PNM Senator: TTRA repeal fuelled by 'need to score political points'

OPPOSITION Senator Melanie Roberts-Radgman says the decision to repeal the Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority (TTRA) Act is fuelled by the need to “score cheap political points.”

Delivering her maiden contribution in the Senate on June 27, she defended the PNM administration’s decision to establish the TTRA saying it was no “fly-by-night” decision.

Pointing to the earlier contribution by former finance minister Vishnu Dhanpaul, she added, “We are guided by data, research, case studies and reliable projections.”
