OPPOSITION Leader Pennelope Beckles has blasted government’s decision to raise the cost of registering births and deaths, effective January 1, describing it as “reckless, desperate, and insulting.”
She suggested the fee hikes contradicted some of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s general election campaign pledges.
Speaking to Newsday recently, Beckles said, “One must ask the prime minister, where is the baby grant she once promised? This is a government that has chosen to attack citizens.”
