How far dis thing going??
« on: June 13, 2007, 06:24:41 AM »
I jus wondering what de hell going on here, check dis out WN

Mark wants probe into PM's son

Anna Ramdass aramdass@trinidadexpress.com


Wednesday, June 13th 2007
 
 
 Government has denied a claim by Opposition Senator Wade Mark that Bryan Manning, son of Prime Minister Patrick Manning, has been granted some $4 million to start a basketball team.

Mark is calling for an enquiry into a number of cases which he claims reek of corruption when he spoke during his contribution to the Finance (Supplementary) Appropriation Bill 2007 at the Senate sitting at the Red House.

As he quoted from the Government's financial documents Mark questioned how was it possible for Cabinet to grant Manning's son $3.9 million to start a basketball company called the Trinidad and Tobago Pro League Limited.

He said he tried in vain to find information from the Registrar General's office on this company as there was none even though it was given a licence by the Basketball Federation.

"We want an investigation into $3.9 million that is being granted to the son of the Prime Minister to start a basketball team," he said.

Energy Minister Dr Lenny Saith in defence said that Mark was mistaken and money was paid to the pro football team and the Football Federation.  

So I jus wondering where dis 3.9m gone now ??? ??? ??? ???

Dr. Strange, what you read was only part of the story....

Lenny Saith further went on to say that they gave 3 million to the PFL and 13 million to the TTFF.  He mentioned too (and I paraphrasing here) that Mark should have known better because UNC's own Jack Warner is head of the TTFF and he also has a team..Joe Public...in the PFL.

Manning's son later responded to the media by saying that they APPLIED for 3 million, to start up a professional Basketball League.  They still awaiting word as to whether the money will be granted, and that the money was supposed to be used over a three year period, not from September to November this year as Mark was implying.
