A dispute has erupted between the Government and the Port-of-Spain City Corporation over whether the capital city has sufficient funding to pay hundreds of municipal workers.
This, after Rural Development and Local Government Minister Khadijah Ameen yesterday dismissed claims that the corporation lacks the money to pay salaries, insisting the Government has already released the necessary funds and accusing the corporation of “playing petty politics” with workers.
Speaking with Guardian Media, Ameen said she was shocked after seeing a memo circulated by the corporation’s chief executive officer to the union representing monthly-paid employees, warning that salaries could not be paid.
