Governor of the Central Bank Dr The Most Honourable Kevin Greenidge is facing mounting public criticism over his refusal to disclose how much the BiMPay digital payment app cost to develop.

Cybersecurity specialist Niel Harper and former Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Member of Parliament Donville Inniss led the pushback yesterday, accusing the Governor of arrogance and disputing his claim that the Central Bank does not use public funds.

Writing on LinkedIn, Harper, who is based in Germany, said the suggestion that the public had no right to know the cost amounted to “arrogance at its highest”.
