Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) have taken aim at the government’s proposed 2018 budget over what they say is an absence of measures to help society’s most vulnerable.
“There is nothing in the budget for women, youth, children, the elderly, Amerindian and the disabled…there is nothing there that refers to the most vulnerable,” PPP/C Chief Whip Gail Teixeira told a press conference on Wednesday.
She was accompanied by fellow MPs Clement Rohee, Vindhya Persaud, Juan Edghill and Pauline Sukhai.
