Port-of-Spain May­or, Chin­ua Al­leyne, said June salaries for cor­po­ra­tion work­ers will de­pend on Fi­nance Min­is­ter, Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo’s Mid-Year Bud­get Re­view on June 15.

In an in­ter­view with the Sun­day Guardian yes­ter­day, Al­leyne con­firmed that the cor­po­ra­tion com­plete­ly ex­haust­ed its avail­able fund­ing for staff salaries at the end of May. The sit­u­a­tion leaves the cap­i­tal city’s work­force in lim­bo as the fis­cal year pro­gress­es.

“The end of the month of May was the last month that we were able to ful­ly meet our oblig­a­tion,” Al­leyne stat­ed. “That is to say that for June, we do not present­ly have enough al­lo­ca­tion to pay all pub­lic ser­vants. And there­fore, we have no al­lo­ca­tion avail­able to pay pub­lic ser­vants for Ju­ly, Au­gust, or Sep­tem­ber.”
