LIVING LARGE? $21m in travel over four years

Monday, August 1, 2005

With a roll of pricy New York hotels, thousands of U.S. dollars in entertainment money, fuel costs for travelling on a private aircraft, personal butlers, assistants and advisers, Jamaican Prime Minister P.J. Patterson has managed to rack up a bill of more than $21 million in expenditure on overseas travel in the last four years.
And reports say that figure doesn't include the cost attached to his travelling delegation.Access to Information officers who searched for the records revealed in this story, pointed out that there were some records which could not be found.
A local newspaper reported that while Jamaica continues to struggle under a heavy debt burden and cutting corners to meet its national budget, in November of 2002, the Prime Minister forked out 1500 US dollars a night plus gratuity and tax for five nights in a New York hotel. He was on an official visit there. This totalled over 8000 dollars for the 5 nights.
The Prime Minister's travel is paid by the public purse.

while we can find food to eat he is waisting the jamaica's money. this is wrong we are the ones who have to be paying high tax prices while he is living it up those more than likely weren't even business trips.

LIVING LARGE? $21m in travel over four years
We are all talking bad about the prime minister but the fact remains that it is easier for us who is not in the situation to talk about it. He was elected for a reason and as some-one stated earlier in the conversation he is the longest serving prime minister. I know that if the shoe was turn and we were in his position that we would have probably done the same thing. Think about this

You Reap what you sew
The People in Jamaica shouldn't complain about P.J. Paterson, because he was re-elected by them. He is the longest serving Prime Minister in Jamaica's history & will go down as the Worst. I was disgusted to read of his expenses knowing that Jamaica is in the state its in, I went home last year and was shocked to see conditions the roads were in, the people has no jobs and people are being robbed and killed for Cell phones.. but as i have heard it stated by my fellow jamaicans " A black Man time now"..
