SOME $3.7 million was spent on food for 178 people detained during the State of emergency (SoE), Defence Minister Wayne Sturge has said.

The Parliament’s Standing Finance Committee (SFC) yesterday examined the $13.9 million in supplementary allocations for the Ministry of National Security.

On December 30, 2024, the former government led by then-prime minister Dr Keith Rowley declared a state of emergency, which was extended to mid-April 2025.
