A release issued by Mr. Fleming’s Public Relations Office, on Tuesday this week, stated:
“The importation of foreign labour in the construction sector has been due to time and constraints, but there is work requiring other skilled needs and expertise that Anguillians overseas can come home and fill. We cannot allow ourselves to be outnumbered as stakeholders and shareholders in Anguilla’s development and future. Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers, Contractors, other skilled persons and professionals of Anguillian parentage, are urged to seriously consider returning to Anguilla and supporting Anguilla’s success.”
The release reiterated the Chief Minister’s position that “the Government pursued development not as an end to itself, but a means towards sustainability of the real wealth the nation – namely, its people.”
The release added: “Mr. Fleming said that the primary goal was to create development that would enable an environment for the people [of Anguilla] to enjoy healthier and more productive lives. Now that this is being achieved, Mr. Fleming wishes to highlight the importance of returning to Anguilla.”
