  • Order Paper will have questions for first time in 7 years
  • Leader of the Opposition, Tobias Clement will be asking more than 25 questions
  • Minister for Finance to be asked to provide detailed breakdown of Covid-19 stimulus package

For the first time in 7 years, the Order Paper for a sitting of House of Representative will have questions, and they are from the Leader of the Opposition, Tobias Clement who received his Instrument of appointment during the month of April.

Clement will be asking more than 25 questions to Leader of Government Business, Gregory Bowen; Prime Minister, Dr Keith Mitchell in his capacity as Minister for Finance; Agriculture Minister, Yolande Bain-Horsford; Health Minister, Nickolas Steele;  Emmalin Pierre in her capacity as Minister for Education; Kindra Mathurine-Stewart in her capacity as Member of Parliament for Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and Foreign Affairs Minister, Peter David.

Among the questions to Dr Mitchell are to provide to the House with a detailed breakdown of the Covid-19 stimulus package with the list of companies and the amount they received, as well as the list of the people receiving, and the amount received.

Dr Mitchell will also have to provide answers to:

  1. What was the amount in spending for each Constituency Office for the last two years?
  2. Can you provide the details of the contract that was signed between the Government of Grenada and the contractor who is responsible for the Constituency Offices?
  3. Can a detailed breakdown be given of payment to staff, rental utility, and office supply for each office?

Peter David, Minister for Foreign Affairs, will be asked to provide the House with a list of all persons given diplomatic status by the Government of Grenada, their names and place of birth. Minister for Infrastructure Development, Honourable Gregory Bowen, will be asked under whose ministry the Houses of Parliament was constructed, and be requested to provide a copy of the floor plan to show the destination of the office space and the purpose.

Clement will ask the Minister for Education, Honourable Emmalin Pierre, to provide to the House a plan for the reopening of schools in September, if it is prudent to do so and to confirm if additional monies have been budgeted for safety measures to be put in place for the reopening and if so, what is the amount.

According to the Order Paper, Clement has also filed a motion calling for members of the House of Representatives to authorise the immediate restoration of the financial administration and oversight of the constituency offices to the Houses of Parliament.

    Toby: one key question that you should pose to the Government –

    a full disclosure on the state of Grenada’s Oil & Gas sector. including any award of contracts for exploration and development along with full details as to which entity they have been awarded.

    time for accountability and transparency. time to #endcorruption in Grenada..

      Good question. Excellent points.

      Going further on this topic: there is credible insider information that there was a multi Million Advance Deposit to The State of Grenada for the Drilling & Discovery Rights: where did all of that money get routed to ?

      These are State Assets: should have been used for Schools, Job Training or the like. Appears to be dead silence here.

      Another question to raise and hopefully get some honest answers.

    Fantastic, someone finally able to question where the money’s going & expected to get an answer, brilliant! Not least is where’s all the millions in grants ref covid going/gone. Make them publish the accounts, make them declare minister’s interests & make them show where the money went. Corruption stinks.

    Yes, thank you Sir, for questioning the Leaders of Parliament in Grenada, i understand its the first time in seven years? This is absolutely madness. What kind of Goverment running Grenada. I will love to know what Kieth will come up with when asked about the COV19 money. It must be red hot in his bank account in America as i speak. May God help Grenada.

    Good Start. It is only a tiny First Step.

    Many, many Grenadians in Diaspora have lingering Questions to Add Here:

    In prior year in Fall, well over $ 100 million was borrowed from the World Bank: how was such Sum used up ?

    Much money flowed in from Global Banking & Funds Aid Facilities to help the people of Grenada during this Covid 19 Crisis. It is only proper that People should get an Accounting of such vast sums. Factual, accurate accounting.

    Isn’t it a major Conflict of Interest that Ministers or their family / wife’s are rocking and rolling in lucrative CBI Passport Sales & lining up $ Millions for their Own CBI Development Projects. NNP Gravy Train Express sure delivers sweet and lucritive Perks to The Chosen Ones. This while so many jobless and in near Poverty level.

    More questions to follow soon. Thank you.
