President of the Tobago Business Chamber Martin George is calling on leaders of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) to clear the air on the voice note, in which two people alleged to be THA officials are heard discussing the use of assembly funds to pay for partisan political activity.
George, in a video post on social media, said it is now incumbent upon the leaders of the THA to come out and clear the air and indicate what, if any position, they have in relation to these matters, as they do not appear to be going away or dying quickly and have taken a life of its own.
He said Tobagonians are demanding that the current leadership of the THA show that as far as Tobago politics goes, it must be held to a higher moral and ethical standard, and one which can withstand scrutiny and searching and searing investigation, in so far as honesty, transparency and forthrightness.
George said unless this matter is addressed, one way or the other, there is going to be a continuing, lingering question mark over the relevance, validity, transparency and honesty of persons who may or may not, in one way or another, be implicated or associated with this voice note.
