Former minister of rural development and local government Faris Al-Rawi has added his voice to mounting concerns over funding shortfalls across corporations, calling on current minister Khadijah Ameen to “wake up.”
Speaking with reporters outside Parliament yesterday, Al-Rawi criticised the Government’s handling of local government finances, accusing the administration of underfunding corporations and allowing infrastructure and services to deteriorate.
“What I can tell you about local government is the savagery that’s going on in San Fernando and Tunapuna,” he said. “The foolishness that Khadijah Ameen is speaking about, ‘stop partying’, what rubbish are we talking about?”
