Prime Minister Stuart Young says any additional claims for legitimate compensation by fisherfolk affected during the construction of the $34 million San Fernando Fishing Centre will be looked at responsibly.
At the handing over ceremony for the fishing centre at Kings Wharf yesterday, Young was asked about protests by fisherfolk in January for additional compensation after the project failed to be completed within the promised deadline.
He said, “With respect to compensation again, the Government will look at those things responsibly. Compensation is not something unlike others, you just going throw out money at the population that is not going to happen. So, I am certain that the persons who are in charge of the project, if there are legitimate claims for compensation it would be looked at in a responsible manner.”
