Prime Minister Dr. Hon. Terrance Drew continues to make headlines with his unprecedented frequency of overseas travel and engagements. In the past week alone, he journeyed to Guyana for the RSS Regional Security Services meeting and then to Grenada for the opening of a Six Senses hotel. Despite mounting criticism regarding the cabinet’s frequent travels, the Prime Minister and his colleagues show no signs of slowing down, reportedly spending an average of 15 days off-island every month at a cost of US$400 per diem.

Critics question the necessity of such trips, particularly the recent journey to Grenada merely to attend a hotel opening. In response, PM Drew took to social media, expressing his happiness at attending the event and highlighting the economic benefits the hotel brings to Grenada, including job opportunities and a boost to the local economy.

While PM Drew emphasizes the importance of regional cooperation and congratulates Grenada on its new venture, concerns remain about the allocation of resources and the justification for such frequent overseas engagements. As scrutiny intensifies, the Prime Minister and his government face growing pressure to justify their travel expenses and prioritize domestic concerns.
