PNM accuses Govt of preparing ‘budget of lies’

Se­nior Po­lit­i­cal Re­porter

The Op­po­si­tion is ac­cus­ing the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) Gov­ern­ment of prepar­ing to de­liv­er an­oth­er Bud­get filled with lies and un­ful­filled promis­es, with its se­nior mem­bers warn­ing that to­day’s pre­sen­ta­tion will be an ex­er­cise in de­cep­tion rather than an hon­est ac­count of the coun­try’s eco­nom­ic cir­cum­stances.

Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les ex­pects the Gov­ern­ment to en­gage in a mas­sive at­tempt to de­ceive the pub­lic, while for­mer en­er­gy min­is­ter Stu­art Young has dis­missed the Prime Min­is­ter’s pre-Bud­get pro­jec­tion of a “bright fu­ture” as hog­wash and lies.
