Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday continued his scathing attack on the 2017 budget and said Wednesday’s revelations in parliament about the controversial D’Urban park project were scandalous and the facility could end up with a $1.2b price tag.
He told the media yesterday at Parliament that a budget is about policies and their impact on people and the country… Not a collection of numbers or this speech that anybody could read.”
He said too that Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan never sat in a room where policy was discussed. He said too that the minister did not respond to concerns that were raised about the budget.
