Turks and Caicos, March 31, 2017 – Providenciales – It is 100 days of the new PDM Administration and the government is quiet about what has or has not been accomplished in this often telling, just over, first three months in office. Key for the PDM when it addressed media on priorities was crime, national fiscal health, youth engagement, a national tourism plan, infrastructural enhancements and getting to the problems with health care.
While there is evidence that the new administration has been under pressure to get a new budget restarted and completed, to spend budget monies before the end of the fiscal year and working with a UK assessment team and the Opposition to crack down on crime; it is unclear whether or not the PDM accomplished as many of the 100 day goals as they would have liked.
While the silence from the government’s side is deafening, the lamenting from the Opposition side is loud and clear. Appointed member and PNP National Chairman Royal Robinson says the more things change, the more they stay the same. In a succinct statement, Hon Robinson runs a list of the five top bills not passed by the PDM in the first 100 days.
Service Charge bill, Immigration Repeal and replace bill; Pensions and gratuities amendment bill, Youth Empowerment bill and Freedom of Information bill. Robinson also sent a more detailed media release, it is posted at Magnetic Media TV dot com.
