RURAL Development and Local Government Minister Khadijah Ameen said some radio talk show hosts were paid under the Unemployment Relief Programme (URP) and never reported to work during the PNM tenure.

“Not once,” she said as she responded to a question from Laventille West MP Kareem Marcelle in the House of Representatives yesterday.

She said there were also relatives of members of the Opposition listed under the programme but who never reported to work.
