Minister in the Ministry of Finance Kennedy Swaratsingh is rubbishing claims made by former finance minister Colm Imbert that the unemployment rate has nearly doubled.
At a People’s National Movement (PNM) meeting on Thursday in Malabar, Imbert sounded alarm bells over what he described as a sharp rise in unemployment under the new United National Congress (UNC) administration, just three months after the PNM was voted out of office.
Imbert claimed that under the previous administration, of which he was a minister, the national unemployment rate stood at four per cent.
