PM Briceño Commits to Meet with ABRPO After Easter Break    

And following his brief interaction with protestors in front of the Assembly Building, reporters asked PM Briceño why there was no resolution to their demands over the last year. And, as he told them, unless the matter is withdrawn from the courts, his hands remain tied. He did, however, commit to meet with them immediately after the upcoming Easter break.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“These people are standing up for their own right. It is their money and we believe that we also have a responsibility to respond to their concerns. So what we will do is have a meeting after the Easter holiday, myself along with the attorney general, minister usher and we are going to go through the steps to wind up the trust.”

“They were here last year sir.”

 

Prime Minister John Briceno

“I know, and we had them do that but what I was explaining to them, it is in court and unless the persons who took them to court withdraws that then there is nothing we can do. We want to talk to them and come up with a plan. I promise them to take my time and sit down with them to come up with a plan of action so they could get what they want.”
