To­ba­go Cor­re­spon­dent

Mi­nor­i­ty Leader Kelvon Mor­ris says the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly is spend­ing mil­lions on over­seas trips while lo­cal busi­ness­es, work­ers, and even Gov­ern­ment of­fices can’t get paid or sup­plied with ba­sics like toi­let pa­per.

“At my last count last year, it was about $20 mil­lion. The THA re­spond­ed and said it was $12 mil­lion. But what we are count­ing and in­clud­ing is not sim­ply the cost of the per­son­nel—per diem, ho­tel, et cetera—we are al­so in­clud­ing all trav­el-re­lat­ed ex­pens­es,” Mor­ris said at a me­dia con­fer­ence yes­ter­day.
