(Trinidad Express) THE approval of all new Government contracts is to cease with immediate effect, Finance Minister Colm Imbert has said.
This instruction is being blamed for dozens of employees at the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands and Fisheries being sent home and not having their employment contracts renewed, the Express has learned.
However, Imbert said yesterday his directive pertained to new contracts and that the renewal of contracts, including those for employment, would depend on the approval of the line minister.
