Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les wants the Gov­ern­ment to bring the ev­i­dence to show that White­hall is un­fit for use.

Fol­low­ing her ap­point­ment at Pres­i­dent’s House yes­ter­day, Beck­les said she was “fas­ci­nat­ed” to know what made the his­toric build­ing so un­fit that Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar opt­ed to work from home.

On Mon­day, fol­low­ing a meet­ing at White­hall and a tour of the premis­es, Pub­lic Util­i­ties Min­is­ter and Min­is­ter in the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter, Bar­ry Padarath, con­tend­ed that the build­ing was dys­func­tion­al due to in­fra­struc­tur­al con­cerns.
