The Private Sector will not rest until there is closure to the widespread looting post Hurricane Maria

The Private Sector will not rest until there is closure to the widespread looting which occurred post Hurricane Maria. That’s according to Savarin McKenzie, President of the Dominica Business Forum (DBF).
 
Addressing a symposium on housing and construction on Wednesday 24thn January 2018, McKenzie made another call for a public inquiry into the matter. He said, “As a private sector organization, the DBF will continue to remind the authorities and the population that the treatment meted out to the private sector enterprises in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, by way of the looting and vandalism, will not disappear until there is closure, which gives confidence and comfort for private investors who wish to invest in Dominica”.
The looting was described as the ‘human hurricane’ by the Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC), which said the private had suffered a major blow, and will take some time to rebound.
 
McKenzie said the private sector’s request is simple. “There is a need for a public inquiry to find out the failures in the security apparatus, which allowed Dominicans to turn on the private sector with such brutality. When a foreign or local investor makes a conscious decision to invest in Dominica, the enabling environment must be created, to ensure that small or large” investments succeed, & are profitable.
