The Op­po­si­tion PNM has called on the rul­ing PP to state the cost of print­ing and cir­cu­lat­ing the in­vi­ta­tions and book­lets on the Gov­ern­ment's achieve­ments which the PP has is­sued to sup­port­ers. A copy of the glossy, high colour book­let was is­sued to each sup­port­er along with the let­ter of in­vi­ta­tion, signed by the Prime Min­is­ter, to at­tend to­day's PP an­niver­sary ral­ly at Mid Cen­tre Mall, Ch­agua­nas. The 27-page book­let chron­i­cles the PP's achieve­ments in var­i­ous ar­eas from so­cial de­vel­op­ment to in­fra­struc­tur­al works.

PNM Port-of-Spain North MP Pat McIn­tosh has called on Gov­ern­ment to say who specif­i­cal­ly bore the cost of print­ing the book­lets and let­ters, whether the state or oth­er­wise. McIn­tosh sought de­tails on the num­ber of in­vi­ta­tions and book­lets pub­lished, how they were con­veyed to sup­port­ers, whether postal or not, and the cost of that. She said the PP had cam­paigned on the ba­sis of trans­paren­cy and ac­count­abil­i­ty and as such she was seek­ing in­for­ma­tion on the book­lets. (GA)
