Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says while money can never bring back the lives lost in the Paria diving tragedy four years ago, the $1 million ex-gratia payouts will help support the families of the deceased divers and the lone survivor.
The Prime Minister yesterday presented ex-gratia payouts of $1 million each to Christopher Boodram, the sole survivor; Vanessa Kussie, widow of Rishi Nagassar; and Salisha Kurban, wife of Fyzal Kurban.
