Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says the director of audit and accounting officer has been asked to intervene in a matter involving the procurement of garbage bins for the Roseau City Council.

Just yesterday at a press conference, the Opposition United Workers Party called on Prime Minister Skerrit to speak out to the nation about the transactions involved in the purchase of the bins from overseas. They have referred to the situation as the "rubbish bin scandal."

President of the UWP and former Prime Minister Edison James sought the approval of some three quarter million dollars to pay for garbage bins from Logistical Supplies. James said documents suggest that monies were paid to Andre Dupwell in the amount of some $275, 909 for fertiliser two years ago. Dupwell is also associated with the purchase of the bins to Government.

PM Skerrit says he has written to the director of audit and accounting officer on the matter, and he is expecting a report.

“In my capacity as Minister of Finance and Prime Minister, I have in fact written to the director of audit and the accounting officer to provide that report to me as a matter of urgency, because there are questions to be raised and there are questions to be answered and that report I’m hoping would provide the accurate answers and deal with the facts of the matter as they are,” Skerrit said.

Rubbish bin scandal


Last updated: May 26, 2009 08:10:09 PM

Opposition Leader Ron Green and President Edison James

The United Workers Party (UWP) has called on Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit to speak out on a matter involving the acquiring of garbage bins for the Roseau City Council.

Members of the UWP are raising questions regarding the management arrangements and tendering process as it relates to the bins.

President of the UWP Edison James told a press conference this morning that Prime Minister Skerrit was asked repeatedly to expound on the arrangements at a recent sitting of parliament but failed to reply.

“Prime Minister Skerrit came to the Parliament and sought the approval of some three quarter million dollars to pay for garbage bins. Parliamentarians, myself and Norris Charles asked for further information and clarification. What was the tendering process if any had happened? What was the management arrangement for these bins? The prime minister sat silent…,” James said

He said the prime minister must speak to the nation about “this garbage bin scandal”.

According to James, documents suggest that monies were paid to Andre Dupwell, who James said was paid some $275, 909 for fertiliser two years ago
