Cordel Hyde
Following today’s budget consultation with the B.N.T.U., Deputy PM Cordel Hyde and Ministers Francis Fonseca and Henry Charles Usher were asked if cabinet ministers received a ten percent salary cut. Prime Minister John Briceño made that announcement in December 2020, but in a recent interview with the media, the P.S.U.’s first vice president Dean Flowers said that he had received documents showing otherwise. We asked the DPM about it.

“The first vice president of the P.S.U., Mister Flowers has gone on national television to say that it would inconsiderate for the government to ask the public sector to take a wage cut because he gotten evidence from the Ministry of Finance that you as the minister has not received a ten percent salary cut.”
