Trinidad and Tobago Currency

It was last week that the Chief Secretary, Orville London called on the Minister of Finance, Larry Howai to release the $100 million fund that was approved to complete the new Scarborough General Hospital. 

A news release also indicated that London London as well as Finance and Enterprise Development Secretary Dr Anselm London and Secretary of Health and Social Services Claudia Groome-Duke made futile attempts to get the money released.

However, the Minister of Finance have indicated that a  $75 million payment was made on July 5, with the remaining $25 million to be paid  today.

When contacted yesterday, The Minister of Health remained critical of the THA's lack of knowledge of the payments, indicating that this is a cause for concern. He further stated, that London needs to go back and look at the THA books in light that the Minister of Finance have confirmed payments. 

Tobagojustice awaits a response from the Chief Secretary-Orville London in light of the new information brought to the public on this issue  of non payment. 

New Regulations, welcomed?

Dr. Tewarie, Minister of Planning and the Economy, announced that most of the country's construction approvals would go to that of Local Government. Is there any impact for the Tobago House of Assembly? Indeed, this is by no means a lamentable plan and as such a much welcomed move in the right direction. I await to witnessed how this all unfolds.
