Add the salaries of Dwayne Grazettes at the National Cultural Foundation; retired pensioner Darwin Dottin knocking around the Attorney General’s office, consultants Avinash Persaud, Dr Clyde Mascoll and the several other consultants too many to mention, who duplicate what others are doing in Government, and one will see the amount of money being thrown in a well every month. We have a civilian who will be the security consultant for the UNCTAD conference when you have a whole police force to deal with that. Now juxtaposed those salaries with the lowly-paid workers who have lost their jobs over the past few years and one would see that those political patronage salaries could have kept about 400 to 500 people in jobs.
