Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has declared that after the disbursement of the earmarked $15 million to landowners in the Wesley area, the government's outstanding debt is anticipated to fall below $15 million. The disbursement is contingent upon the government's financial standing. In response to concerns regarding the country's fiscal health, Skerrit underscored the ongoing construction of the largest infrastructure project in the nation's history as proof of economic resilience.

He highlighted the necessity of these funds for critical infrastructure development, emphasizing their contribution to the overall progress of the nation despite the impact on debt reduction.
