Georgetown- In what appears to be a clear case of blame sharing, the Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni SIngh is at odds with APNU leader David Granger for statements made about delay tactics in the holding of meetings to discuss the national budget. In a recent report Granger said that the passage of the National Budget looked grim as one month after a commitment for budget talks was made by government; it is yet to be honoured. This the Finance Minister said is misinformation since the parliamentary opposition were invited to a meeting on March 7 to discuss the budget but both parties APNU and AFC requested a shift in the dates.
A release by the Government Information Agency (GINA) said that “the fact of the matter is that a postponement to the meeting was requested on Greenidge’s behalf, and Greenidge is still to respond to the minister’s proposal of a revised date.” Government however noted that it may have no choice but to proceed with the other opposition representatives if Greenidge continues to be unavailable.
