THE argument between the former and present administrations over the condition of the Prime Minister's official residence in St Ann's continues, with Minister in the Office of of the Prime Minister (OPM) Barry Padarath revealing it would take a $5 million investment to bring the compound up to standard.

While a Udecott representative confirmed work needs to be done, she said the residence is ''liveable."

In a live video from the residence posted on the parliamentary secretary in the OPM Nicholas Morris' Facebook page, Padarath attributed the price tag to a Udecott representative assigned to the office for several years, Wendy Rock.
