First Vice President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Ryan Walters is demanding that the Mia Mottley-led administration provides answers on what portion of its more than $2 billion stimulus package was still outstanding and why.
Walters said it appeared Government had “aborted” its plan to resuscitate the economy.
“The Government promised economic stimulus in excess of $2 billion dollars, an amount similar to what was promised on April 29,” Walters recalled.
In April last year, Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced an unprecedented two-year $2 billion recovery plan, in an apparent response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which started affecting the island in March.
