DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS!

You have the leader of the PNM who used $5 million worth of material from the Tobago hospital for his private project

You have a person who lose a $55 million case going up for chairman of the PNM

You have a lady who went on a shopping spree with a government credit card getting an ambassador post to Canada and now contesting the post of Lady Chairman of the PNM

And there’s no objection in the newspapers about that, but on the other hand you have a person who incidentally was hired by the PNM given a temporary post by the PPG and almost every day there is a story about that in the newspapers!!!

Camille apologises

Tuesday, May 22 2007

MINISTER of Planning, Camille Robinson-Regis left it rather late to explain payments for medical treatment and assorted purchases in New York City, using the Individual Travel Card facility issued to State officials on public business through the Ministry of Finance.

While the First Citizens Bank (FCB) Visa Gold Card allows credit up to US$10,000 for Government Ministers for foreign travel or local entertainment expenses, Robinson-Regis was found to have run up a hefty bill of $213,000!
