Alliance For Change (AFC) spokesperson on Finance Juretha Fernandes has slammed the government for mismanaging the Amerindian Development Fund, stating that several hinterland communities are yet to witness advancement as promised by the Irfaan Ali regime.
Fernandes, also a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), told the press on Friday at her party’s press briefing that this was flagged in the 2022 Auditor General’s Report which was tabled on December 11th, 2023 during the 69th Sitting of the National Assembly.
She told reporters that the AG’s Report exposed the incompetence of the ruling People’s Progressive Party as regards sums budgeted in the 2022 under the Amerindian Development Fund.
