T&T’s Minister of Planning and Development, Pennelope Beckles, has called for the governance framework of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) to be augmented to ensure that it remains a trusted development partner.
She was addressing the 54th annual meeting of the CDB last week, in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
Her statement on the CDB’s governance framework comes amidst the issues that resulted from the sending on administrative leave in January 2024 of the CDB’s president Hyginus “Gene” Leon and his resignation in April.
