Former local government minister Faris Al-Rawi on Wednesday claimed that 5,000 Unemployment Relief Programme (URP) workers will soon be facing the axe.
Speaking at a press conference at the Office of the Opposition, Port of Spain on Wednesday, Al-Rawi maintained that the Government has been callous towards CEPEP workers.
He said URP workers may soon face the same fate, and criticised the media for its lack of scrutiny of the plight of former CEPEP employees.
