THA Minority Leader Kelvon Morris said Tobago's $2.96 billion fiscal package for 2025/2026 has been "seasoned with deceit, deception and in some respect, dishonesty.”

At a media conference on October 15 at the Magdalena Grand Beach and Golf Resort in Lowlands, Morris said "the devil is in the details” as he noted a decrease in the island's allocation for development when dissecting the budget.

At the House of Representatives on October 14, Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo announced that Tobago will be receiving five per cent of the national pie. The figure represents an increase from the 4.35 per cent the island received last fiscal year under the PNM government, which translated to $2.599 billion.
