Size of budget contradicts claims of empty treasury, says Jagdeo
Former president Bharrat Jagdeo has criticised the size of the proposed national budget, saying that while the APNU+AFC administration has been claiming that the former government left the country bankrupt, it is now planning to spend more than what was spent last year.
“For the past two months, they have been making the case that the country is bankrupt, that the country is totally bankrupt…,” Jagdeo told a news conference at Freedom House yesterday.
