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.”
