UNC public relations officer Dr Kirk Meighoo says he “mistakenly” shared a flyer circulating on social media that claimed the budget will be presented on October 13.

Meighoo sent the flyer to a Newsday journalist via WhatApp on October 6, at around 7.20 pm.

The flyer, with a picture of Finance minister Davendranath Tancoo in the foreground and the Red House in the background, read “Monday October 13 at 1.30 pm. National Budget 2025/2026 presented by the honourable Davendranath Tancoo, Minister of Finance.”
