The Government of Trinidad & Tobago through its Minister of Works & Transport, Colm Imbert has denied rumours that it is purchasing a $63m Private Jet for its own use.
Minister Imbert announced that Caribbean Airlines will own and maintain the jet but admitted that the the local government has purchased 600 flight hours per annum. Minister Imbert did not disclose how these hours will be used but cited the loss of productivity of high level government officials was the main objective for the Trinidad & Tobago government to purchase these private jet flight hours, using Prime Minister Patrick Manning's recent trip to Uganda as one such ocassion.
Other Caribbean Governments may jump on the Private Jet bandwagon if it's deemed feasible. A US$120,000 feasibility study will be commissioned and cost bourne by the Government of T&T stated Minister Imbert.
Trinidad and Tobago's Opposition Leader, Basdeo Panday has called on PM Patrick Manning to detail and justify these costs to the public in tomorrow's sitting of parliament. Hear PM Manning's response and get further updates from any of the Trinbago channels: CNC3, Gayelle the channel, 103FM, Ebony 104FM, Radio Trinbago 94.7FM, Radio 90.5FM, Sangeet 106.1FM and/or The Vibe CT105FM.
