Kirk Waithe, Head of Fixin T&T

Kirk Waithe, Head of the Non governmental Organization, Fixin T&T- is once again being vocal on the issue of political party campaign finance.

This morning however, the group is disturbed by Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar’s announcement that government may have to revise the budget for a second time, with crude oil now trading at $57.81 per barrel. The Prime Minister also announced that withdrawals from the heritage and Stabalization Fund may be necessary.

In a statement on the heels of the Prime Minister’s statements, Waithe says Mrs. Persad Bissessar’s obscene spending on political campaigning via the ‘Voices…Your Government Working For You’ advertising blitz, ‘gifts’ to NGOs, Churches and ‘give-aways’ at every turn continues, despite this development.
