Retired public servants waiting for money

THE EDITOR: The following letter is for Mr Manning.

The Right Honourable Mr Patrick Manning
Office of the Prime Minister
Whitehall
Maraval Road
Port-of-Spain.

Dear Mr Prime Minister,

In your budget presentation to the Honourable House of Representatives for the fiscal year 2002-2003, you promised that all public servants would be paid the long outstanding monies due them for the past fifteen (15) years. You said that it would be paid between November, 2002 and January 2003. To date, April 23, 2003 it has not been paid. I am a retired monthly paid worker of the Port Authority trying to make ends meet on my small but welcomed pension.
Please Mr Manning if you could see it fit to pay us our increments and the 10 percent owed to us you would make retired public servants very happy. We are aware that your hands are full with the current situations in the country, but we public servant pensioners are anxiously awaiting a speedy and positive response.
