutional calamities, misuse of power, mediocrity, greed and corruption. In
order to clean up this mess we must begin fumigation and disinfestation at the
top level positions.
We
hope that this top level official at the MOA will begin to focus on truly
bringing value to the MOA as oppose to using his authority solely for personal
gain. We also hope that in spite of the PM’s relationship with this top level
official the Minister Drigo will stand up (when
cock grow teeth) against the racketeering in the MOA.
Monkey boomboom expose and he doesn`t know.
