Minister of Social Development and Family Services Donna Cox says new facilities are being put in place for locals who live abroad and benefit from pension payments from this country.
Speaking during a tour of the ministry's new head office on Tragarete Road, Port-of-Spain on Wednesday, Cox said she was unfazed by speculation that the tour was politically motivated due to the upcoming General Election.
"At the end of the day, it’s taxpayers' money, and we want to ensure we get value for it," she said. "So far, the project is progressing well. We are very pleased. It’s important to tour and assess our progress, as well as reassure the public and our staff that we are looking out for them. This building will serve them.
