Minister within the Ministry of Social Protection, Keith Scott came under fire last evening for his inability to answer several questions posed by members of the Opposition regarding a $24M allocation for an “Umbrella body,”- the Guyana National Cooperative Union Limited (GNCUL).
Scott, who holds responsibility for labour, was asked to justify the allocation made to the Co-op as well as to give the criteria that were used to facilitate such an allocation, particularly since no previous allocations were made in the 2015 or 2016 National Budget.
