MP for Tobago West Shamfa Cudjoe is of the view that THA Chief Secretary, Farley Augustine, is hellbent on taking Tobagonians for fools.
She made the comment via a Facebook post, after Augustine on Wednesday claimed the PNM was behind police raids conducted at the homes of past and present THA officials over the weekend. Augustine’s own home was raided on Tuesday.
The raids were conducted as part of a police probe into a controversial audio clip in which people, believed to be high-ranking government officials, can be heard planning to use THA resources to fund a political propaganda campaign.
Cudjoe, in response to Augustine’s claims, said: “If your allegations were true, you won’t need the protection of the House.”
“Stop use the Tobago House of Assembly to promote political gimmickry, push propaganda, spread lies, and implicate people. Bunch of Cowards! Take your “evidence” to the police and stop waste taxpayers time and money.”
She said Augustine is “hell-bent on insulting the intelligence of Tobagonians and making yourselves look like fools. A gang of jokers, imposters, mocking pretenders and punks.”
Cudjoe added: “Called an Emergency Sitting of the House to share He Say, She Say from a former member of your PDP executive.
“So you sit down, plot your evil, engage in criminal activity, get recorded by your own executive member of the PDP, then when police come to your door, throw a pity party.”
