MEDIA RELEASE: WILD AND MISLEADING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE OPPOSITION ABOUT THE USE OF WITHDRAWALS FROM THE HERITAGE AND STABILISATION FUND

The Minister of Finance, Honourable Colm Imbert M.P. has noted a number of wild, misleading and inaccurate allegations made by Members of the Opposition UNC regarding the utilisation of withdrawals from the Heritage and Stabilization Fund (HSF) during the last year.
The Opposition has claimed that the money withdrawn from the Fund was used to pay contractors and suppliers of goods and services in 2020, rather than for Covid-19 relief and vaccines.
However, this claim is utter nonsense and needs to be corrected and debunked.
