Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) Farley Augustine has dismissed claims from the Prime Minister that Tobago-based contractors are being discriminated against in favour of their Trinidadian counterparts.
He also accused Dr Rowley of trying to mislead the public and “spewing covert racist rhetoric.”
Rowley’s remarks came during his address at the Diego Martin West constituency conference on Wednesday night in which he claimed that Tobago used a $300 million allocation to hire Trinidadian contractors, owing to the perception that Tobagonian contractors were PNM supporters.
