Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo says salaries and back pay to public servants were made on time.
His announcement came in a WhatsApp status on December 19, which read: "Still think media is unbiased? Salaries and back pay on time as promised and not a media house beep."
Newsday reached out to Tancoo on December 16, asking whether everything was in place to make the payments as planned and how much of the $3.8 billion in back pay owed to PSA-represented public servants would be made this month. The finance minister did not respond.
