Augustine asks JSC: Why 6 8% for Tobago?

Augustine asks JSC: Why 6.8% for Tobago? PDP deputy leader Farley Augustine. FILE PHOTO PDP deputy political leader Farley Augustine is calling on the Joint Select Committee (JSC) to explain how they came up with the proposal to allocate a minimum of 6.8 per cent of the national budget to Tobago. In an interview with Newsday on Monday, Augustine said the members of the JSC need to provide some clarity on the figure. “We are wondering how the JSC arrived at 6.8 per cent. What is the justification, what is the arithmetic behind it?” He added: “They have not been able to properly justify how they arrived at 6.8 per cent. (It) cannot do the kind of development work that is needed in Tobago; we’re talking about capital expenditure work that is needed in Tobago and so that is something that has to be revisited.”
