The Prime Minister is blaming “leaked info” for the confusion last evening over the budget date.

The Budget is now confirmed for October 13, not through any official government account or email, but via a social media post from the United National Congress’ Facebook page, which was later shared by the Finance Minister on his WhatsApp status.
