A freedom of information request has been made for financial records concerning motor vehicle tax exemptions, state-funded housing, and medical expenses granted to several high-profile members of the former People’s National Movement (PNM) administration.
Attorney Richard Jaggasar submitted the request on May 12 on behalf of social activist and television host Nazim Ishmael.
The request comes just days after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced planned reforms and cost-cutting measures, including a cap on vehicle tax exemptions for government officials and state housing.
