Prime Minister Stuart Young yesterday defended Government’s $1 million ex-gratia payment to each of the victims of the Paria Fuel diving tragedy, in the face of condemnation from other political parties.
He also clarified who truly tied Government’s hands and prevented the victims’ loved ones from receiving any compensation sooner.
