DIVISIONS across the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) are being urged to constrain their expenditures for fiscal 2026.

This was the revelation made by THA Secretary of Finance, Trade, and Economy Petal Ann Roberts as she addressed members of the media following a post-budget retreat at the Mt Irvine Bay Hotel on October 29.

THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine chaired the two-day retreat, sharing that the retreat focused on the fiscal 2026 budget allocations and the assembly's five per cent share of the national budget. The retreat, he said, involved public servants, led by the Chief Administrator, and discussed last year's achievements and challenges, as well as future policies and actions.
