Trinidad’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has removed a programme allegedly being used to fund criminals from her sports minister's control.
The controversial multimillion-dollar Life Sport programme is now being operated out of the security ministry.
In what is being seen as another blow to embattled Sport Minister Anil Roberts, the Prime Minister said she has taken note of concerns raised in the public about the programme.
To date, Trinidad’s Government has spent over $150 million on the programme, which the Ministry of Finance has discovered is riddled with irregularities.
