Se­nior Po­lit­i­cal Re­porter

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has warned that no mat­ter what is said in to­day’s Bud­get, some cit­i­zens who have a poor work eth­ic, dis­hon­est be­hav­iour, bad habits and neg­a­tive at­ti­tudes will con­tin­ue to strug­gle.

In a so­cial me­dia post yes­ter­day, ahead of her Gov­ern­ment’s 2027 Bud­get pre­sen­ta­tion, Per­sad-Bisses­sar slammed cit­i­zens who have tak­en tem­po­rary wel­fare pro­grammes, state con­tracts, gov­ern­ment as­sis­tance and em­ploy­ment in gov­ern­ment agen­cies and turned them in­to per­ma­nent schemes for “dis­hon­est­ly gen­er­at­ing per­son­al in­come.”
