PORT OF SPAIN Mayor Chinua Alleyne has doubled down on claims of a “fiscal crisis” affecting regional corporations, stating yesterday the Port of Spain City Corporation would be unable to pay salaries after May 2026.

Alleyne has called on the Government to urgently address the matter, warning of an impending disruption to the delivery of services if public servants attached to regional corporations are unable to work due to non-payment of salaries.

Speaking on TV6’s Morning Edition programme yesterday, Alleyne repeated concerns he raised at the weekend: that regional corporations around T&T have been unable to access funding to deliver services, including garbage collection and the maintenance of infrastructure, in their constituencies.
