Lies causing granny and grandpa to blame us for shortage in funds

Premier Andrew Fahie has continued to hit out at the parliamentary Opposition for its alleged falsehoods and innuendo committed against him and his government.

In a recent House of Assembly sitting, Premier Fahie argued that even the elderly were being deceived in the Opposition’s quest for political power.

Premier Fahie, who also serves as the territory’s Finance Minister, accused the Opposition of saying negative things about him which he had been hearing on ‘the street’. One such thing is that his government is allegedly misappropriating funds.

“They (the political Opposition) have their monies for their district allocation that they were putting aside to give to the seniors and rather than telling the seniors that they spent the money on something else and they couldn’t give them their monthly allocation, they told them that the Minister of Finance cut their money and went with the money,“ Premier Fahie alleged.

The Premier said the seniors were then left without their usual money to buy their medication and he was blamed for the problem.

According to the Premier, district allocations were never cut for any of the Opposition members while the territory was experiencing COVID-19 related challenges.
