On January 5, 2013, this newspaper printed a letter from Mr Ruel Johnson in which it was alleged that a work authored by the thirteen-year-old daughter of Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr Frank Anthony, and published by the Caribbean Press which falls under his ministry, had been paid for by taxpayer dollars. In our edition yesterday we reported Minister Anthony’s response in which he said that he used his own resources to have the book published.
We apologize for any embarrassment that Minister Anthony may have been caused by the suggestion that the costs in relation to the publication of Ms Anthony’s book had been borne by Caribbean Press.
