Davis: Govt made wrong decision to increase travel budget

Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis said yesterday that the government made the wrong decision to increase its travel budget by $4 million in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. “It’s a wrong decision at the wrong time when this country is facing a kind of financial gloom and crisis to be able to increase the budget by $4 million for travel,” Davis said. He added, “First of all, why is this necessary to increase your travel budget? “And secondly, I would’ve said that they be true to their campaign rhetoric that these travels should be accounted for. “They have yet to make public any of the travel expenses that they have incurred to date despite the calls for it. I don’t know whether this is a guise to increase allowances to ministers.” Davis said government travel in the wake of Dorian — the strongest storm on record to hit The Bahamas – cannot be worthy of a $4 million increase.
