PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, May 24 2017 – Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley has requested a full report from the Minister of Sports Darryl Smith, on a recently concluded trip to Tobago.
The trip that was made by the Minister, officials from the Ministry of Sport and the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago, has been the source of controversy following reports that a bill of TT$92,000 bill was racked up during the visit.
It’s reported that a 12-member team from the Ministry and Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago stayed at the Magdalena Grand Beach Resort when they went to attend the Tobago House of Assembly’s Sports Award held on May 20.
Smith is the second member of the Trinidad and Tobago Cabinet to rack up a massive bill in recent weeks.
Tourism Minister Shamfa Cudjoe recently confirmed a four-day $59,000 phone bill.
Details of the astonishing phone bill was disclosed in the Senate by temporary Senator Christlyn Moore, during debate on the mid-term budget review.
Moore said the bill, which covers calls for the period January 29 to February 3 of this year, did not reconcile with Government’s request for the country to cut costs and save given the state of the economy.
