OPPOSITION Senator Faris Al-Rawi has slammed Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's claims the PNM used Cepep to turn TT into a nation of grass cutters.

He also questioned statements by Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath, Cepep's line minister, that an audit into the programme could take six months.

At a budget consultation in her Siparia constituency on July 29, she said, "I am very much against the whole structuring of Cepep, the URP and the (National) Reafforestation (programme)."
