THE ISLAND’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY INDEPENDENCE activities are “securely within” budget.
So said Prime Minister Freundel Stuart as he hosted a media conference yesterday at his official residence Ilaro Court to detail a number of events, over the next 42 days.
Flanked by the chairman of the 50th Anniversary of Independence Celebrations Secretariat, Senator Maxine McClean, and the deputy, Senator Esther Byer Suckoo, and surrounded by the heads of a number of key departments, Stuart said it was not possible “to give a breakdown of the funds”.
“What I can say is up to now the 50th anniversary celebrations are securely within budget,” he said. (HLE)
