OPPOSITION Leader Pennelope Beckles has slammed government for what she described as budget date mismanagement, after it announced October 13 as budget day.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Finance on October 7 said the 2025/2026 budget will be presented in the House of Representatives on October 13 at 1.30 pm. In a subsequent Facebook later in the day, Beckles called on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to explain the mismanagement of the budget date.
She repeated a warning she made in a statement on October 6 that the public service will be forced to cease operations from November 1
