The Democratic Labour Party (DLP) is warning the Mia Amor Mottley administration that selling the vast acres of arable land of collapsed insurance company CLICO will put the agricultural sector at risk.

Yesterday during a press conference at the DLP’s George Street Auditorium, spokesperson on agriculture, former senator Andre Worrell, slammed Government’s plan to sell the CLICO assets.
