Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

MEDIA RELEASE – POLITICAL MISCHIEF BY OPPOSTION MPs REGARDING THE CONDITIONS OF MULTILATERAL LOAN AGREEMENT

The Minister of Finance, the Honourable Colm Imbert M.P., has observed that within the last month, Opposition MPs have made a habit of spreading false, inaccurate, misleading, and deliberately scandalous information regarding the Government’s relationship with multilateral funding agencies, such as the World Bank, the IMF, CAF and the IDB.
A few weeks ago, the MP for Couva South, Rudranath Indarsingh, without a shred of evidence, made the false claim, based on a fake social media post circulated by opposition elements, that the World Bank had instructed the Government to retrench one third (33%) of public sector workers.
