Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

MEDIA RELEASE: INACCURATE AND MISCHIEVOUS CLAIMS BY THE MP FOR OROPOUCHE WEST ON THE INCREASE OF THE RETIREMENT AGE FROM 60 TO 65 YEARS

The Minister in the Ministry of Finance, Honourable Brian Manning M.P., has taken note of inaccurate and mischievous statements made by the MP for Oropouche West via an article in today’s Trinidad Express headlined “Tancoo: Unwise to raise retirement age.”
The Opposition MP suggests that the Government is responsible for the recommended increase
in the retirement age from 60 to 65 years. This is far from the truth.
