(1)In light of the fact that, on 15 December 2023, his department’s offices in Acacia Park closed and extensive work commenced on a beautification programme for the entrance of the Acacia Park Parliamentary Village immediately after the offices closed, what are the reasons that (a) the staff at his department’s office in Acacia Park were not made aware of the project prior to their departure and (b) an independent contractor has been contracted to undertake this project;
(2) whether his department is paying for the beautification project; if not, who is paying for the project; if so, what are the details of the (a) total cost involved in the project and (b) programme from which the funds are being sourced or appropriated;
(3) whether he has found that this is fiscal dumping as so little has been spent on the beautification of the Village itself; if not, what is the position in each case; if so, what are the relevant details?
