Finance Minister Colm Imbert. – COURTESY OFFICE OF THE PARLIAMENT

FINANCE MINISTER COLM IMBERT lauded the Central Statistical Office for having “quite up-to-date” information on its platform since it signed on to a system managed by the International Monetary Fund.

“I must congratulate them,” the minister said at the ICATT conference at the Hyatt Regency in Port of Spain. “Since they entered into this exchange of information system with the IMF, together with the Ministry of Finance, it is now quite up to date in terms of reporting GDP and other major statistics, whereas you might (previously) have had to wait two years to get that information. The CSO, as far as I can see, is now compliant with international requirements.”

Imbert said institutional strengthening is a major factor in ensuring greater monetary and financial stability and improved debt management. He said enhancing institutional capacity was a top-priority objective for Government.

“The Ministry of Finance is also driving sustainability that supports the transformational agenda within the public service through the implementation of an integrated financial management information system (IFMIS), with one central database and operation on one single entry point for all classifications of fiscal data. This new system will become fully operational in 2023 and allow us to see our financial situation in real time,” he said.

He said the system would support the adoption of the cash-basis international public-sector accounting standards (IPSAS), the development of a cash-management strategy which would include active cash-management and cash-flow forecasting, implementation of a treasury single account (TSA) and a process redesign to support automated cash management.

Imbert added that with shocks such as covid19 and supply-chain disruptions coming out of the Russia/Ukraine conflict and other shocks, government borrowing was an important tool that took the nation out of severe deficits, and was helpful in covering short-term imbalances between revenues and expenditures.

But he said it caused an increased debt-to-GDP ratio.

“To maintain a good debt-carrying capacity, the capability of several institutions such as the Debt Management Division, the Treasury Division and the Investments Division in the Ministry of Finance, as well as the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, have been strengthened to execute their role of monitoring and evaluating debt levels,” he said.

He said strengthening these institutions helped in reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio, and Government’s fiscal consolidation initiatives and revenue-enhancing policies, married with being discerning government spending, had resulted in debt trending downward from 90 per cent of GDP in 2021 to 70 per cent in 2022.

THA Chief Sec: $2.5m paid to ghost firm for zipline

Chief Secretary Farley Augustine at Friday’s press conference at Shaw Park in Tobago. – THA

CHIEF Secretary Farley Augustine has claimed that Original Canopy Tours Enterprises Ltd, which earned a THA contract in 2015 to build a 1.5km zipline in the Main Ride Forest Reserve in Tobago, is not a legitimate company.

Augustine made the revelation on Friday during a media conference at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex.

The former PNM-led THA sued the company last year, on the cusp of the December election, for US$416,900 for alleged breach of contract. The Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) had criticised the PNM and its former leader Tracy Davidson-Celestine for its handling of the project. The zipline project never materialised despite THA funds being spent.

Friday’s media briefing came hours after the THA received two freezing orders against the directors of Original Canopy Tours Enterprises Ltd – one in Trinidad and Tobago and another in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where the firm is based.

One order was granted against Richard Graham and Darren Hreniuk, of Original Canopy Tours by Justice Kevin Ramcharan on November 5. The other was granted on Thursday by Justice Gerhard Wallbank in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court’s commercial division for the High Court of the BVI.

The THA’s claim, which was filed in the High Court in November 2021, sought loss and damages for breach of contract “as a result of the defendant’s failure to deliver all materials and equipment to the claimant” as well as failure to comply with the services agreement between the parties.

The zipline project began in 2015 during the tenure of former tourism secretary Davidson-Celestine but was never completed, despite the THA’s spending some $2.5 million on it.

Augustine said on Friday, “After commencing civil proceedings against Original Canopy Tours Ltd for the receiver of millions of dollars spent on the project, it was discovered that the company was not in fact a legitimate entity.”

He said the THA’s attorney’s, led by John Jeremie, SC, did the necessary search in the BVI, where Original Canopy Tours Enterprises Ltd was said to be registered, based on the company registration documents presented to the THA, but “I just found that the company just does not exist there at all.”

Augustine said the THA’s attorneys then moved against the promoters of the company and the High Court issued a freezing injunction against the assets of these individuals in Trinidad and Tobago.

“As the company was said to be a British island company, attorneys in the BVI were retained and the High Court there recognised the injunction from Trinidad and Tobago ordered against the promoters.”

Additionally, he said the THA was granted discovery orders by the High Court against the promoters of the company.

“When we are talking about discovery orders, we are talking about the fact that the court is allowing us to serve papers on the banks in the country that do the accounts and all the financial transactions through our banking system here and in the BVI that dealt with this matter. The history of the financial transactions will be brought to play by the court and brought into the court in this matter.”

Augustine said apart from the civil proceedings, the THA has now placed the matter in the hands of the police.

“In fact, all the evidence that we have found thus far, have been reported to the fraud squad.”

He said he could not comment further on the issue but referred all queries to Jeremie.

Former tourism secretary Nadine Stewart-Phillips, who succeeded Davidson-Celestine, previously revealed that the project comprised 12-14 platforms and 11-13 lines, including a special observation platform for birdwatchers and photographers. She said the Executive Council approved $4 million for the project, which was expected to be completed within seven weeks of the materials arriving on site.

A service agreement, she had said, was signed in June 2015 between the THA and Original Canopy Tours Enterprises Ltd to design, develop and construct a high-angle canopy tour course.

Stewart-Phillips had said representatives of the company visited Tobago in September 2015 to map out the course and the division paid two of the four payments under the signed agreement.

In the campaigning ahead of the THA election, now THA chief secretary Farley Augustine raised the issue, saying Davidson-Celestine had to answer to taxpayers on the failed project.

Augustine had claimed that a 2016 auditor general’s statement expressed concern over the project, noting a visit to the stores section of the tourism division revealed only some ropes on hand.

Former chief secretary Ancil Dennis, although saying Davidson-Celestine was not guilty of any wrongdoing, decided to take action against the company.

“We are going to pursue this to the very end to ensure that the truth is revealed and to ensure that we are able to recover damages for failure to deliver this project on behalf of the people of Tobago,” he had said.

Attorneys John Jeremie, SC, Timothy Alfonso and instructing attorney Shivana Lalla were retained.

Augustine said on Friday that he was initially sceptical about the THA’s legal action under the PNM. He said the PDP administration did not change anything and allowed the matter to run its course.

Unemployed persons interested in working in the tourism industry are being encouraged to take advantage of free certification that is being offered through the Job Readiness Programme.

The programme is being implemented by the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) in collaboration with the HEART/NSTA Trust and American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI). It is aimed at attracting between 5,000 and 6,000 persons for training and certification.

Interested persons are invited to register online at www.tef.gov.jm/job-readiness to participate in the three-day programme, which will be conducted face-to-face across the island in facilities owned and operated by the HEART/NSTA Trust, and at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James.

Director, Jamaica Centre of Tourism Innovation, TEF, Carol Rose Brown, said the Job Readiness Programme will address several issues, including industry knowledge, hospitality, how to deliver service effectively, cultural information, professionalism, health and safety, and customer service.

“So, this course will envelop all these things and at the end of it, you will be examined (and) you will have a certificate if you are successful in job readiness,” said Brown.

She further indicated that participants will have the opportunity to choose whether they want to be in the customer service segment of tourism or food safety.

“When you choose, you will be able to get that certification. So, you will end up with a certificate from HEART/NSTA Trust, as well as a certificate from the AHLEI,” she added.

The programme, which got under way on November 14, is expected to end during the first week of December.

Brown said it is anticipated that the participants will eventually gain employment.

“We are committed to placing them in front of employers, and helping them navigate that space to get those jobs,” she indicated.

For more information, persons are being asked to connect with the TEF on all its social media platforms.

Shenseea’s bought herself a new whip? Loop Jamaica

After all the personal vehicle shopping for close friends and relatives, Shenseea’s copped for herself a new whip, and perhaps, three time’s the charm?

According to the Blessed hitmaker, the purchase of a new Lambo (short for Lamborghini), has been a long time coming, having made a promise to herself to purchase a ‘lambo’ in the future.

That she did!

The Lamborghini Urus Graphite Capsule in the Nero Noctis colourway sports a two-tone matte black and neon wrap with black and neon interior. It’s described as a supercharged SUV, and the “first connected Lamborghini” – a nod to its state-of-the-art connectivity and smart features.

Though she is by no means boasting about her new ride, Shenseea has stated in an Instagram post that she does it “to show you it’s possible”, “new keys, same drive,” she wrote in the caption.

This is not her first purchase, either, but it certainly is a transition from the over-the-top vehicles she’s owned in the past. Fans may remember her hard-to-miss iridescent 2019 BMW X6 – that was, reportedly, damaged in an accident in 2020, or the previous neon green BMW 5 series sedan.

In the caption on Instagram, she wrote: “I remember when I used to walk MILES to work just so I could save the little I had, even when I was [nine] months pregnant. I promised myself in the future I was gonna get a Lambo. Now I bought one myself…”.

Senator: Trinidad and Tobago must get Procurement law right

INDEPENDENT Senator Hazel Thompson-Ahye said the very future of TT depended on the Joint Select Committee (JSC) on Finance and Legal Affairs “getting it right” in examining concerns over the enactment of the partly-proclaimed Public Procurement and Disposal of Property Act 2015. She chaired a JSC virtual sitting on Friday which examined Procurement Regulator Moonilal Lalchan plus Ministry of Finance permanent secretary Jennifer Lutchman.

The senator said the public was viewing the “very, very, very important” sitting, with a keen interest in things being done properly,

“The future of our country, our citizens, depends on us getting it right.”

In her closing remarks two hours later she reiterated, “This is an extremely important act of Parliament and our very lives and livelihoods depend on us getting it right.”

Lalchan said a study found 10-30 per cent of a country’s spending was lost due to corruption, which for 20 per cent of $26 billion spent in TT equated to $5.2 billion.

“Think what we could do for the country – health care, schooling and infrastructure.

“We are in a good place to get the act proclaimed.”

He said the few outstanding issues were the act’s regulations, exempted services and the operationalising of a review board.

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh asked if the act would cover every recipient of public monies via a state grant or pension.

Lalchan replied that a strict reading of the law would suggest that, but however added, “We are dealing with procurement.”

Saying the OPR’s focus was not on individuals who get grants for things like flood relief, he said,”We don’t believe that’s the intention.”

Deyalsingh asked about “busy bodies” who might stymie the procurement system by judicial review and lawsuits reaching the Privy Council.

Lalchan assured, “Challenge proceedings are very restricted.”

Deyalsingh feared the act creating possible delays in his acquisition of life-saving equipment for patients in public hospitals. Lalchan replied, “The act shall not apply to medical emergencies.”

He hoped the act could be used as “a catalyst to change the society.”

Lalchan said someone may visit the OPR office to lodge a complaint or alternatively remain anonymous by using the OPR’s whistle blowing facility, administered by an organisation reassuringly located outside of TT. “It’s literally a Chinese wall,” he said of the whistle-blowing mechanism.

Thompson-Ahye said Lalchan was “well-prepared, armed and straining at the bit”, but asked his views on the judiciary’s concerns about the act.

He replied that regarding the OPR’s evidence gathering, the office would first ask a public body for information. Next, the OPR would not use any big stick but must apply to a judge in chambers for a court order to seek information. Lalchan said, “So there’s protection in the legislation to prevent an abuse of power by the OPR.”

Of the possibility of too many complainants overwhelming the law courts, he said any objection to a OPR decision first goes through the OPR, then to the Review Board and only then to the court if still required by that stage. Saying the OPR had held 325 consultations with stakeholders, he reckoned no more talks were needed.

“We need to get the act proclaimed; see how it works.” He said if any requests were then made to amend the act, these could be compiled and addressed.

Lalchan remarked, “Success for the OPR is not about how many people are behind bars; It is about compliance with the act.”

OPR head of legal Lindy-Ann Mitchell, in reply to Deyalsingh, said the OPR’s rules of evidence with be based on a balance of probabilities, while challenge proceedings will be more informal than law court procedures.

JSC member Keith Scotland asked if it would be more prudent to address the judiciary’s concerns before proclaiming the act, to which Lalchan said the OPR addressed all concerns.Scotland asked about any empirical study in TT (on corruption losses), but Lalchan said without full proclamation the OPR couldn’t track those statistics. He said the Prime Minister in January noted a need to make a severe dent in white collar crime, by digital transformation.

Replying to Scotland, Lalchan anticipated input from Attorney General Reginald Armour.

Deyalsingh asked if named charity getting State help could only hire a handyman registered at the OPR. Lalchan said yes. Thompson-Ahye asked if that provision protected the public from shoddy work, to which Lalchan replies yes.

The JSC questioned Finance Ministry officials on the readiness of state enterprises for the act’s proclamation.

Lutchman couldn’t say how many entities had their procurement processes examined by the ministry’s Central Audit Committee.

Thompson-Ahye said she now detected “a sense of hesitation” unlike that ministry’s previous enthusiasm, saying, “I’m perplexed.”

Gymnast Thema Williams opens athletics academy in Maraval

Thema Williams –

Former Trinidad and Tobago gymnast Thema Williams is writing a new chapter of her sports business career by opening the Thema Williams Athletic Academy on Saddle Road, Maraval.

The 26-year-old award-winning athlete opened the doors of her gym, which caters for children one and up, last Sunday.

A statement issued on Friday said the gym aims to create “a safe space for all-rounded childhood athletic development.”

With the slogan “What We Do Not Have, We Build. Whatever We Imagine, We Create”, Williams’s academy offers a variety of options for class participation, including Mummy and Me classes, Children’s Fun Fitness sessions and acro classes and open gym sessions.

Williams says her goal is to contribute meaningfully and positively affect TT youth by providing a healthy sporting environment.

“We intend to create initiatives that foster teamwork through sport and culture. We envision an environment in sport built on the pillars of accountability, equity, integrity, knowledge and transparency.

“I started by offering private gymnastics classes during the pandemic, and word quickly spread throughout a network of reputable people. Before I knew it, I had five clients weekly,” Williams said.

She became so passionate about her calling that she used limited resources to make equipment from materials that were immediately accessible.

“I made my first balance beam with wood from my home storage unit, created my own mats using foam and glue, and sewed leather covers myself.”

By the end of 2021, her academy had enrolled over 100 students. With the rapid demand, Williams decided to set up her gym in Maraval to accommodate the community’s steady growth.

In attendance to celebrate the gym’s opening were Williams’s family and close friends, along with parents and children.

Under the supervision of her team, boys and girls engaged in an afternoon of non-stop activities on various gymnastics circuits, including the balance beam, tumbling mats and vaults.

Williams hopes to formulate a robust gymnastics programme to nurture talent while providing a pipeline of opportunities for local gymnasts through international partnerships – including student-athlete programmes and athletic scholarships.

Williams competed internationally and finished 59th in the all-around at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in 2015, which helped her qualify for the Olympic Games in 2016.

However, she was overlooked by the TT Gymnastics Federation (TTGF) and Canadian-based TT gymnast Marisa Dick was eventually selected. For this “biased and flawed decision,” the TTGF was ordered by the court, in November 2018 to pay Williams $223,000 in compensation. However, she was only paid in October this year.

Abattoir Road flooding being investigated

Port of Spain mayor Joel Martinez said work is being carried out to clear the drains under the Port of Spain market so that the water which has pooled on Abattoir Road will subside. These flood waters have been causing heavy traffic for vehicles entering and leaving Port of Spain since Wednesday.

He told Newsday that he visited the area on Friday evening and realised there was a lot of pooling of water.

“I was told originally that it was the pumps in the area that had no diesel and weren’t working but I was informed that it was the drains under the market being clogged and not being cleaned for some time. We sent out the engineering team from the council to look at it. I was told by the CEO that the team couldn’t determine if it was the drains because there was too much water.

“I spoke to the minister again who indicated the pumps were not the problem as there was not sufficient water for the pumps to take it out, they had been working for the last three days, and it was only this morning that they had to reprime the pumps and do a slight overhaul.

“He said it was that the drains needed to be cleaned so I reached back out to the corporation CEO to ask her to send the engineering teams back out there so the drains could be cleaned with immediate effect and the waters could subside.”

Martinez said he had reached out to the corporation CEO on Wednesday when he had initially heard about the traffic problems and thought the matter had been dealt with.

MP Keith Scotland said there had been no reports of flooding in St James and Woodbrook with the rains over the past two days. He said an investigation would be carried out into the root causes of the flooding at Abattoir Road. He noted two members of the joint select committee he was a part of on Friday were delayed because of the traffic caused by the issue.

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh, speaking at the NWRHA’s influenza vaccination outreach at the Brian Lara Promenade on Friday, said the flooding was also a health issue, as people were at risk of contracting leptospirosis.

“The urine from rodents has a bacteria called leptospirosis which can cause severe disease and death in humans.

“We have had a few cases reported, especially in San Fernando, since flooding began. I am imploring people to not deliberately go into flood waters, unless there is danger to life and property, especially in farms areas and where there are rodents present.

If you have to handle dead animals, use plastic gloves or double plastic bags over your hands, and wear a mask to avoid inhaling pathogens. Follow public health measures as much as possible.”

5 flu deaths since October from 749 cases

There have been five deaths as a result of the influenza virus since the beginning of the flu season in October. Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said while the vaccination numbers are encouraging, he is urging more people to get vaccinated, especially pregnant people and those with non-communicable diseases.

Deyalsingh was speaking at the NWRHA’s influenza vaccination outreach at the Brian Lara Promenade on Friday. He said he was encouraged by the number of people who had taken the vaccine since the start of the vaccination programme on October 28.

“So far we have given out 15,913 doses in the last three weeks, which is very good since we gave out 26,000 over the entire six-month flu season last year. It shows that the population is not vaccine wary, which was a concern. There have been 749 cases of the flu detected since the season began.

“Our target populations are those with chronic diseases and pregnant women. We have vaccinated 7,149 people with chronic diseases but only 136 pregnant people. The challenge is to get them to come in to be vaccinated, as they fear the vaccine will hurt the child when the opposite is true. If they get vaccinated, the child has six months protection when it is born.”

Deyalsingh said 187 children under the age of five had been vaccinated, with 892 doses being administered to children over five, and 6,932 adults had been given vaccines. He said 617 health workers had been vaccinated.

Acting director of health at the North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) Dr Antony Parkinson said the influenza virus affected mostly young people aged six months to eight years old, and those over 50. He reminded that the virus can make people sick very quickly, unlike the common cold where the symptoms take longer to develop and leave.

“The flu attacks when your immunity is lowered, and this particular strain attacks your lungs and causes pneumonia. You will be having difficulty breathing. Oxygen would not be passing your lungs to get to your bloodstream and therefore you would be short of breath and breathing fast quickly. You will have a fever, you may be delirious, you may be dehydrated because you were vomiting, diarrhoea may have occurred with it, and you may be disoriented.

“When you come to the hospital, we will try to rehydrate you carefully and also try to administer oxygen to you. The simplest way is to put the oxygen mask on, and we hope that’s the most we have to do. If you developed a secondary bacterial infection, we would give you antibiotics. Hopefully you don’t have to reach the intensive care unit.”

Parkinson said the only preventative measure against the worst effects of the virus is to get the vaccine, which would also lessen the effects of the common cold.

He said pregnant people were especially at risk for experiencing the worst effects of the virus, as having a baby meant their immune system was suppressed to some extent. He appealed to mothers especially to get vaccinated.

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean announced on Friday that Aiko recently gave birth, and they revealed their baby boy’s name.

In a post shared on Instagram, Aiko shared that she gave birth on November 8 to her second child and Big Sean’s first child, Noah Hasani. “After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain…he came,” she wrote with the emotional face emoji. “my baby Yoda, my Sani,” she added on her Instagram.

Jhené Aiko also shared several images, presumably before she gave birth. One photo showed her in a hospital bed with her eyes closed and legs crisscrossed as if meditating. In others, she also shared one of Big Sean taking a nap as he waited on their son’s arrival.

Big Sean also shared the same caption on his Instagram but a different set of photos, including one where his son’s tiny hand grasps his index finger. He also shared another photo of him holding the infant with his shirt off while the baby is swaddled in the hospital blanket, no doubt bonding in skin-to-skin contact.

Among those who congratulated the couple was producer Hitboy, rapper T.I, singer John Legend, 2Chainz, DJ Khaled, and many others.

The news about Jhené Aiko’s pregnancy first came in June when a woman claimed that she had seen a pregnant Aiko in the grocery store.

The “Chilombo” artist and her longtime partner only confirmed the pregnancy in late summer after they were spotted out for a stroll.

Last month, while performing at a joint event with his partner, Big Sean revealed that they were preparing to welcome a baby boy but did not share when the child was expected.

Hasani is Jhené Aiko’s second child, as she has a daughter Namiko Love Browner who is 13 years old. This is Big Sean’s first child, and he is ecstatic to be a father.
