DECLARING her government’s intention to give Tobago more control over its financial affairs, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on November 4 presented THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine with an export licence for the Studley Park Enterprises Ltd to market the island’s aggregate regionally and provide opportunities to generate some much-needed foreign exchange.

She made the presentation while addressing members of the THA during a special sitting of the Assembly Legislature in Scarborough.

Several members of her Cabinet attended the sitting, which marked Persad-Bissessar’s first official visit to Tobago since the UNC-led coalition won the April 28 general election.
