UNC rejects “STOLEN MONEY” assertion by Senator Balgobin
MEDIA STATEMENT
The United National Congress completely rejects the assertion that any of its activities is funded by “Stolen Money”.
In a front page article in the Trinidad Express dated April 24th 2013, under the caption “Balgobin: stolen $ may have funded campaign” it is reported that Independent Senator Dr. Rolph Balgobin told the Senate that “If what is said in there is even half true, and if it is also half true that one of the Central figures in the report actually bailed out and assisted a number of Ministers and paid for…electoral campaign then you would have come to government with stolen Money “.
This is an extremely unfortunate conclusion based on inaccurate premises and unsubstantiated allegation.
The United National Congress reiterates that it rejects completely this allegation of Independent Senator Balgobin.

So how come this find its way in the bill at hand????? These independents are not giving taxpayers VALUE for their money spent on them. Both Government and Opposition may be biased on a particular subject…. but WE DO NOT GET independent views from the “independents”…. as amatter of fact, they sound like opposition….. and NOT even putting any solutions foward. So Senator Balgobin’s only relevant point is that some “soldiers” allegedly beat up some boys in Mon repos…. DUH….. we read that in the newspapers days before and so did he…. so is their job to go there and repeat unsubstantiated newspaper reports….. right now they appear to be a waste of MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS… hmmmm which can also be said that they are “stealing” state dollars too……
