The Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) has re­ject­ed al­le­ga­tions sur­round­ing the fi­nanc­ing of its Bal­isi­er House head­quar­ters, ac­cus­ing the Gov­ern­ment of us­ing State re­sources to pur­sue po­lit­i­cal op­po­nents in­stead of ad­dress­ing is­sues such as crime, the econ­o­my, un­em­ploy­ment, health­care and ed­u­ca­tion.

The PNM said it has as­sem­bled a le­gal team to ex­am­ine the de­vel­op­ments and will pur­sue all avail­able le­gal reme­dies to pro­tect the par­ty and those af­fect­ed.

In a state­ment on Sat­ur­day, the Op­po­si­tion par­ty said it had not re­ceived any of­fi­cial cor­re­spon­dence or been served with any High Court or­der in re­la­tion to re­ports that the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) had ob­tained ju­di­cial ap­proval to in­ves­ti­gate the fi­nanc­ing of the re­de­vel­op­ment of Bal­isi­er House and the par­ty's fundrais­ing ac­tiv­i­ties.
