Click to view full size

Public servants who are in “cahoots” with contractors in corrupt practices are being investigated and the police and Fraud Squad will be called in where there is evidence of wrongdoing, Rural Development and Local Government Minister Khadijah Ameen has said.

Ameen’s comment came in response to questions from reporters at Mosquito Creek, South Oropouche, yesterday, about unregulated development and the blockage of waterways.

She said people do what they can get away with, and this has been done for years.
