No blanket authorisation for SVG volcano relief money – PM
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves Social Share
No entity outside of select government and regional organisations have been given permission to raise money on behalf of the Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines for volcano relief.
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves made this declaration on Wednesday, while speaking on radio, also adding that he has no intention of granting any entity permission to do so at this time.
“You have people with associations, Vincentians overseas, they raise their money, that’s your business you want to give to them, but I say there are these other platforms…I don’t want the government to be held accountable to giving imprimatur to any agency, other than the agencies of the government and the established regional agencies,” the Prime Minister said on NBC radio’s Face to Face morning programme.
