Mayor of Chaguanas Faaiq Mohammed has responded to claims from the Rural Development and Local Government minister Faris Al-Rawi that his corporation has funds that are not being used.

After saying that the Mayor said that the Chaguanas Borough Corporation may have to let go about 624 workers, Al-Rawi said that the CBC had accessed about $8.6 million.

In a press release, he said, “Nothing could be further from the truth! As Al Rawi well knows, the CBC has a shortfall in Personal Expenditure of $3,379,520.00 and an overall shortfall of approximately $ 6 million.”
