More than $500,000 earmarked for Tunapuna Week celebrations has prompted a boycott by United National Congress (UNC) councillors and aldermen, who accuse the People’s National Movement (PNM)-led Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation of neglecting development projects and basic municipal services in several communities.
The boycott was announced by minority leader Prakash Barath, who said UNC representatives would not participate in any of the week’s activities, including the Civic Awards ceremony.
