Minister apologises to THA
Tuesday 1st March, 2011

 

Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism, Winston Gypsy Peters, has apologized to the Tobago House of Assembly for statements he made on the hosting of Carnival in Tobago.

 

The THA and its Chief Secretary Orville London have been strongly critical of Minister Peter's statement last month regarding the staging of Carnival in October but the Minister said his announcement was misunderstood and he was simply seeking the best interest of the island.

 

"I did not mean to disrespect him or the THA in any way. We needed to go forward with something, I decided to do that. I spoke about it and I have since expressed how I feel about it. So we move on from there."

 

The Minister made the statement following discussions with Mr. London. He said the initiative is aimed at boosting Tobago's struggling economy and its revenue.
