Minister of Finance Winston Jordan on Friday told the National Assembly that he was not responsible for accounting for funds spent on the rental of houses for government ministers.
“All emoluments of Ministers are handled by the Parliament Office. Their salary, allowances, even to the driver are handled by Parliament. The Honourable Member’s questions are ill directed to the Minister of Finance,” Jordan told the House in response to a series of questions directed to him by PPP/C member Anil Nandlall on “Expenditure on Rental of Ministers’ Residences.”
