Baksh responds to new allegations

IN RESPONSE to renewed allegations about his role in the Piarco Airport development project, UNC Senator Sadiq Bksh yesterday reiterated his position that the Commission of Inquiry was nothing short of a “circus.”

In a telephone interview yesterday Baksh said while he had not heard the latest developments, he was not overly concerned about the new allegations.  “The circus continues,” he said. Baksh was accused yesterday of hiding the real cost of the airport project. The former Works and Transport Minister under the UNC administration said the Commission had failed to unearth any wrongdoing at the project. However, he declined to elaborate saying an appropriate response would be forthcoming once all the allegations have been made public.
