PM defends Camille

“To the best of my knowledge that article contained no new information and in fact contains significant misinformation. The information that I have is that the minister did respond and I am not aware that there is any minister in the Cabinet that has put any money in any bank and did not comply with the requirements of that .

“To not comply will have consequences to that and I am not aware that there is any minister facing consequences in that area. So, I don’t know that there is anything for me to respond to.” On January 8, 2016, Robinson- Regis was reported to have walked into the Arima branch of First Citizens with cash totalling $143,800.

The minister had conducted two cash transactions — a payment to T&T Mortgage Finance Company in the sum of $60,030 via a Manager’s Cheque #70260 and a payment of $16,000 to a Visa Card. Watchdog group Fixin T&T has since called on Robinson-Regis to make public the specifics of the bank transactions she conducted on January 8, 2016.
