| …must disclose details of overseas trips, expenditures – Dr Van-West CharlesEminent politician and former Minister in the Guyana Government, Dr Richard Van-West Charles, says that President Bharrat Jagdeo needs to report more often to Parliament, especially as it relates to his overseas visits and their expenditures.This, he said, was particularly important, given that the members of the National Assembly have to approve the monies that he uses for his many overseas trips.He said that the President has visited a great deal of countries but he has failed to inform the members of the Parliament exactly what has transpired on the trips overseas.“It is not simply to hold a press conference…he owes the parliament that votes the money for the functioning of the Office of the President to inform at least once a year.”He said that Jagdeo must inform them about the outputs emanating from the visits.Dr Charles told this newspaper there are very many concerns about the allocations in the budgetary process.“We do have a concern on how monies are allocated and how they are actually spent.”The Office of the President, specifically President Bharrat Jagdeo, recently came under fire in the media as it relates to the cost/benefits of his many trips overseas.Leader of the Alliance for Change, Raphael Trotman, had charged that the President’s overseas trips over the past two and a half years, cost close to $1B.This has since been refuted the Finance Minister,NFL Jerseys China, Dr Ashni Singh, who placed the figure of the expenses of the entire Government at about $200M, adding that a quick perusal of the estimates laid in the National Assembly could verify this.However, a quick perusal of the estimates to which Dr Singh referred under overseas conferences and official visits there is no figure for the Office of the President.In recent times, President Jagdeo has been to Iran, Kuwait, Dubai and Libya among numerous other state visits. |
