NDP Gov’t got over $50M in loans to fix roads in VI– Hon Kye M. Rymer
Hon Rymer was at the time addressing the House at the July 4, 2024, continuation of the Thirteenth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA).
“Them being in there, they get loans…. Madam Speaker, over nearly $50 million in loans and look at the road infrastructure today, but we [are] getting the blame...” Hon Rymer said adding that roads when done properly, would last at-least 25 years.
Roads & Airport expansion must be done concurrently - Hon Rymer
He said the comments come even as the VI talks about expanding the local airport where conversations on the road works would surface, however, according to the Minister both have to be done concurrently.
“I thank my wife for rubbing my head when I go home because sometimes the pressure of what we’re going through… but God is good and I am confident that these things will be addressed,” he added.
Hon Rymer said people no longer want to hear excuses about the hurricanes, COVID-19 pandemic, or the CoI reforms, even as the VI continues to grapple with implementing reforms.
The works minister said he is awaiting the monies to get the projects done and assured that once funding is available, the road infrastructure will be fixed.
Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) has said he is looking for $100M in loans for infrastructural works.

The grammar, the sentence structure, the tense. Is this how we do it? A perfect example for our younger people who will be on a professional podium someday thinking "aint nothing wrong with how I speak. The ministers duh do it"
And the winner attitude of this administration **drumroll** It'ain't our fault, it was them (ndeepee)
Moreover, concrete ( fix pavement) cost more to construct but less to maintain. Asphalt cost less to construct but more to maintain. Typically, it comes down to economics.

The “shortage of affordable housing” is not so much an overall shortage, but a shortage of low-cost housing.
In the early 1980s, 40% of new homes were “entry-level” homes (i.e., homes of less than 1,400 square feet)
If our government could help one person get off or stop using drugs, help them find employment, even if it is being self employed selling sodas, chicken n chips or jerking chicken, help them restore and regain some dignity in there lives and give them some degree of hope to be in a more productive stable person in a more stable inviornment and make there lives better, get there own home and transpertation that they can afford, we would have one less person in our community and our society to worry about commiting crimes, other civil offenses and going astray
Ultimately regaining the type of harmonious friendly Island and community that our parents grew up in, where we were once considered a place of friendly people with petty, little or no crime
This is something our government should really sit down and think about when it comes to our local resident rehabilitation process for persons with addictions to qualify for free alchol and drug addiction recovery programs, with entraprenueral self employment opportunities and funding options from our Cayman Islands Development Bank, Free required Regular Drug Testing and Free Clinical Family, Personal and Professional Counciling and Coaching from the Health Service Authority in order to qualify for Free Government Resources assistance available, to help them own and operated there own small business of selling things like Arts & Crafts to Visitors from there own small business established with the assistance of the Small Business Development Center; owning there own lower costing or more affordable home in a multi-store apartment or condo complex situated on multiple floors for persons earning less than $2,000 or $3,000 a month to be able to afford

An equilbrium or a balance need to be discussed, reached and achived to provide comfortably housing accomodatioms and transpertation for the following classes in our community:
• The Lower Class
• The Middle Class
• The Wealthy
We cannot expect to pay a Mimnimum Wage to our people just because businesses are strugling financially and not expect to provide proper and affordable basic necesseties like housing, transpertation, food, utilities and child care
A balance have got to be reached that is inclusive of all three varing classes in our society
