PNM To­ba­go po­lit­i­cal leader An­cil Den­nis says the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly has noth­ing to show for the mil­lions spent on for­eign trav­el in re­cent years ex­cept “self­ies and joyrides”, and he promised that a PNM ad­min­is­tra­tion would on­ly trav­el to se­cure re­al in­vest­ment for To­ba­go.

Ear­li­er this year, the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al’s 2024 re­port flagged $6.8 mil­lion in un­ver­i­fied over­seas trav­el ex­pens­es by the THA. Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine said in May that his ad­min­is­tra­tion spent $11 mil­lion on trav­el over the years, but Mi­nor­i­ty Leader Kelvon Mor­ris main­tains the fig­ure has al­ready crossed $20 mil­lion.

Speak­ing at a po­lit­i­cal meet­ing in Char­lottesville, Den­nis said To­ba­go must start ask­ing what came out of the trips.
