Claims of racism during yesterday’s proceedings of the Standing Finance Committee forced House Chairman Jagdeo Singh to suspend the sitting, as tempers flared between government and opposition members.
The confrontation arose during deliberations on the Ministry of Housing’s budget allocations.
The uproar began after members of the opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) accused the Government of marginalising Port-of-Spain, alleging that allocations previously earmarked for East Port-of-Spain had been removed.
