Georgetown : Minister of the State Joseph Harmon has stated emphatically that no public money was used to finance a recent trip to the United States by Government officials for a victory rally.
The minister along with Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman, Minister of Tourism Kathy Hughes and other officials travelled to Brooklyn, New York to participate in an A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) victory rally which was held on June 14.
Minister Harmon said, "Let me be very categorical about this, the visit of ministers, Raphael Trotman, Kathy Hughes and myself and the other officials were paid for by the organisers of the event, lock stock and barrel, that is to say, airline tickets, hotel accommodation, and transportation on the ground."
He added, "Not a cent from the public purse was spent on that visit."
