Reveal names of ‘Germany 200’

MANY people questioned Jack Warner about the distribution of tour packages for World Cup Germany.

I have been reliably informed that the Government has acquired 200 tickets for the finals. These tickets would form part of a package for the World Cup. It means the holders of these tickets would get all-expenses-paid trips to Germany.

The average cost of a tour package is $40,000. Therefore, taxpayers will be called upon to foot a bill of at least $8 million.

Just as everyone who called upon Warner to be transparent, as a concerned taxpayer I am requesting that the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs state exactly what is the actual cost of sending this contingent of 200 people. Furthermore, the list of people selected should be made available for taxpayers to scrutinise.

Indeed, the only justification the government can have for sending so many people on the txpayer's bill, is if those persons are National Heroes and the 1989 Strike squad.

Anything else is purely disgraceful and squandering of the Tax payers dollars.

If either Ashton Forde (T&T Information Attaché at the High Commission in London) or Terry Joseph are at the Warrior Nation lime up here on Thursday, I'll see what information they could be induced to share about the 200 tickets.
