The for­mer min­is­ter of the now de­funct Min­istry of Youth De­vel­op­ment and Na­tion­al Ser­vice (MYDNS) is hit­ting back at the pletho­ra of al­le­ga­tions of fi­nan­cial wastage, favouritism and cor­rup­tion made against him by Sports and Youth Af­fairs Min­is­ter Phillip Watts.

In ve­he­ment­ly deny­ing all claims yes­ter­day, Fos­ter Cum­mings in turn ac­cused Watts and the Gov­ern­ment of at­tempt­ing to cre­ate a smoke­screen to mask their plan to scrap the youth pro­grammes start­ed by his for­mer min­istry.
