Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said the spending of hard-earned US dollars must be carefully prioritised.
The PM’s statement was in response to the reports of forex allegedly being used by the hierarchy of the Massy Group for “rituals” and “unusual practices.”
In a GML report, Rowley said: “US dollars are very hard to come by and not only must be earned but, once earned, must be highly and carefully prioritised before visiting modern-day, self-proclaimed oracles.”
The PM added: “Long ago, it was common and expected that rulers would go to, and consult with, the Oracle of Delphi before a battle, or major decision, in order to be advised on what the future holds for the outcome.
“Our language is Roman, our political system is Greek, so we can’t disown the heritage, if that is what it is.”
He added, “The real issue is in what currency do we pay. US dollars are very hard to come by and not only must be earned but once earned must be highly and carefully prioritised before visiting modern day self-proclaimed oracles.”
