Frustration is mounting across regional corporations, as the issue of backpay for councillors and aldermen remains unsettled, with less than half of the country’s 14 corporations reportedly paid to date.
According to reports, only seven corporations have received funds so far: Point Fortin; Siparia; Princes Town; Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo; Diego Martin; Tunapuna/Piarco and Penal/Debe.
Sangre Grande Regional Corporation chairman Kenwyn Phillip yesterday confirmed that his council was yet to be paid.
