To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly Mi­nor­i­ty Leader Kelvon Mor­ris has called out THA Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine on the fact that the $32 mil­lion in sup­ple­men­tal fund­ing the is­land will re­ceive is much less than the THA re­ceived in pre­vi­ous years from the past Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment gov­ern­ment. Fur­ther­more, he says the $102 mil­lion loan which the Gov­ern­ment is fi­nal­is­ing from the De­vel­op­ment Bank of Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean (CAF) will on­ly sad­dle the THA with debt. “It’s no ‘gift’,” Mor­ris de­clared.
