You spent HOW MUCH?!? July 17, 2006
Please, please, PLEASE tell me that a decimal point is misplaced in the following figure… $633,315.00. That’s how much money you and I forked out for our ministers to travel last year.
Ok before I go on…..what in the HELL is our minister of Home Affairs doing at the top of the list of frequent fliers racking up $137,316? I’m sorry I would have thought that being the minister of HOME AFFAIRS would require him being, oh I don’t know, HOME, a bit more often than most of our other ministers. Maybe if he was HOME, and working to improve things at HOME, issues like this and this wouldn’t be happening!
These prices are outrageous! Yes, our ministers need to travel sometimes, I have no problem with that, but next time Ewart Brown feels the need to stay in a 7 Star Hotel, I’d like him to explain that to our country’s homeless first. I would be a lot more sympathetic on this particular expenditure, had Mr. Brown held some sort of conference with our Hoteliers on some of the business practices he was supposed to be observing in the process. To date, I have not heard about this happening, except for a brief talk to the House of Assembly.
Update: Limey In Bermuda has a hillarious satire on this one!
