Business executive, Senator Chris DeAllie, wants Grenadians to change their attitude to work, saying government is spending too much on social support programmes.
Senator DeAllie warns that Grenada is headed down a disastrous road with spending on social programmes at more than $25 million.
“It is amazing the amount of money we spend in social programmes for such a small nation of people that has approximately 47,000 working and paying taxes,’’ said DeAllie. “If we say 12,000 of them are out of work, it means that 35,000 people are supporting social-cost programmes of upwards of $25 million.’’
The Senator said the situation suggests “something with our people and what we are doing.’’
For one thing, claimed DeAllie, “our people are not understanding that if we do not work and we do not change our attitude to work and productivity, we are on a road for disaster – total road for disaster.’’
DeAllie confessed that he is indeed bothered by “the kind of monies that are spent’’ on social support programmes.
