PM SAYS HE HAS NO FRIEND GETTING $$ ON HIS ORDER

The Prime Minister says he does not have any friends who are collecting any money from the Government on his instructions "because authorities have the right to spend the government money with respect to their authority."

This was his response to questions from the Opposition in Parliament today about recent claims made by the Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly about contracts under a past THA administration.
