MINORITY Leader Kelvon Morris says the Tobago House of Assembly’s (THA’s) attempt to curb expenditure in fiscal 2026, despite claims of receiving its 'biggest' allocation suggests that the budget was both misleading and deceptive.
In the $59 billion fiscal package presented by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo on October 13, Tobago received an allocation of $2.96 billion, which the assembly said, was the highest in Tobago’s history, representing five per cent of the national budget.
In addition, the Government also allocated a further $763 million to be spent by various ministries on Tobago.
